I just bought a new rolex and noticed a few problems.

The crown is not aligned when fully screwed in. Mine is pointing east.

The date changes at 12:05 and not exactly at midnight.

I think I’m only getting 69.5 hours of power reserve.

The lume isn’t lasting all night.

Plus I’m not sure if it’s keeping good time. Lost 2 seconds this week, but I need to test it with the dial pointed towards the north star tonight to be sure.

By the way, is it safe to wear my Rolex when giving my buddies a high five when my team scores?

Appreciate your help.

No

No

No

I don't think so (do you wear it in the dark for hours and wake up and can't read it)

Now I just got to this question and realized I'm being trolled but I'll post anyway

And high fives are off limits unless you want your escapement to burst into pieces.

I would send it in, just to be on the safe side.

Or better yet, send it to me.

Hey Buddy,

I love seeing posts like this because it shows i'm not the only OCD one. Everything you've noted is normal.

this guy trolling us?

Wow am I the only one who knows this guy is trolling.

You hit all of everyones buttons, funny brother, well done!!

Pretty sure it’s totaled. In an effort to be environmentally conscious and keep you from just throwing it away I offer a disposal service that will only cost you 10% of the scrap price.

BumbleB · 22 October 2019, 10:20 AM

I would sell it to a grey, but be prepared to take a haircut because of all the defects...

I think that you pretty much covered all of them.

Of course, you know that you have to stomp down there and demand a new watch.

Are you sure you bought it? I would’ve thought you inherited it from your grandfather?

locutus49 · 22 October 2019, 11:24 AM

Warranty is only good if you leave on the stickers.

Bluside · 22 October 2019, 11:42 AM

Sounds like you’ve voided the warranty already

jvb.nc · 22 October 2019, 12:14 PM

wait, rolex has a warranty?!

inadeje · 22 October 2019, 12:29 PM

Solution = casio

ROLEX MAN · 22 October 2019, 12:30 PM

This is the reason why 99.9% of people wear a cheap Quartz watch.

No warranty i'm afraid.
None of these issues is specifically mentioned in the documentation that comes with the watch. Nor are they implied

Bladeshot · 22 October 2019, 12:34 PM

Well played!

toolr · 22 October 2019, 12:59 PM

It's either flawed or fake... take it back asap!!!

He missed only one

‘Will my watch go up in value as I bought it for investment?’

His name has some thought to it and doesn’t have a series of numbers in it.

(Sorry. But you know it’s true.)

What if I cover the stickers (and the rest of the watch) with a Zagg shield?

WatchLurv · 22 October 2019, 01:59 PM

That's what you get when it came straight out of the Noob factory.
