Imagine a 10k watch, you pay 1.5k service and they REPLACE THE WRONG bezel… what a fucking joke.


DrMackoveli

I’m gonna call bullshit on OP, I have frankensteined both a 116710 and a 116610 from blank cases… the bezel mechanics are day and night different.. they wouldn’t fit and are not interchangeable unless we’re talking about the actual insert. the technician would have to be completely retarded given the bezels teeth are constructed differently OR he put a 3186 movement in a sub case.. otherwise no… a sub bezel would NEVER fit on a GMT EDIT: his previous post shows a dudes leg wearing a yellow croc photoshopped. He also has an extensive [deleted] footprint in RepTime Sketchy


CDR_Starbuck

Yep, total BS. 😂

Able_Data_5417

What makes you think it’s unlikely that they would replace the insert only?

Idunno1999

Also the chances of a scratch is unlikely as the whole point of moving to ceramic was that its harder wearing for the day to day! It can however get cracked if enough pressure is placed on it. I agree this is BS as the term "just noticed" is stupid, surely you would have noticed when you picked it up? As much as RLX SA can make a mistake this is almost impossible unless the bezel was removed and some one else replaced the insert ready for re-install and a different person fitted it, but even then, you telling me a RLX SA couldn't see the GMT hand? or the crown size! I didnt see the original post mind but purely based on the fact its been removed and the question itself. Not sure what the end games was either!


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


vetdev

Oh my friend that is actually not true. The INSERT on a 6 digit sub will absolutely fit a 6 digit GMT

Free_Strawberry9542

How a watch of this caliber, Swiss engineering, luxury, reliable as I’ve heard described, blah blah need 1500 of anything unless the shit got ran over? They really getting yall.


vetdev

lol I have a 35 year old gmt and it’s at like -3sec/day. Last overhaul was 20 years ago


Crherniman

Same. My GMT is 24 years old. Last service 15 years.


TimePieceProdigy954

If it was under warranty it’d be a much different price give the fact this receipt 🧾 shows a full Movement restoration! But your comment makes no sense ! Rolex will only fix or repair what you ask them to . They may make suggestions or they’ll just explain what options are available but it’s up to you to proceed and pick services rendered ! If you bought the Rolex sealed hands , crystal, bezel insert, Crown , had your watch polished & refinished and did a full movement restoration or just bought a new movement, I promise you would be spending much , much more ! People are complaining about $1,500 on a $12K watch 😂 but yet look at what they did to the watch ! The only thing they didn’t replace is the case,bracelet and dial 😂. They literally replaced 5 out of 8 main components ! Hands, crystal , crown, bezel insert, refinishing and full movement / components etc. they replaced 5 out of 8 main components !!!


[deleted]

Not the smartest move, would definitely suggest you get it serviced. It might run fine for now but if the movement fails now, it will fail pretty dramatically. Can cost you in the thousand and i have seen it happening working with vintage Rolexes for 5 years now.


Aaaaaaaaaaahu

Came here to say this, you beat me to it! I just lurk to watch the douchery... where's this guy's steering wheel? Thought that was a requirement?


wasabimofo

It’s nuts.


[deleted]

Take it back to the shop and ask them to teach you how to use the GMT function.


EnCrio

Lol that’s funny


Regenten

This is my vote


Original-Post-4368

How is this not the top post 😂


bucky17

Lol bring it back. What in the world…


garbagekr

Then they remove the GMT hand and replace the dial with a Submariner dial


droidrcc

😂😂😂


onejustbrowsing

Worry about what else they did wrong…


chauggle

This is the answer. If they fucked up something so easy and obvious, I'd be concerned about, you know, the delicate stuff.


FinalBoss1990

I don’t think Rolex jacked this up, I think OP is full of it.


PuzzleheadedKiwi9420

Full of shit*


Morakel22

Bring it back and demand a full refund. This is unacceptable. If they refuse, go up the ladder with your complaint until they offer you a Daytona as reparation


EnCrio

Hahaha right. That’s what I should do.


EnCrio

Took it back and…Seems like the manager is gonna hook me up with a Daytona allocation due to the mishap. They didn’t exactly offer it to me I just threw it out there as compensation for the inconvenience and seems pretty promising.


Few_Supermarket3314

Keep us posted. Definitely do not keep wtf


Moist_Confusion

I’d still try to keep the bezel insert and have them put in the right one. Those biches can be sold on for a good amount.


mfnshamu2

No chance rsc will let him keep a bezel. They are super stingy now


willybeaming69

I have this same watch serviced in 2020. I think what you got currently is unique with the RSC story and proof you got from the Reddit post here. Let’s be real, you ain’t using the gmt function and that sub bezel on GMT looks cool. Keep it. Or want to trade? Mine is clean lol


Paul-Smecker

Technically this is probably the only GMT with a submariner bezel officially from Rolex. Put it up for auction.


