GMTII in for service - what to expect?
Hey Everyone,
Yesterday I took my original GMTII (not ceramic) into my AD to have it serviced. I purchased the watch in 2006, and figured it was about time for a servicing anyway. I plan to sell the watch when it comes back, but I'm curious about how much I should expect to pay for the servicing itself? Aside from daily wear and tear, that watch performs beautifully, so I doubt anything would need to be replaced. The only thing that concerns me is that I nicked the casing noticeably when changing the bezel last summer. Photo attached. Anyone know what the average cost for a servicing is? For what it's worth, I'm in Amsterdam and the cost will be in € Thanks in advance! |

It will come back looking like new. In fact, you may NOT want to sell it after service !

That nick isn't too bad. They will file it down with emory paper, and then high polish that area, followed by a satin finish on the top of the lug. No biggie.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm pretty set on selling it, as I have the GMTIIc as well, which I personally prefer more. I'll get the estimate from my AD within 2 weeks, and then it will go to Rolex for a full servicing. Any idea what a good price would be to sell it at when it returns?
Also, is there a way to tell which movement is inside the watch from it's serial #? I read that towards the end of the GMTII production, some of the older watches got the newer movement found in the GMTIIc. I would imagine this makes the watch worth more, no? Thanks! |
