Hello everyone.
I have owed my Rolex 18k Daydate for a few years now and it rarely leaves my wrist. Its the best watch I have ever owned and I just love it. As you can see its dates from the mid to late 80's and is looking a bit worn now but I kinda love this 'battle scarring'. Its had to put up with being dropped, being worn whilst working on numerous cars, banged into a wall whilst a bit drunk and god knows what else so the question is do I get it refurbished or leave it as it is and just get the bracelet tightened ? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I'd say get it polished and fixed up like new again! You've definitely gotten some great use out of it so far. Why not give it a face lift to show it how much you love it - then give it another 15 plus years of beauty scars before you do it again!

Someone once told me it takes 3 months - I have no idea on the time needed or the costs. I assume this is a AD or do I go to Rolex direct ? |

Very cool! A watch that has lived the good life of being worn like it was intended. What a great piece.
Are you going to get it serviced at some point, or have you already? It would be great to see it brought back to like-new condition, like only RSC can do. |
