First time puretime buyer - SUBMARINER 116613 LN BLACK CERAMIC ARF 1:1 BEST EDITION 904L

[stallion]

Hi guys,

I just received my submariner 116613 LN from puretime.

The watch looks good but I noticed few scratches on the inside of the flip lock and I opened the bracelet no more than 5 times.
It seems that the color doesn’t remain in that area. Is it normal? The flip lock looks very poor quality comparing to the rest of the watch.

I’m not an expert in Rolex, but this detail make think immediately to a cheap replica and now I’ve few doubts on the durability of the rest of the watch.

I attached few pics, let me know what do you think about guys, maybe I’m wrong

thanks

It's a normal point of wear I think. Don't bother too much. Show us the full watch!

This is a normal thing, my friend. You can not avoid any scratches while using it, even if you take good care of it. It happens all the time.

Put it in the box and never wear it again,...

This is not a normal thing, and your QC expert confirmed me that all those models have this factory defect and he didn’t know about it before, other replica watches have only the lock scratches but they don’t have the white spot whiteout color.

They offered me to send it back and they will replace the bracelet for free, but I’ll have to pay for the shipment.
Or I can buy a new bracelet for 68$.

Obviously I’m not happy to spend more money to replace something that was clearly defected from the beginning, I immediately noticed it and I’m not even an expert.

BTW like I said the watch is beautiful, it’s a shame it has this defect!

First world problems.

The watch is beautiful! I wouldn’t worry about such a minor thing. Specially when it’s not visible when you’re wearing it. Enjoy mate!

It will be the same even you buy a new bracelet, and since it is inside the clasp and I think let's just enjoy the watch instead of sending back or spending more on the new bracelet.

The watch is beautiful and well made.
Enjoy it and don't think about a thing you cannot see while using it.

Cheers
