Also it's loses 1-2 min per day .. abd the watch still new( less then 1 week )

Is it worth the risk to send it back to my td
Or any watchsmith can fix that easily cause I don't know any watchsmith

Ok so this movement is absolutely not ok. My runs now +-0,5 seconda per day after regulation. I would look to find a rep-friendly watchsmith locally. Sending back to China is always pain in the ass.

Btw who was your TD?

I know QC is frowned upon but a bit unsure specifically on the 6 marker that looks skew to me together with the rolex in the rehaut and SEL. (I have read the SEL guide but looking for a second opinion) or am I crazy?

(my first foray into rolex reps)

Thank you.

New to the rolex world and first rolex rep. Was just really unsure about the SEL.

SELs vary a lot in Gens too. That one is well within gen like parameters . What was bothering you about them?

Thank you. Thought it looks a bit uneven but possible due to angles and the way it angles off between the lugs. Obviously we cannot compare to gens but saw the other reps which members have and they just look a whole lot better but thank you for giving me the re-assurance that it's fine.

I've ordered one of these for my wife. She loved the smaller version at the AD, but buying the noob 40mm version means I can also wear it! Upstairs for thinking and downstairs for dancing!

i think 40 is a good size for a woman. Saw Cameron Diaz wearing a sub and it looked great. More blingy on a small wrist for some reason

got my 3135 grey dial YM today.

Few things I've noticed -

-datewheel font is too thin although every date is centered.

-bracelet is flimsy, although looks great.clasp could work better.

-Rehaut is excellent which perfect alignment and gen like shine.

- sunburst effect on the dial is done well. I feel the dial print could be more bold.

-SEL is good but I can notice the difference from my gens.

-Bezel clicks and works well and has good marker alignment

-Crystal is... a rep crystal so it will never be close.

I was gonna put a gen xtal and date wheel in it but I changed my mind. Off to m2m it goes

My batman gen supposedly has the same kind of bracelet and it feels much heavier. It kinda rattles. It probably would be much better with some spa treatment. My bluesy bracelet feels much more substantial and solid. I was also disappointed that it's not a glidelock clasp.

It looks fantastic but handling it is a dead giveaway

hey guys, purchased my first rep, just received qc pictures, after reviewing them, i feel like i have found a few issues with the watch, first the lume on the seconds hand seems a little off, and the SEL on the bottom right seems to have a larger gap.

i know posting qc pics is not generally tolerated but i would really love some input, is it normal what im seeing??

thanks for any help guys

The lume isnt off, the second hands is just entering the cyclops so the other half of it looks "chopped off". SEL is not the best but i would take that.
