Service only at AD?
Hey guys my Batman is due for servicing. Does using an authorized AD the ONLY way to go? What are your thoughts? Anyone used another shop besides an AD with great results? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Some AD have Rolex trained watchmakers so that might be an option for you.

The work the watchmaker did was alright, but I think RSC could've done a bit better job polishing the watch. The thing about the RSC is that they have it almost like an assembly line approach. The person who does polishing, for example, does that all day every day, whereas the AD probably has one guy/gal doing the entire watch. The assembly line approach allows more expertise. Most importantly, if something goes wrong with the service, you don't have to worry about souring your relationship with the AD. |

Anecdotal but my experience with a Rolex AD was very poor. Since than I use only official Rolex owned RSC’s.
There should be no difference but at least with a RSC you are sure procedures etc. are in place. Their only business is to service Rolex watches. If your BLNR runs fine you may not need a service at all and save you the hassle for another few years
