Aaaaargh Mark put it in a bag of rice quick! Get your AD to pressure test and check the seals! Stop reading this...go go go!

Time to part it out.

Well after reading thousands of posts on forum over the past 14 years many think this is true, especially over the past 5 years or so.

Padi, I'm with you I can barely handle the pain of some of these threads....However I did get a snow flake on my dial of my DSSD this morning, please advise...

Wcdhtwn · 28 November 2018, 01:04 PM

Send to RSC immediately!! They have special Rolex towels, squeegees, rice, air driers and evaporator that should be able to get those drizzle spots off. You might want to get the HEV replaced, water is a killer for those.

Hard_Six · 28 November 2018, 01:04 PM

That looks bad..... I’d be worried as well.

SS Oyster · 28 November 2018, 01:09 PM

OMG did I do this horror with my triplock crown unscrewed? All that rain and only two gaskets to protect that sensitive 3235?

ttomczak · 28 November 2018, 02:00 PM

It’s ruined now, I’ll offer 5k as a parts watch...

SS Oyster · 28 November 2018, 03:47 PM

It was worth braving the rain ... got to stop in at the AD. The manager screamed when she saw that I was treating my sacred Rolex in such a disrespectful manner.

First thing they did was remove my name from the LVc and Pepsi lists. Now I'm sad because my SD43 is ruined, and I'll never be able to get another SS professional Rolex (not that any "list" is going to result in a call).

All joking aside, I did actually get to see their "lists", which were real with crossed out names at the top ... I guess they either got them or refused when they got the call. I think these lists are only the backup after all VIPs (PM buyers) have said "no thanks". I did have a nice conversation with the AD partner owner, who was a very nice guy. He gave me another (one for my office) Rolex catalogue and Magazine #08 (one with Explorer II Polar on cover). Both very nice for my office. I already have both at home on my coffee table.

My wife thinks I'm crazy because I quiz her while flipping through the catalogue or magazine while watching TV at night. "Ok Babe, what is this bezel made of on the GMT Master II Pepsi? How do they achieve two colors? From what material is the hairspring made? What is the power reserve of the new 3235 movement?" She just looks at me and says, "Hush, I'm trying to watch this show."

Don't worry, it's not a panerai, it is rated for more than 3 meters haha

Rain water voids the warranty

jd57 · 28 November 2018, 08:55 PM

Should have gotten the DSSD if you were going to treat it like that!

Fat_ninja · 28 November 2018, 09:01 PM

But your hand and sweater looks dry? Lol. Jk

DP63 · 28 November 2018, 09:29 PM

Do you have a rain spot remover kit?

Are Rolex holding back on these kits to create a bubble? Is it indeed water or is it bubbles? will the warranty card be any use now that its been splashed? Will RSC refuse to service due to H2O contamination? how long is it safe to leave the offending bubbles on the steel? Oxidizaaaaaaaaation!!!!!!!!

Psmith · 28 November 2018, 09:32 PM

samson66 · 28 November 2018, 09:56 PM
