Daytona Service

I'm just curious how much more it is to fully service the Daytona compared to the other Rolex models. Someone mentioned $1000 on another thread.... Is that true? O know my father serviced his DJ a couple of years ago for around $550CDN.

Just got mine back RSC Dallas. Total bill with shipping $921.50. That included a new gold crown at $120.00. My watch is TT Zenith.

Well, my new Daytona is definitely not due for a service for a while.... Just wanted to know what to expect.

Thanks for the replies!

the zenith model daytona is always going to run a little more expensive than the new in house movements just so you know

That's right. The new in house Rolex movement in the Daytona will cost a lot less than the zenith.

So does anyone have a good estimate for the cost of full service for the newer Daytonas? $700 maybe?

$1000. The Rolex AD's that have in-house service are required to send the 4130's to RUSA for service.

Art my guess of $700 was based on the two comments above (assuming a new crown isn't needed).

I would say you are about right. TT & gold models should run more than SS. More work & detail going into the bracelet.

Was it sent thru an AD? Some mark it up over RSC for just handling the watch.
