Hi, I received the QC photos of the Submariner 116610 ARF A2824
I found these three problems:
  • Distance between the lug and the sel (top right)
  • On the ring the 12 seems a bit wrong
  • Side of the ring a little ruined (I asked another photo to see if it is dirt that goes away or not)

The timegrapher seems to me very good:
0.7 s/d
0.0 ms
301°

Do you agree with these flaws?
I think I accept but some other opinion would make me comfortable.
Also consider that I would like a clock out of the box without making any changes. But to be taken and worn immediately.
Thank you and I hope I have not violated the regulation.

If by "ring" you mean "bezel" then I'm not sure. Personally I think the bezel is fine and I'm sure those marks are just dirt. As for the SEL, ya that does look a little too off from that pic.

Apart from the damge/dirt on the bezel, those "flaws" you mentioned even occur on the real deal.

Also the positioning of crown on the inner rehaut looks mighty fine, look at this gen for example:

Thanks..can the problem of sel be serious? can it cause a little "game" between the lug and the sel?
another pic where we see the defect:

Hmmmm Idk. I dont like saying no to QC pics but that SEL would bug me. But others may disagree.

The watch looks fantastic. Those are highly magnified pictures. The area you circled with red will NEVER be visible and is microscopic. The SEL is fine. Be careful about rejecting this watch. The next watch may have issues. This one is great. You are being way too picky. Tell your TD I will take it if you reject it.

Second identical topic in few hours. I advice op to open on other topic on Rolex owners forum to ask them if qc pics are fine or not. Lol
