Rolex Service

[BigJonMcQuimm]

Just got my SS white Zenith Daytona back from service.

Wow is all I can say.

The watch went in barely working and heavily marked and has come out brand new.

A very pleased customer!

some photos of it please.

[BigJonMcQuimm]

Really hard to get photos with my crummy 4S.

My experience too; Oyster perpetual came back as new! I acknowledge some will say patina is important, and I agree to a degree, but getting it back looking new is also very nice.

How much does a service cost?

+1...would be interested to know!? Ty

650 *sob*

It took 3 months and there was not a day I did not miss it.

I have worn it for 7 years every day.

Alas skydiving took its toll and it eventually stopped working at all. It started with the second hand causing bad time loss.

Despite regular cleaning I was unable to get the bracelet and face looking like new.

Quite agree.

I was recently quoted £440 by my local AD for servicing a Submariner or GMT

Complete overhaul (new clasp and glass) & full service by Rolex in 2010 cost me £408.

Cost all depends on which model though

Should have got a Omega Speedmaster perhaps!!

After my Rolex service it was looking brand new.

The only thing pissed me off was I had name engraved on the back, and they had all but polished it out. Would have thought they would have noticed it and not buffed it so much.

Yep, £430 for the Rolex service. Mine had stopped working and although was in good oredr it did come back looking like new so well worth the outlay, took 9 weeks. Never got to find out why it stopped working though.

Are you sure it went back to Rolex, they're usually pretty careful about stuff like that.

Well it went to the official Rolex dealer in Aberdeen, whom I would think would only send watches to the official repair shop in UK.
