Jatco,
Thanks for your comments. I've worn this watch daily from day one. I had the watch serviced about 5 years ago (not an authorised facility). I went to bed one night, and the woke up to a non-running watch. I tried to wind and nothing. As far as impact damage, I may have dropped it on my carpeting but never have I dropped it on a hard surface. Furthermore, I never noticed signs of any water intrusion. I guess 33 years of daily use, things will wear out. Just would like to know if the estimate seems fair. Thanks. ![]() |

I wish I could say definitively about the estimate. Given the watch was serviced 5 years ago and jewels were re-oiled etc..I guess I find it hard to believe that all those wheels would need replacing plus a broken jewel (?)..date wheel, crown and stem..etc. Just seems to be too many parts 'supposedly ' needed...even for a 30 year old Rolex..I'm surprised the crystal is an 'option'..since just about everything else is new.
I wish I could say for sure..but I can't. I just have my doubts. Personally, I would get another estimate for comparison. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge than me will chime in...

Please note an RSC will repair to a new state, so any wear or tear, which on it’s own will not be an issue will be replaced.
An example I always use are the cocks and bridges, if they are cosmetically damaged due to a worn rotor axle will be replaced. Even though funtionswise it is still at a 100%. So do it one time at an RSC and you can go to indepent watchmakers the next 2 serivice interval’s |

That's an involved process, I've always wondered what went on behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing
