Rolex Service in London

[Cheib]

My SS Daytona is overdue a service.....in the past I have gone with an independent once and the official Rolex service on another occasion....I may have been unlucky with the former but the genuine service was much better if eye wateringly expensive.

Can anyone one recommend an independent that does a good job ? The movement needs a service and also the bracelet is scratched and could do with a polish etc.

Any Rolex accredited independent has to charge Rolex prices, all part of the 'control'.

These guys do great work http://www.superlativetime.com/

AKA Rolex Service Cartel.

Will give them a try...I assume they are quicker than going to Rolex themselves.

Eyal Shocker 07816634920. Tell Eric sent you.
He restored my 50 year old Breguet and did an amazing job.

He serviced family member Rolex as well.

Very nice guy to boot.

I'm curious; what will happen when he mentions your name?

I also think it's high time we saw your Type XX again please

Dominic H just sold me a watch that he'd had serviced by Rolex. It was away one month. Not too bad really.

If that's what the Rolex timescale is I might try them then.

I tries Superlative twice today....not picking up the phone and no reply to e-mails! Work looks good but I get nervous when nobody answers the phone!

I'm surprised that Rolex turned it around in one month, in my experience it's more like 8-10 weeks.....

They are reformed characters. Mind you, unless my watch starts keeping something like good time soon they are likely to have the opportunity of seeing it again.

Just had my wife"s Rolex serviced and it took 11 weeks

Had my sub non date 14 years , never been serviced yet.

Maybe you're more important than me?

I think that goes without saying. Have you considered calling Rolex and pretending you are me?

Morning 11, hoping the watch is improving, call me if not.

To add to the discussion, this was one of two that were left with Rolex St James. Both watches were serviced and ready for collection exactly 4 weeks later. The new facility at Kings Hill, Kent has allowed Rolex to operate a far more effective, prompt service...

Is this a Rolex office or a retail store? I used to work round the corner from there...can't think of a Rolex shop near there. I know there was/is one on Bond St.

"Hi Rolex, I'm Eleven"
"Shouldn't you be at school?"

It is the Rolex UK head office that includes a walk in service centre to drop off/pick up your watch for a service but they also do while you wait adjustments on the bracelet etc. It is on the corner of St James and King St, pretty non descript building with the Rolex logo above the door but you could quite easily walk past and miss it.

"No, it's Easter holidays now service by fking watch and make it snappy"

That should do it.

Great, I'll drop it in there then.
