my AD has just called me and given me the estimate
![]() there is apparently an extra charge because its vintage ![]() anyway the estimate with service charge is £350 and that is including a new plexiglass. i asked if it was the exact same as the plexiglass that is already in and i am assured it is. if i didnt want the plexi they wouldn't/couldn't guarantee the work they also said they would ploish for free but i declined the offer so all in all i am happy except its now 14 weeks to wait ![]() |

Yes the vintage surcharge is a pain, but I guess it is just an extra insurance for Rolex as more is likely to go wrong with a vintage watch than a modern one during the 1 year service guarantee.
The reason they change the plexi is they can crack and craze with age and can't be guaranteed to be waterproof. Personally I think the crystal is a small price to pay to keep the dial, hands and movement safe from water ingress. ![]() ![]() I'm 8 weeks in on my latest service and I'm dreaming of that call every night how sad is that ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope your wait doesn't seem so long as mine has this time. |

Yes, mine was changed just as a matter of course at it's last service. The old glass was sent back along with the watch. It is totally unmarked, but they still changed it.
