the watch case under certain light got wavy line after their polishing work, i never really bother about it. but now something so new i never encounter before. i will see them most likely this thursday. i hate imperfection in my watch especially when they just did a complete overhaul. totally unacceptable.

i can understand how u feel.
Watch to me is a very close object that will be worn on my wrist,so i also cant stand any imperfection.
It can get very annoying and frustrating when u see any flaws on it.

Need help! Just got my sub 16610 fully overhauled at rsc, recently when i want to press on the crown in trying to catch the thread when trying to lock the crown i heard some clicking sound, something like faint "tick tick tick" sound, is it normal?

In the early years, watchmakers used mainly tritium to build the hands and hour markers so that they illuminate. This chemical was later found to be hazardous and cancer-causing (not really for watch enthusiasts but the watchmakers and whoever had to deal with this readioactive material in large quantities in the factories). So what you see turned yellowish were the older watches, especially those that used tritium. It is indicated with a designation at the bottom of the dial (i.e. T SWISS T or SWISS T < 25).

In later years (around late '90s), tritium was replaced with luminova (an organic, non-radioactive chemical) as their source of luminescence. So, those that didn't turn yellowish should be on luminova. There's more information on this you can google for to read up on.

Hey sub supporters, i was wondering if anyone can helP to solve the question i have. I noticed from photos that the luminant circles and triangles on the dial of older subs (like those in the 90's n before) seems abit yellowish compare to the sub nowadays.

Is it because it turned yellowish over the time n we should expect that our rolexes bought after 2000 to turn yellowish too maybe 10-20 years later?

[Resurge]

I was about to ask the same question too...
Heard that rolex price has increased now....
any recent buyer wanna share price info??
thx

Yesh, Rolex increased their price bout 3months ago.
