116610LV should I bring in RSC?

option 1 : post online n sell it, buy back a brand new Hulk ! ( 1 month old i don't think u going to loose tat much )

option 2 : take photo n send to RSC to blow away the dust. tell them to take good care your brand new watch, if i found any hairline scratch.. I going to kick your ass.

option 3 : suck thumb n move on ! Life go on.. Don't Blame Yourself, this show u really take good care your watches well.

maybe i'm childish. but this is wat i can think of.

I had a sub with a speck of dust too. Brought it to Rsc and they made it worse. The dust was gone but came back with water stains in the glass. Send back again to remove the stains. Stains gone but came back with hairline scratch marks on the inside glass. Give up.

Verdict: just leave it best.

You are not kidding me???? OMG... this is what I really do not want to hear... So in the end did they manage to compensate you?

Dust is unacceptable for a quality brand like rolex, as the greatest enemies of a watch movement, apart from moisture, is dust
I would get it fixed but as some mentioned, once the case is opened, watch is no longer "factory condition"
Movement would be handled, dismantled, reassembled
Seals might be broken and replaced
Scratches might be introduced
Etc etc

If you could live with the dust, try not to get it fixed
If u r particular, get it fixed but know what you would risk

Whao.... I think I just leave it alone for now.

If it was me, i would try to ignore the dust specks. Afterall they are just...dust specks. Of course, if it was some tarnishing of the hands, or some black spots on lume etc etc, i would have given RSC an earful.

The reason that steers me towards NOT having RSC perform any checks or maintenance (unless it's for for regular servicing intervals or if the watch really starts becoming problematic), is because i am absolutely paranoid about the loss of the vacuum within the case once it is opened up, esp in a brand new piece. Unless RSC re-vacuums the case before sealing it up again, this will surely attract more dust specks entering the case. Then again, who can prove that they actually re-vacuum the case?

After all the flak i hear about QC at RSC, i would have to think very hard before i decide to send the watch in. Is it really justified? Or will i risk more problems after it is "serviced"? For dust specks, i wouldn't. Watch may come back with scratches on the bracelet etc etc. If the problem is more to do with accuracy issues or obvious blemishes, then my threshold for tolerating these post-servicing problems is higher.

Well said bro, I am trying to take a macro shot on my Sub and post here.

Dust only, for me i will leave it. No risk

Next time I buy another rolex, I would definitely bring along my 10x loupe. I am not kidding.

Same situation as you but with different brand. It bugged me for almost 2 week and in the end, I decided to go ahead to the service centre to remove the dust.

After removing the dust particle, new feeling phase in. That is the feeling of my watch is no longer brand new and someone has meddle with it.

It is like "you gain some but loose some" kind of feeling.

I just gotten this brand new lovely piece 1 month ago... from Local AD.

I was admiring it using my 10x loupe, bad idea.... I noticed two dust speck.

Very small, can only see in 12pm sunlight catching the light. Under normal lighting can't see.

So now, I am in dilemma, should I forget it and service it later... or should I bring it in now? I am so disappointed with Rolex.... this almost cost me $12000!! and I really don't expect a single dust... really must bring along my loupe next time I buy another one.

Is a mistake to look thru my loupe. Now i know it is there, and it is bugging me !!!

Sending in is not issue, but I am also worried that the watch is new and once opened, all the seal will be broken... one more thing, RSC might introduce more dust after removing the 2 dust speck... I heard very scary story too!!!! ARRGGGGG!!!!!!! Why like this, so unlucky!!!!!! I really didn't expect Rolex quality is like this ****ty.

Aiyo... There is always risk involved lah.. If ken a more dust than ask them to clean immediately. But after the dust will something else happens? Touchwood... Do whatever to make yourself happier lah else you won't be sleep well.

Dont think service centers can be better than the factory in terms of equipment, skill and environment

Well.... What to do? I need to send it in and hope for the best. Now the sub is still accurate so I leave it alone. Luckily it is just a SS Sub. If it is platinum I would throw a big fuss at RSC.

[euhhue]

Hmm.. was at RSC before.. definitely not a clean room environment, so technically, will be very difficult for them to keep dust out of the watch?

[DQ123]

I will send it to remove the dust if its bugging me and i can spare the time. I had sent in watches to regulate time only when its off cosc specs under warranty. Didnt see the free scratches thought.

No experience for dust in rolex. I did sent in a Ball for dust in dial. Takes less than 30 mins for them to pop open n blow away.

But I doubt RSC will be that fast.

Thanks for the advice. I really need think about it. Let's see the time is less accurate then maybe I will bring it in for regulation and dust remove.
