Cost for RSC replacement of pip on Sub bezel?

[cascadez71]

I believe RSC can now replace pip only on ceramic sub bezel, correct? What is estimated cost? $50?

Probably need another 0 on there and you may get a little change.

Hmm, I had presumed this would be rather 'cheap' all things considered. The crystal replacement is only like $150 (planning on doing that for AR coating).

It won’t be 50.. it’ll be 3 digits at least is what I meant

Yes on ceramic inserts cost around $50-$75 and a lot cheaper than a new ceramic insert.

It has been an interesting evolution.

For the first few years Rolex only replaced the entire insert. Then they developed a tool that allowed replacement of the pip only, and it is available to those authorized AD service shops.

I don't think that it will be this cheap since the bezel needs to be removed, cleaned, pip changed out, and everything re installed.

Check with Ben Bridge or Nesbits in the Seattle area for an authorized shop that may have the tools if you don't want to ship too far.

Had a damaged pip on my sub (2023 LV) repaired about a month ago. Took around four weeks to complete from the day I dropped it off until I picked it up. Final cost was $135.69.

Fantastic thank you for all the replies. Will be sending into RSC for service regardless, just wanted to know since I am looking at buying a watch with busted pip from trusted seller.

I did not think to just call RSC and ask.

That's gone up quite a bit since Rolex developed the tool to replace the insert pearl but like everything prices go up but seldom come down,but still a lot cheaper than a new insert.

It's priceless. Why look at a broken pip?

Modern reference and not broken by me, I want a fresh one. :)

If I broke it and still lumes, I would carry on.

i got this done a couple years ago on my hulk for a cracked pip. Can't remember exactly but I think it was in the $150 AUD range
