Hi

I have inherited a Rolex Oyster(10 years old) which needs a new battery at least, a link put into the the bracelet and maybe a service.

I have heard that it's best to send them back to Rolex but this could cost upto around £250.

Can anyone advise me please. Can I just take it to the nearest Jeweller that sells Rolex and ask them to get it going?

L.F.

Hi

As you can tell I know nothing about watches! I have not worn one for at least 10 years since I lost my Swatch. I use my phone as a watch but I thought I might wear this Rolex occasionally if I got it working.

Anyway it's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual date white face and Roman numerals. Stainless.
Purchased Sept 1990. Model number : the box has a sticker - 15200. Is that it?

Thanks for the link - that must be where I got the £250 figure from.

I think you're telling me that it doesn't have a battery?
