Cost of servicing the SD?
Hi guys,
I know it's a bit early for me to worry about the servicing of my new SD ![]() I believe the replacement of the He valve (mandatory, I believe) and heavy-duty caseback gasket does boost up the servicing cost considerably. ![]() Any thoughts (and no wiseass cracks please!!) ![]() Cheers - JJ ![]()

![]() ![]() The longest I've ever had a Rolex was my very first one purchased in 1980 and then sold in 1990. Never serviced it....worked like a bloody horse!! ![]() After that, it's been flip, flip all the way. ![]() My question was more out of curiosity, but I sincerely hope (and keep vowing to myself) that I can hold on to this SD for the rest of my life!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I had my SD serviced by RSC Bexley last year - total cost was £210. Excellent service and superb finish (better than the orginal factory finish). I doubt though that this is something you need to worry about - during the last year whilst I have been logging on to the forum you have owned no less than 4 different watches!!!

Cart before the horse? How about the cart is in outer space and the horse is long dead and buried. Don't worry about service JJ, the third or fourth owner of that watch can take care of that. :-)

Nah, lower end. A very popular watch, not as often seen as the submariner I don't believe though.
It will be here in less than 12 hours. ![]()

RSC in San Fran sez about $100 more than a standard Sub on the SD service, JJ. While my preferred watch maker (in the gift center) charges $50 more than for a standard sport Rolex.
In case you keep it long enough...
