Quality Issues on new 15400??
Hi all,I bought my 15400OR new last month from a trusted source here and have had some issues with it. Nothing major but definitely something unexpected. 1. I had 2 of the octagonal screws come very loose. I had the tools at home to tighten all of them down where I noticed 2 more were starting to come loose. 2. I was wearing the watch yesterday, and the bar that holds my clasp almost fell out. I noticed the little screw to hold the bar and clasp in place had fallen out. Is this normal? I'm glad the bar didn't slide out completely where my watch would of fallen off my wrist. Who knows what could of happened then. I am hoping the AP Boutique in Beverly Hills can insert the RG screw on site and tighten everything else up.

Maybe the Root Beer was the Coke that never was
I know there has been other members including myself that at first glance thought that the new Root Beer Bezel looked like a Coke. What if just maybe this was Rolex's best attempt at making a Coke bezel or what if the red/black combo in ceramic is not possible? Traditionally the Root Beer was been a Gold and Brown bezel or solid brown bezel. We know how difficult it is with developing colors on the monoblock single piece ceramic bezel. For instance, the best Rolex could develop the Pepsi was the cranberry/grape color. I have also read that only 1 out of 10 Pepsi bezels are used for it's watches since the process is so difficult. So maybe the root beer bezel was Rolex best attempt at the Red/Black combination but salvaged the bezel by turning it into the root beer.

A Colorful Duo
I recently picked up an LVC to go along with my BLNR. Who knew all this color would be so much fun?! Which one do you prefer?