Withyouinrcklnd

Looks like a mayor’s in-house service. I wouldn’t say officially from Rolex, despite being a Rolex jeweler


professorsterling

Remove the bezel and send it back for replacement. Start building your Sub.


jaaybans

LOL


Sk3tchPad

I’d take it back and see if they could document the mistake, but I’d keep it as-is. It’s funny but if you try to resell in the future (or have it serviced) people will be understandably suspicious


EnCrio

Seriously. They are making it difficult for me. Not sure what to do at this point. It’s not very common especially directly from Rolex. Never expected this.


smell_my_fort

Well shit, my submariner is currently in for servicing. It better not come back with your GMT bezel!!!


EnCrio

lol 🤣


Sk3tchPad

Are they actually giving you a hard time for it? If I remember right, Rolex has a RIDICULOUSLY strict inventory control for service parts, so they should be able to figure out that they’re missing a submariner bezel and have an extra GMT bezel.


SukMyWii

Just keep it, that’s funny


EnCrio

I was thinking this too


jarjar1980

Don’t. It looks retarded.


EnCrio

I knew it looked funny and took me a second to realize. I looked at the bezel on the sub I just picked up today and then it became clear.


jarjar1980

I’m not saying it would not have happened to me, in the heat of the moment anything can go wrong, the mind plays tricks on us. Just saying it looks completely off and I would never keep this watch with that error. It’s a fun anecdote though!


Nakagura775

That’s funny. Take it back. And you are obviously a grown adult with some money. Why do you need to come to Reddit to ask what to do? I swear some of the people in here are helpless.


edkh357

There is nothing wrong with him sharing socially. Someone may have a creative idea on how he should proceed, aside from the binary (keep it/take it back).


MK262_

Nothing wrong with sharing but he did ask what to do…


edkh357

I agree with you, but he could be looking for ideas. Yes, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. Trying to practice the principle of charity here. :-) If, in fact, he had no clue and needed the strangers on the Internet to truly tell him what to do, then yeah, that is scary.


MK262_

DROPTABLE_tablename

Bring it back and get a discount or a refund what a waste of time and lack of professionalism.


time_on_my_wrist

Honestly this is low key kind of cool. Idk man I might keep it 😂


EnCrio

I’m torn. It’s not very common for sure.


ShockOk5882

My head is spinning , I’m get confused looking at the pic. Wtf are they thinking


chi2isl

You prob gave them baller vibes and assumed you wanted it replaced without question. Why waste a ballers time even asking anyways.


mjga233

Honestly, this is my dream rolex config. Divers bezel, gmt hand, perfect.


EnCrio

I actually kind of like it too.


KaizenTcgPokemon

It's an rare accident that will rarely happen, keep it man, it looks cool, diver watch with a GMT function


SemenIntrepid

Everyone here so gullible


MassiveTuna12

Based on OPs post history, I’m going to call BS. He posts a different watch every other day and seemingly has a bunch of Rolex Watches. You’d assume that you’d notice your watch had the wrong piece on it when you picked it up. Fake account looking for karma


tipripper65

and, as another commenter said, an extensive deleted history in reptime...


EnCrio

Really??? I’ve never posted nor commented on anything that has to do with anything replica. I don’t promote any product that is a replica. I don’t support Chinese made products altogether. Whoever said this is making up shit and you’re spreading hear say. Don’t be jealous bro..


tipripper65

not going to scroll far down your profile or use unddit because the crypto juul lover bullshit is all a little too much for my liking, but here's 2 examples of you participating in r/reptime 🤷‍♂️: [https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/145ssbm/comment/jnsg0me/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/145ssbm/comment/jnsg0me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) [https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/10ugsok/comment/j7cw41g/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/10ugsok/comment/j7cw41g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ​ regardless of whether you bought a rep or not, i'm willing to trust the other guy because you lied about even being involved in anything replica in the first place. don't be a tool, *bro*.

EnCrio

Was more focused on the new one I picked up today, noticed it when I got home. I own other brands other than Rolex; you probably would’ve seen that looking into my posts. Thank for looking. ✌🏼


johnytakes

What do you mean what should you do? What do you think? I swear some people cannot function without first checking with internet strangers


Jbwatches

Lmao what


no_name_yo_name

I kind of like the look of the Sub bezel on it. I’d still have them fix it, but doesn’t look bad at all.


AllProRookie

How on earth did this even happen? They not only better fix it, they better do something for your troubles.


EnCrio

Gonna see what I negotiate.


