Audemars Piguet Water Resistance
Hi all. I popped by the Audemars Piguet boutique today to get a new strap for my beloved AP. I decided to get a complimentary water-resistance test since it doesn't take more than 5 minutes. To my shock and disappointment, my AP ROO ref 26400SO, which was barely 3 month old from an Official AD, did not pass the test. They told me that I should send it in for a service, and anything done to the watch would be FOC as it is under warranty.However, after blowing $46,800 Singapore Dollars on a watch, should I not be expecting quality control better than this? I am frankly a bit upset that this is an issue, and I now have to send it back to AP for 6-8 weeks. Has anyone ever experienced this? What do you guys think about this lack of QC? Is it something that I have a right to be upset about? We are talking about a 3-4 month old watch purchased in July. I need some advice!!

I am having a problem with my new Diver......
.......I can't seem to put on any of my other watches And I really, really like the rest of my collection. There is just something very special about this one

Advice Needed: Omega Ploprof 1200M needs service
Sad to find that my Omega Ploprof 1200M which just passed the warranty period by a few months will need service. When adjusting the hour hand to change the date, it feels loose and does not reach the next hour in a definitive manner. Also, when changing the minute hands the hour hand would change correctly until reaching the 9 o'clock then the hour hand would get stuck. Anyone knows what might be wrong? Also, do you recommend omega service center or prefers a local watch shop in Houston, Texas? Also, any insight into what this would probably cost would help as well. I'm thinking about bringing it to the Omega boutique here in Houston but wanted to reach out to my fellow TRFers before doing so. Any advice or things for me to consider will be much appreaciated. Thanks.

Addressing Rolex " Under the Radar "
I have seen time and again folks looking for luxury watches in fine dress and sports models with one criteria in mind ... Under the Radar Ok, what does that mean ? You want to be incognito, discreet, modest,unnoticeable, blend in with the crowd, humble,ordinary, moderate, subtle, inconspicuous, understated, unobtrusive, low-key, subdued look,restrained look, prudent, stealth, undercover, covertand or surreptitious ... etc... Ok on and on you get the picture !!! Please forgive me if I've missed an adjective that fits your criteria... I tried to encompass most !!!My point is , if you want a Rolex ... If you want to wear a Rolex... All this mumbo jumbo stealth under the radar stuff actually flies out the window!!! Why ???Wear a Timex, Swatch or Casio if you want under the radar stealth opps!!! Rolex is not under the Radar no matter how much you psych your mind or want it to be ... Yes white gold or SS is less blingy but still Rolex!That said, most people don't even give a hoot about you
