DJ2 service in OC/SoCal

My ‘16 116234 has suddenly stopped. I suspect mainspring broken. Would you send it to Rolex in LA(not driving up to the service center) OR does anyone have a recommendation for an independent servicer?

DJ2 service in OC/SoCal

I’ve had good experiences with Jostmar jewelers and watchmakers in Costa Mesa (inside South Coast Plaza) but they are swamped, so it’s gonna take a while to get it serviced.

I would contact RSC in Dallas and get the information to have the watch sent in. I do not think you will save enough money going elsewhere to justify it. The turn around times have gotten better based on some posts here. Good luck and a very cool watch.

Love the DJ2. Isn’t that the Phantom Dial?

You might want to get that cyclops changed as well. It looks like one of the years where they had the wrong mag of cyclops fitted.

I have three DJ2. One of them had the same issue. RSC swapped out the crystal for no charge.

Does the local Rolex AD need to facilitate this, or it is something we could do ourselves and send directly to RSC in Dallas. Not sure if I read/or heard there is no longer a RSC in California.

I have used Jewelers On Time in Newport Beach and I love them. Kenny and Victor (twins brothers running the place) are top notch dudes and their service department is fantastic.

Note - Their website super outdated, so don't judge them on that. Go to the actual store and you'll be presently surprised.

On this point in particular imo, a very compelling reason to send to RSC.
Nice watch. Let us know how it works out.

Thx all! Will keep these in mind for my next service.
& I sent it to RSC Dallas via a local AD/jeweler. Good to know they’ll replace the crystal if it’s not right! Fortuitous Bonus

Jewelers on Time in Newport. Talk to victor or Kenny. Great guys and longtime WIS/collectors. Always fun talking watches with them and they have Rolex trained watchmakers on staff.
