GMT II Service Price / Turnround Time
Discussion
A service from Rolex is no quick process, but it does come back with the full works being done and the ticket to prove it should you be concerned about resale.
If you're planning on keeping it id say however that a good watchmaker with Rolex parts available to him is a better, quicker and cheaper option.

Funnily enough, I dropped a 16710 GMT-Master II into Rolex St James on Thursday. The charge for a full service, which includes a full case/bracelet re-finish is £430 and they estimate to have the watch ready in 4-5 weeks.
The Rolex service is still the yardstick in terms of quality of work and customer service, others could take a good look.....

Just one thing!
After I had my GMT2C serviced (Rolex not a specialist)
I couldn't help thinking that there was les of a contrast between the polished centre links and the outer brushed outer links, not because the centre links were duller but because to my eyes the outer links looked a tiny bit less brushed looking!
By the tiniest amount but we buy watches because of tiny details, after a couple of years I ended up having all the links brushed at David Duggan and am happy with it, though I think it could be a little more brushed!
The service receptionist at Rolex did mention that I could have instructed them not to have touched the bracelet, if I buy a blue / black and get it serviced that's what I'll do!!!
