I had my YM serviced at the RSC last year. They gave me a 1-year warranty, which was great.
If I had a 40+ year old Rolex, I would consider an independent watch maker. But, as long as Rolex is willing to keep servicing my watch, I'll probably keep taking my YM to the RSC. |

I trust my AD watchmaker implicitly..... Plain and simple.

if you believe it or not Rsc uses an assembly line for many of their movements, one person installs mainsprings all day, then it moves to anothe person that installs the wheels then another person oils it, etc.... alot of these people are hired off the street and trained for that specific task which they do every day. after the watch is completely put back together it then goes to a watchmaker which checks and regulates it. the vintage and complicated models are always done by watchmakers. not all RSC are this way some use more watchmakers than others.
