WatchLove91 0 Posted April 10, 2017 Hi guys I'm a first time buyer and I have a question or two. Since I'm not allowed to post QC photos (I just received them), I just want to describe one of the things that's caught my attention. Is the pearl insert at the top supposed to touch all 3 sides of the triangle? Mine crosses the line on the left and right side of the triangle but doesnt seem to get there at the top of the triangle. Is that normal? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdog 1 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) It should be centered and not crossing the lines. Edited April 10, 2017 by jdog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lrnz 1 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) It should be like this https://www.bernardwatch.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Rolex-Steel-Sub-Comparisson-2.jpg l it might just be the angle of the photo though Edited April 10, 2017 by LorenzoM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,501 Posted April 10, 2017 If it is centered (and not too on the left or too on the right) then it's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact there's a space between the circle and the base of the triangle at the top. I looked at a million gen submariner pics and they seem to be all over the place haha. Most of them actually don't seem to be touching the top either unlike your photo 0.0 Edited April 10, 2017 by WatchLove91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 10, 2017 It's worth bearing in mind that there's some variation on pearl position even with the gens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted April 10, 2017 It's worth bearing in mind that there's some variation on pearl position even with the gens... Wow I didn't know that Most are as they should be - and variation is usually minor, but it does happen occasionally. One I saw in a nearby Rolex AD a couple years back was so far off-centre that I'm sure anyone here would reject the QC pics even if it had been a cheapie 21J rep! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely they weren't able to sell that? Isn't Rolexes whole ideal is that everything is perfect? If it were like that on a QC, I would definitely reject it.

If the buyer is dumb enough to take it, even an AD will sell to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AD hadn't even noticed when I pointed it out to them. I suspect a lot of Rolex buyers really don't care - they're just buying the brand because of what they think it says about them and don't really care about watches per se... It's like that idiot I follow along local roads from time to time - he's driving a 911 like it was a Nissan Micra with a bust engine. Bought it because he figured it would make him look cool. It might if he knew how to drive the thing ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
