A sad endictment of the declining standards at Rolex; they have sent it back to you the wrong way round. The crown should point towards your hand.nice job though, looks like a new one. Is that always what they do or can you request that they retain 'patina'?

Yes you can ask for a service but no polish. It's usually the sensible option as too much polishing dulls the sharpness of the case lines and lugs. I also think that a Rolex with patina is a fine thing. nice job though, looks like a new one. Is that always what they do or can you request that they retain 'patina'?

I retained the original handset and dial, had a full service and polish, replaced the bezel insert for a new one but i have retained the original as it is nicely faded, and replaced the original jubilee bracelet for an oyster.
Below pic is how I bought it -

If you don't mind me asking, How much was the Rolex service? Thanks
The service and polish on the watch was £505 inc VAT. For this they also replace 'consumables' such as all the seals, springbars etc. There were additional charges for the elements I had requested replacing - the crystal, the bezel and bezel insert, and the oyster bracelet.bunglesprout said:
