Sub Service worries (Part 2)

[GoldenBear]

The thread about properly servicing your watch and taking care of it was beaten to death, so I am hesitant to mention something similar, but here goes...I noticed that some people were concerned that if they sent in their "older" Subs for service that Rolex would replace the original dial with a new one. I just got my 17 y/o Sub serviced for the second time in its well-used life. It came back looking fabulous, it sparkled like it was brand new and there were no scratches. It has only been a couple of days, so I don't know about the accuracy. It was always very accurate. Even thought the lume is dead, they didn't swap the face as some people thought they might. I called and asked about it. They said they wouldn't swap the face as they knew it would "ruin" the watch. So, FWIW, they understand the value, sentimental or otherwise, of keeping the original parts on the watch. Anyway, that was my experience with my recent Sub service.
