My 2017 GMT II is losing and hour on the hour hand but the minute handing is reading correctly. I assume this is a fault relating to the mechanism that allows whole hour adjustments?

Rolex UK service centre is 15 minutes from me in Kent and have quoted £700 inc vat to service and diagnose.

Any thoughts on the issue and or the cost to put right, on top of the service cost?

Any alternative options to Rolex for this work?

When you reset the hour hand using the jump hour feature what happens? Falls behind again?

I'd hazard a guess that it may cost you no extra. But that IS a guess.

I would use Rolex and depending on the case / bracelet condition ask them not to polish it.

For me, RSC services have always been worth the money at resale.

For me: Back to Rolex.

I’ve got a Rolex authorised guy in Sevenoaks, but I don’t know what you’d gain really.
