<<< two Rolex in one month off to RSC >>>

Two Rolex malfunctions in under two months

So my wife Andrea wears the lucky 3 Submariner 114060 that I won here on a TRF giveaway and also she wears a 34mm date ( also a model year 2017ish).

A few weeks ago, her Submariner stopped … as in dead stop. Winding it did nothing, slight shake nothing, so off to service it goes. On the plus side we got it back in about 3 weeks and it’s been running great ever since. Full Service required.

Then, yesterday Andrea says to me “can you set my watch, the date is stuck between numbers”…. Sure enough, the date wont move. The watch is running, it winds well, but I can’t change the date by either advancing the hour hand or using the second position to jump the hour hand

Looks like I’m headed to RSC again

It’s funny because a couple of years ago I started thinking about the cost of maintenance relative to my collection, and it was at that point I decided to pair back a bit. That wasn’t the only reason, but it was one.

Anyway, you folks with large collections (the ones who actually keep your watches beyond warranty) must feel my pain

Anyway, just thought I’d share.

Oh, I've had to have several of my watches serviced...both Rolex and Tudor.

But never two at a time.

You need to go the opposite way and expand your collection - so you still have a choice of Rolexes to wear should a few go in for service!