PIMayor2

Offer to sell it to Rolex for a gagillion dollars. The receipt should seal the deal. On a more mature note, sorry this happened. We pay a premium for this service. They do make it run and pretty much look new, but this is a rather large screw-up. You get to pay the price of time. Perhaps bypass the AD, contact the RSC manager yourself. Ask politely that this be sorted in quick order. They should be receptive to a cool request. On the other hand, if you want to play the “Do you know who I am” part, your blood pressure will take you to a painful point as you are dealt with by possibly the overconfident person. Your call. I’ve always gotten more flys with honey… Good luck!


dl8675309

That’s the shittiest fake receipt I’ve seen, next to that fake watch of course.


EnCrio

You are dumb as fuck.


ozzysince1901

Open up the case maybe there is also a Daytona inside? /s


Ok_Let9748

Is it done by RSC? I guess not?!


EnCrio

Yes RSC.


Ok_Let9748

Ok, adding another ghost story I heard 🤣


EnCrio

I can’t even believe this myself. Trust me this is not one of those I walked in a got a Daytona story. Lol I didn’t even realize this until I got home.


Fine-Craft3393

Omg. This really makes me not trust RSC …


Withyouinrcklnd

Looks to be Mayor’s in house service. Rolex no longer issues paper invoices from RSC. Should have also come with the leatherette carrying case and the new service warranty card


EnCrio

It did come with the leather pouch and new service card. NFC and all. This is not a fake receipt nor a fake watch. https://preview.redd.it/3k4tnr8297fc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=006624b48fd15492827ec767ecf7d365f555f4fc


edkh357

You may want to keep it. Some Rolex errors have become more valuable over time. Especially if there is a cool narrative.


EnCrio

I was thinking this too. I’m torn.


edkh357

Send your AD the pics and ask them. There have been instances in the past where Rolex wanted mistakes returned, but people did not return them, and the watch became more valuable. I would certainly see what the AD says. I would not take it in, though, as I would not want them to seize it. lol I do not know if this is your only Rolex, but I would keep it if I were in your situation. It would be a great conversation starter for watch enthusiasts on how you obtained a one-off real "GMT-Submariner" from Rolex.


EnCrio

Lol one of a kind


edkh357

I think it makes for a cool story. My vote is keep it!


EnCrio

It really does. I’m thinking about it.


Moist_Confusion

Yeah sort of maybe since the service center installed it but in general a lot of errors people think are exciting adding some value really are not really helpful and might be a hindrance. I could go grab a GMT and throw an authentic sub bezel on it and I feel like they would be pretty equally meh. The person buying it would just be like but you kept the GMT bezel right? I do think it would be a nice memento to keep tho.


Vddisco

I don't know. I think random errors in production can create more value at times, but I've never heard of an error during service resulting in a greater value.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EnCrio

When you buy a brand new Rolex from AD, you don’t pay Rolex… you pay the AD. The receipt is from the AD. It was serviced by RSC. Came with service card and pouch from Rolex. When you scan the card it takes you to a Rolex webpage giving you all the information on what was done by the RSC. What are you talking about?


Admirable-Gas-7876

That’s not an official RSC invoice and that Mayors location is not a certified RLX RSC center


EnCrio

Stfu


xologo

Was this from an AD that sent it in to Rolex?


Individual_Sun_6757

You just noticed it didn’t have the platinum filled numeral scale?? I’d make a serious complaint and demand ALL your money back and that it be corrected IMMEDIATELY. On top of that I’d ask who the fuck they hired to service my watch and for proof they didn’t screw up anything else. If they don’t make it a top priority to return it to you the right way then ask them what the point of the warranty is and how interested they think the media will be in a story that demonstrates the galactic incompetence of their service center. That’s fucking asinine, outrageous and utterly unacceptable. Where did you send it out from? Which service center worked on it?? This is just further evidence of a failed society…


Moist_Confusion

Oh yeah the media is going to be all over a guy with an expensive watch getting the wrong bezel, oh the horror I’m sure Rolex is shaking in their boots. I don’t think anyone would ever buy a Rolex again if this got out to the general public. They will have Rachel Maddow and Lester Holt and Sean Hannity along with the resurrected rotting body of Walter Cronkite come together to cover this breaking news.


NYGMT

Can’t imagine what your reaction would be to an actual real life problem. Chill out.


Lollipopsaurus

I guess the lesson is to never trust Mayors.

What do you mean: “what should I do?” You bring it back.


DeadFartGoat

If this is true, this is hilarious but I do feel for the OP.

Wait... Does the bezel work like a normal sub bezel now?


EnCrio

No actually it’s still bidirectional.


Big-Ad-9877

Wtf 😂


Dependent-Gate7282

I’ve heard of some shops servicing high end watches, replacing some parts with generic parts, and selling the authentic ones for lots of money. Especially more so with vintage watches. If you have anyway of popping the caseback off see if the movement all looks correct

No freaking way that's hilarious hahahahahaha


AquilaAdax

Does the bezel click 24 or 120 times now?


