Poorly datejust, recomend me a watchdoctor

[Cooky]

My old datejust is rather unwell, the crown will not stay screwed down and the date wheel will not advance. the hands still turn and incredibly it still keeps time very well for an old snotter. The crystal needs replacing and maybe a new jubilee band is due (the 14k aftermarket is old tired and well stretched)

Also the dial could do with a relume and the movement would benefit from a service and vacuum seal too.

Any suggestions for a trusted watchdoc instead of those robbing AD's?





sorry for the poor pic my Nokia is certainly no Nikon

Give it in to the Rolex Service Centre at Bexley.
Deal with them direct, cutting out the AD.

Your watch will come back looking as it should.
It's a shame to see a DJ looking as tired as yours is.

You could try these guys http://www.watchdoctors.co.uk/

They are Rolex certfied and I have used them in the last year to repair and refurb my S/S Daytona and a friend and his wife's Date Justs, and they did a fantastic job with a very quick turn around of all the watches, in fact they looked like new when they were picked up.

Probably the worst photo in the world.
Well done.

Almost right JAGS. The price is the same to return the watch direct or via an AD. Rolex Bexley shut a while ago and re-sited at Kings Hill, here are the contact details.

Be prepared for a hearty bill and a long wait. Alternatively, you could try an independent BHI accredited watchmaker see here..

I stand corrected. Apologies.

Didn't know Bexley had closed.

Almost right Dom. The BHI bit doesn't really mean anything unless they are Rolex accredited too
