Have you seen this error?

Got this from AD and found this a little white dot which shouldn’t be there. What do you say? Should I love it or fix it?

Looks like a chip. At that price I would ask for it to be fixed. Or replaced.

You may want to follow with the AD and have them send in a pic to Rolex themselves to verify the faux-pas but if that is in fact an error from the Rolex factory then DO NOT REPLACE IT! Rolex is known for its attention to detail, and very well-made mass-produced timepieces. So, whenever something goes wrong, a faux paus such as that can drive up the value of that watch among Rolex collectors. That is why tropical dials are worth much more than a pristine non-oxidized dial for example.

In fact, Adrian Barker just highlighted another curious instance of something off with a new Rolex Explorer. Check it out for a point of reference:

p.s. now we just need to nickname this particular faux paus. I deem thee the Rolex Submariner "Hanging Chad" dial.

I see your point of view. Thank you so much for your comment and suggestion of the nickname. You are Amazing.!🙏👍
