Rolex Batman 126710BLNR 'Clean V2'
Hello, I am new to RWI and would really appreciate some advice. In hindsight should have joined this forum before I made my first purchase but you live and learn!!
I have very recently purchased a
Rolex Batman 126710BLNR 'Clean V2' from 'time on wrist'. When I started wearing it I discovered a few issues that I needed some expert advice on the following points:
1) Text on the dial reading GMT Master II text doesn't seem as white as it should be and is more of a grey colour - is it just my imagination?!
2)The bezel rotation is very very stiff and requires a lot of force to turn, particularly around the 2pm hour marker.
3) When I adjust the hour hand the gmt hand moves in a very strange way when it clicks on the hour - is this normal?
These are not the issues I would have expected from a "super clone" costing $518. Am I being paranoid or are these issues normal?
I have raised with the seller and he disagrees with my points and told me to go on the RWI forum to get opinions from professional watch collectors. I purchased by credit card and don't know if I have any buyer protection whatsoever.
If I had known that these would be the problems then wouldnt have bought this watch. To be honest communication from the seller has been excellent and the only disagreement is the points raised above. This is the link to the watch but seller said he sent me the clean v2 which is the better model:
When I asked his why the QC pics didn't match the watch I was given he said that he'd sent me the updated version.
Would really appreciate your advice and happy to post videos of that helps. Sorry for the long post and looking forward to your feedback. Thanks.
