Vanessa Great post. You are a true professional. I used to think that a service was more expensive than it should be but not anymore. Where are you located?

I was not aware that RSc does not have a watchmaker touch my Sd until the final timing phase. In effect does that mean I am getting an apprentice working on my SD instead of a watchmaker?

For Sub with date, stainless steel, how often do they need service if nothing wrong with the watch? every 5 yr?
Thanks |

Vanessa, what a dynamite writeup. I was getting so into your detail that I am sorry you didn't give more detail. Fascinating profession and quite insightful into the world of small pieces of machinery and parts. Thanks for taking the time to write this. The fee for the overhaul is sure worth it. They don't call you watch doctor without good reason !!!!

No I cannot, and never will (unless I would go and work at an RSC). The water resistance rating is way beyond my testing machine's capabilities!

Hi Vanessa, my uncle left me his explorer II which is around 10 years old. It has never been service, it keeps great time however, it is all scratched up and ding everywhere. Can it be fixed to look like it is brand new (reasonably). If so, how much would it cost me? Thanks! Great post BTW.

RSC does phenomenal work on the refinishing of Explorer II's! You will get an estimate from them first. You can send it in through an AD or you can send it directly. Good luck.

Hey Vanessa,
how much would you charge to service a Sub? your write up really makes me confident in your work not to mention i just want to have it done after reading your post. |
