Never thought I would see the day...
Where a respected seller in TRF classifieds would refer to an Omega SeaMaster Professional ref# 2254.50 as rare but I kinda guess they have become so. Don't see many for sale like a few years ago and finding one in mint condition is becoming quite the rare sighting indeed.

RSC Hides Behind a Loophole
My wife's 9 month old DJ is losing 30 seconds a day. I took it to the NYC RSC and was delivered a complete shock. They told me the watch was damaged and couldn't be regulated. I would need to pay $400 for the service (discounted from $500+ because it is under warranty) plus another $130 for a new crown. This watch was NOT banged or dropped. My wife doesn't partake in activities or a lifestyle that would cause this. But RSC told me the evidence was there. One of the dots beneath the coronet on the crown was slightly flattened. Therefore, the crown was damaged and so was the timing mechanism. I can't tell you how upset I am. Has anyone had a similar experience with RSC? What did you do? Were you able to get Rolex to fix it without an astronomical cost.?Rolex touts themselves makers of these durable, tough-as-nails watches, yet this doesn't seem to be the case. It seems RSC was looking for a loophole and found one. Picture attached, although not the best quality. Plus, this flattened dot

Service / warranty card question
Ok, so I dropped off my P series 111 this evening at a local AD, after noticing condensation / fog under the crystal after swimming on vacation several days ago. The AD was skeptical that my name didn't match the cards name. She is sending it in, and gave me no trouble, but admitted she was concerned that might be an issue for me. So, this shouldn't be an issue from what I understand from reading past posts of this nature here. But has it been for anybody?Thanks
