Has anybody here used Russell Talerman - http://www.russelltalerman.com/index.php ?
My watch needs a service and they seem to be quicker and cheaper than Rolex UK.

I was in the same dilemma ad I had also broken the winder due to a shock from chopping wood with mine on my wrist!
I used Watch Doctors and they fixed, serviced, replaced various parts (with genuine Rolex) and polished it back to new all for £169 which I thought was pretty good.
Back from being away on busienss and looking at it this morning it looked like it did 10 years ago

I'm sure your guy is very good but is he Rolex authorised/qualified?

Yes he is fully Rolex certified. His reputation on the south coast is enviable, having worked for the top dealers in the south. He is a contract worker now of whom we are associated. Just drop me a line for more info.

Eddie If your guy is certified Rolex, competitive priced and turning the work around quickly I should advertise the fact. I shopped around as I was quoted £600 and 3 months to get my day\date serviced by Goldsmiths. I ended up paying £384 (including VAT) and the watch was done in 3 weeks.Eddie
If you can do better - SHOUT ABOUT IT !!

Therefore would a certified Rolex expert fall into this situation or would they still be able to get hold of service parts, bezels, faces etc if required?
Thoughts gratefully appreciated as I would happily deliver the watch to a recommended person to get the "right" service.
Sorry ive not posted earlier. Right, seeing as its been asked for i think i'll shout a little. Heres a couple of example prices (please do contact me for more specific / PH rate prices)
Rolex service (regular service as per the book) - £300 + vat
Saph Glass for Sub or equiv - £150 + Vat fitted
All services include a refurb of strap and case (worn pins can also be replaced at a small cost). Daytona and other 'Sport' models can be serviced as per above but Rolex do not allow the distribution of additional parts outside the main / central workshops. Service items are ok but if you need anything beyond that the watch will have to go direct to Rolex. Other marques are catered for, just ask and i'll respond.
Edited: Average service turnaround is 5 to 10 working days.

Hi guys
I have just purchased a 1985 Sub 16800 which was authenticated and completely overhauled by Rolex uk changing the crystal hands and dial as part of the service. This was carried out in FEB 2008. When in the future should I be looking to have another service, obviously not needing the dial etc again

My Rolex arrived today by post, back from it's service at Russell Talerman.
The good bits: it looks as good as it's done when its been at Rolex ie like brand new (its 25 years old) plus it was very reasonable- over £100 cheaper than if Rolex had carried out the work.
The Bad bit (oh dear): their customer service is appalling.
No call to say it had arrived in the post (yes it was sent recorded etc so I could see it had been signed for by "someone" but it would have been nice to get a call saying yes it's arrived and it will take "x" weeks).
The original estimate for the work was 3 weeks.
After 4 weeks no call so I called them.
it was promised in 1 weeks time,
Two weeks later I'd still had no phone call so I had to call them to find out what was happening and it was ready but no one had contacted me to tell me and take payment.
It's a small thing but is it to much to expect a phone call to keep me in the picture?
So- no complaints with the work or the price but I'm not sure I could recommend them to a friend.
