What does a Rolex "Service" consist of?

My SS Sub Date is in The Shop at the moment. The tube is stuck to the crown apparently, I noticed this when the crown refused to engage the threads after setting and when it did engage, the date would move as well.

So The Shop is replacing the tube and crown. Can anyone tell me what this tube is please??

They also said that the hands are spotted and that the watch has been um... 'banged around a bit' with scratches on the crystal, bezel and case back. I told them not to change the hands and just do the overall case touch up. The watch had been on my wrist virtually 24/7 for 4 years and is the second service in it's life. They looked a bit appalled at the condition of the watch, but mind you, you wouldn't notice half the stuff they mention unless you used a loupe. I guess it just shows that my Sub has been well used.
