INCOMING......A GMT COKE with a story to tell.
So today I picked up my GMT Coke from RSC after a full service, replacement dial, hands, bezel insert and crown.
She's looking great, but boy does this watch have a story attached to it. If you wanna know what happened, you'll need to read the following thread.... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=508327 |

Nice watch and congrats. Could you please TLDR that story ending for me?? I read the initial post about how it was stolen and you were awaiting a refund but I'm too lazy to read the entire thread for a conclusion.

I'm curious why new dial and hands were needed for a K serial?

The hands also showed evidence of marks, so best option was to replace the lot. And yes, I'll get some pics of the chamfers soon. |

Congratulations on ending up with a great looking watch but man, what a story! That makes me NOT want to send any of my pre-owned watches to RSC.

I just read your prior thread and am thrilled to learn that your situation has been resolved and your watch has been serviced and returned. It looks brand new and I'm sure will be a lifelong keeper.
As others have said, Rolex should have compensated you somehow, in some way, to soften the blow of your wasted time and money, and the aggravation they caused by flagging your watch as stolen property. It's disappointing to learn that they didn't. In the end, your watch has a story that few, if any, can claim. Enjoy it!

Great looking GMT, what a story though! Rolex should have compensated you with something for your troubles. I'm sure you'll keep all the correspondence just in case you need it at your next service!

I agree they should have compensated you in some way. Discounted service at the very least.
