The Rolex Defect You've Never Seen Before | Watchfinder & Co.

Mistakes happen, it’s a fact of life. When you’re Rolex, however, making some of the very best watches in the world, they don’t happen very often. But they do still occur from time to time, and this one—it’s a doozy.

Rolex makes mistake

Watch price doubles.

I like to imagine somewhere out there is a Rolex with two 3’s

[anandhua.b]

The watch in the thumbnail was a Rolex explorer Minecraft edition truly a one of a kind piece

[benjameshodges]

I got 99 problems but a 3 ain't one.

I'm sure more people would find the defect quicker if you didn't use a different watch for the first half and then only give them 8 seconds to find it once you switched.

Big Smoke's Cluckin Bell order lmao "I'll have 2 number 9's"

[Statutum]

Remember everyone, when wearing this watch, make you sure you are "dressed to the nines"!

[WolfeandcoArchive]

4:02 for the defect. You're welcome.

The narrator manages to turn a simple mistake into a work of art in video

[bobcortez]

I can see it now, "Rolex "Double 9" sells for $1m at auction"....

Don't have Rolex service the watch they will swap the dial. Sell it to a gambler for a huge markup that loves pocket 9's.

"Mistakes happen,
it's a fact of life"
Sounds like he's talking about me.

[RyTyme]

I would rather have this than a non defect model.

[stephensr]

Its Rolex laying Easter eggs for collectors to find. Obviously done on purpose to increase brand and model hype.

The only human touch from a watchmaker is applying the hands. The fact the mistake was not spotted over the the many checks afterwards doesn't ring true. More likely the Air kings not selling well and could do with a light push from their marketing team

Always a great day when watchfinder puts out another video

[HigherPlanes]

There's an even more monumental mistake that no one noticed at 5:36. The rolex on the right was built upside down!

[vinht]

I has three 9s...lol. Someone just put it upside down at the 6 o'clock 😊

[diegotorrella]

Yes nice, but at the beginning of the video you showed a correct one.
You made me think i was blind all the time.
You almost fooled me.
Almost.

[Heartagram]

99 is a rubbish nick name. Rare-King is far better.

[nickkonig]

This could wind up being the most expensive Rolex in history. Just like those old stamps with the airplane up-side-down. To say this is one in a million is probably actually an understatement. What an absolutely awesome piece to have in ones collection.
