Re: It sounds Authentic and Recent
In Response To: It sounds Authentic and Recent ()

: purchased it new from an Authorized Dealer,

I did not buy it from authorized dealer, that is why I had question on how authentic it is. I certainly learned my lesson now. I should have came to this website earlier.

I went to an authorized dealer, they could not conclude that this is a fake but complained that the screw-in crown is a bit higher then their watch after screwed in. I think this might be a returned unit with some new parts or old parts. It has a serial number of 80268918.

My dealer claimed they will repair and clean the watch for the life time of the watch, I hope they honor their words. I will be back to US in 2 weeks and will see how it goes.
Replacement is probably not possible because they don't have other watch of this kind. I was thinking about adding some more money to get other watch but I do like this watch if it is not defective.
1. I like to know is there anything bad about a watch's speed being adjusted? Is it something very hard to do? Such that I should be thinking about having an authorized dealer to do it?
2. Why the white dial GMT is priced higher? I notice my black dial seems to show more reflection of the light. Is that why?

Thanks.
