Dear All,
This is my first posting on this forum which I have found to be most helpful.
My wife bought me a SS Sub C from an AD when she was in Switzerland recently. Understandably, I was most excited to get the watch as I had been longing for this model since it was launched and getting it from Switzerland was simply an added bonus. However, my initial joy quickly turned to disappointment when I began to adjust the date for the first time. There were a couple of things which I felt were not right.
1. The dates between 10 and 19 were sitting way left in the aperture. The 20s and single digits however, were ok when viewed from far but still slightly to the left of centre when examined closely.
2. The magnification on the date was also much smaller when I compared it to my TT Sub C.
I took the watch to the RSC in KL a couple of days ago. My first concern was that my wife might have bought a fake but was relieved to learn the watch is indeed genuine. They acknowledged the problem but what disappointed me most was when the Ah Soh tried to convince me that this was normal and ok. She even brought out a datejust to prove her case. She kept silent when I pointed out that the problem there was nowhere as serious as mine and that the magnification alone was already obvious.
Geez! We are talking Rolex here and she's telling me it's nomal!!! I'm sure one wouldn't even see such things on a Casio or a Seiko and she's hinting me to live with it? Anyways, I insisted they fix the problem. Should get it back next week.
What I would like to know is whether anyone has encountered a similar problem with the date and how should I pursue this if they don't fix it? Appreciate the help.
