So misc, how fussy are you with new watches? My new one has a very slight scratch on the base of the chapter ring at about the 12 o'clock position. You can't tell unless you are really looking for it, but now that I have noticed it I think it will bug me. The only problem is, even if the company agrees to fix it, I dont know if I really want to ship it all the way back to Germany and back again (Im in Oz).

Done with the panerai. Looking at the reverso duo with a white and black dial. Pelagos is one of my all time favorite divers, that I never picked up for some reason. I like it more than the sub. The awesome lume, titanium, awesome clasp, everything is great. Don't even mind the novel on the dial now. Can't wait for it.

It is a lovely watch with an awesome wrist presence, so I'd still say get it.

Little bit late to the new thread, 3 weeks of camping with the scouts. Only one wristshot cuz my phone battery was down 24/7
Bought a goldplated Kienzle ladies handwinder in germany at a flea market for 5€ original plan was to dissasemmble/reassemble but turns out movement as to come out through the front so now I have to improvise. Also found an old ass table clock from my grandfather's parents with an open mechanism and balance wheel regulator. Now to catch up on 3 weeks of the dink.

Now I have it down to these two:
Rolex Submariner 116613 LN two tone 18k
or Rolex 41mm Datejust II 116334 Grey Diamond
Both should be around $10k or so if I get lucky. Any input or opinions, fellas? Thanks.
Going to be my first Rolex and first luxury watch. I can finally spare an extra $10k for a beautiful starter watch.

TBH, new is new.
You didn't pay for a scratched watch so you shouldnt expect one, if it was decently expensive then it's indicative of a failure in the quality control and im sure they'd want to know about it anyway.

at 10K you can also take a look at some 2nd Hand AP's or a new Omega DSOTM or GSOTM Both under 9k. Also worth taking a look.

Its on the chapter ring that vertically connects the dial to the bezel/sapphire (not sure if that is techincally accurate, but thats what it looks like).
Unless you turn the watch to view it almost side on and are looking for it, you wont see it. Certainly never when looking at the time, it just bugged me when i noticed it, and wasnt really happy with how the customer service department was responding. I am not going to send it back though, it isn't noticeable and I am happy with the watch. Pics to follow.

Ok so here are the pics. First is the zoomed pic on the angle obviously. The other gunk is just dust / reflection. Apart from the scratch on the chapter ring at approx 12 o'clock it is otherwise pristine. Other pics for reference in everyday scenario.
And cleaned up a little.

Still making up my mind, but after the email exchanges I had I don't I want to send it back to the manufacturer anyway.
