Rolex DeepSea - SeaDweller RSC Service Estimate....

[johnk]

My Daily wear watch is generally my Black/Blue Deepsea. It's perhaps ~8 years old and was in excellent condition. I had actually been thinking lately how long it would go before requiring service. Tuesday I went to put it on, went to wind it and there was zero resistance when winding the crown.

I called the RSC in NY where I've sent 4-5 other watches over the years and they stated that they only perform warranty repair now and they instructed me to send the watch to the RSC in Dallas. I shipped Wednesday, the watch was signed for Thursday (yesterday) and this morning I received the estimate which I approved.. 'Complete overhaul, refinish bracelet and refinish case' $900 to include return shipping... While this estimate doesn't show it, I expect them to also replace the escape valve like the RSC has done on (2) of my other SeaDwellers..

The price is in-line with what I expected based on my previous experiances with the RSCs on SeaDwellers, and while the watch was still in beautiful condition for a daily wearer, I'm excited to get it back in near perfect condition..

The good news is I'm 'forced' to wear some of my other Rolexs for a while, LOL..

I hope this helps, more to come...
