Hola! pre owned retirement rolex tale....

Hello everyone! Just joined,bought myself a pre owned explorer LL 2003,lug holes,black face. Learning to put a picture of it in here. Anyway,hour hand was always slow to the hour,could line it up fine,but too much play in gears. Took it to Rolex doctor in Boca Raton..watch had never been serviced. Overhaul and parts 700 bucks(up front). 4 weeks. This is week 3. Frustrating! Learning a lot about the Rolex experience...crash course. Hope it comes out a happy ending. Anyone have any work done there? I just took a shot. I'll post a picture when I get it back and how it turns out etc.

i would have gotten a second opinion before spinning $700 into that watch.

that's almost a whole movement.
