Rolex probleme, HELP!

[Tommie85]

Erst woll ich mich entschuldigen fur meines slechtes Deutsch. Trotzdem ich in der nahe von Deutschland wohn ist mein Deutsch slecht.

Darum mach ich das hier in Englisch weiter, er gibt zu viel Worten die ich niet in Deutsch kennte.

Yesterdag i was having a dinner, and suddently noticed that my glas was dirty.
After whiping it off, it still saw a matte collored part on the dial. I ran from the 4 hour marker to the 8 a clock marker.
It is very hard to notice in normal light, but in candlelight it is very visible.
The watch had a complete make over in Februari by Wempe, but i dont know if this will covered by warranty because i didnt do the service myself.
And if it is covered by warranty i dont think i would get a Tritium dial back, and that was the sole reason to buy a non-M for me.

Maybe you guys can help me out, by telling me what this is.

May humity in the watch - let it check and repair a.s.a.p.

und fürs Deutsch Training:

Könnte Feuchtigkeit in der Uhr sein - lass sie schnellst möglich prüfen und reparieren.

Let the watch check at your Rolex AD.
There could be water inside!

Since i have the watch (couple of weeks) it hasnt been near to water........

And when i wear the watch in hot weather the glas dont condensate. When there is water in the watch, it should do that..

[Tommie85]

Nobody else....

Nevertheless, let check the watch by are dealer. There is also humidity in our normal air.
The symptoms at your picture looks like fluid in the watch.

Your English isn't really much better than your German but so be it.

If vapour condensates on the crystal and the watch has not been exposed to water for weeks, then logic tells us that the water / vapour has been enclosed in the watch for a prolonged time. That is something to worry about and discussing it here won't solve the problem. Have the watch opened and dried up immediately before more serious damage occurs.

You are absolutely right.

By the way: whether you like it or not, if there has been condensation occuring inside this watch case, the stains on the dial will most likely be permanent and not removable.
After you had your watch cleaned and dried - that´s if there really is condensation inside it - you can either live with the stains on the dial or have it replaced by, I dare to say it, a new dial with Super-Luminova markers.

(In general I can say, that in any case where I came across dials with stains like the ones on your dial, water penetration had occured somewhen in the past. Maybe the watch still is waterproof after the Service at Wempe and you just did not notce the stains before meaning that they have been there before the service and the former owner didn´t bother to have the dial changed.)


In any case, I would take the watch to an authorized Rolex distributor and have it checked.

Hope my opinion will help you at least a little bit.

Best regards,
Oliver

Thanks guys.
I will go to an AD, and have them checked out.

Here is a pic of my watch when you look at it under normal circumstances.

Ganz klar Freuchtigkeit. Musst die Uhr zum Trockenlegen bringen und ggf. ein neues Zifferblatt kaufen, wenn dich die Wasserflecken stören.

Now I really think, that you just did not notice these stains before and that the simple explanaition for all this is that the dial just was not changed by Wempe during service!

Dichtungen sind auch bei einer Rolex Verschleissteile...