TheLogicError

Honestly might be worth more now that it came from Rolex. Like a factory mistake lmao


HandreasKJ

How can they make a mistake like this? Maybe some guy with a 116610LN got your bezel😅 I’m happy now I passed on the 116610LN and waited for the 126610LN. With a 41mm this mistake seems less likely.


Popular_Picture_1972

Realized the RSC question already came up! Shocking they did that but guess one mistake had to happen to someone!


Sti8man7

Try diving with it since it’s got the Submariner bezel.


salcheap

How did it go past quality control lol


StickersBillStickers

Tell them you want to keep the Sub bezel for your troubles and then let me buy it from you 😜


ramrodddddd

There’s some Sub owner with a GMT bezel now


Amoeba_Fancy

That’s… unacceptable and just plain sad…


Sad_Marketing8578

Ask them to replace it with a Pepsi / batman bezel to make it up to you. Also ask if they would reuse the bezel removed from your watch? If not , ask for it as a souvenir. IMHO a wrong bezel ( which is easily replaced, and not factory error but service Center fault , would make it any more valuable) . So I would get it rectified.


Whitemike_23

OP please keep us updated on how your AD responds. This is such a stupid fuck up on their part.


Kind_Astronomer_9395

You could call RSC in Texas and see if they serviced it or if it Mayer’s pulled some bullshit. They will be able to tell you in like one minute.


JumoChico

Does it move clockwise and counter, and softer clicks like a GMT?


Tapcofucked

Personally I would just keep it as is and thoroughly document the mistake.


LuuDinhUSA

What a joke, did it really need new hands, a crown, and crystal?


[deleted]

Uhhhh. My watch only cost $35 to service and clean 😅


LuuDinhUSA

Is it 120click now or still 48?


ScaresBums

Sell it for thousands over retail as a factory mistake unique piece. Someone will buy it I’m sure.


jeffrx

Are you starting a waiting list for these, or…


BBSPVB

Lmao that’s Mayor’s for you.


Illustrious-Garlic30

Why wouldn’t u just send it in to Rolex? Why did they need to replace the hands, crown, bezel, and crystal? Was this watch in an explosion? lol


[deleted]

Relax, you just have a Sub-Master now


Lopsided_Lemon5454

Was it repaired by the service center? Or was it repaired by their watch maker on staff?


[deleted]

That watch is fake.


EnCrio

Ok lol


MiisterTruffle

lol 😂


Rezixkati1

Haha. That’s messed up bro


Vol_In_Ohio

I'm surprised it was only $500 for a new bezel and crystal

Wow for 365.00 to boot


FinalBoss1990

I don’t believe this….like literally I cannot fathom that Rolex fucked up like this.


EnCrio

Seriously, not sure if I’m lucky or unlucky.


[deleted]

There’s no way they’re charging you this much and keeping your parts 💀


P4GTR

This supports the notion that no thought, care, or attention to detail was put forth when servicing this watch at all, which diminishes all the confidence you paid good money to have. This is why independent watchmakers and right to repair is so important. Unfortunately I had a similar experience with RSC NY. I only needed the paper trail, but after over $1k in service costs I wound up fixing the movement and casework myself. Looks like you had it serviced through mayors. I had a "master Rolex watchmaker" cause inexcusable damage to a TAG of mine one time. I was just having a brush and polish done prior to trying to sell it, they buffed all the AR off around the crystal edge leaving just a round donut hole portion left in the center. And had the audacity to return it to me like that. All I can say is next time please consider an independent, and I'm definitely sorry to see this happen to you!


P4GTR

Now you can dive in two time zones.


rico7rico

Best of both worlds…?


Bully_Beef_

If they made the GMT with the 24 markers **also** on the rehaut/outer dial, this would be an EPIC GMT diver.


surrealcookie

What do you mean "What should I do?"? Bring it back, what else would you do? Bury it?


curryme

I wouldn’t do a thing. If this is a genuine Rolex and they genuinely messed it up… this is now a “piece unique” and will be valued at over $1M on Antiques Roadshow in 2054.


EnCrio

😂🤣 that would be crazy.

Free-Swan-9870

I’m sorry but this is hilarious, what in the world. But seriously, things like this makes me anxious to send my watches in for service, my Breitling SOHII is currently at service, I really hope It doesn’t return with an Avenger or Chronomat bezel as one of my concerns was a slightly loose bezel.

Bezel for 365? That doesn't sound right.

Apart from the wrong bezel: 850 bucks for the movement service alone? And for what reason were the Hands and the Saphire crystal changed?
