Well, after a year and a half of near daily wear, my Tudor Prince Oysterdate (Ref 9081/3) which I believe is from 1974, stopped today and even with manual winding will not restart. I'm guessing that means a trip to the "shop."

So, my question is: Will RSC even service it or should I try to find a local Rolex trained jeweler in my area (Sacramento)? (Either way, I suspect the service won't be cheap).

Thank you for any advice you can give me.

Greg,
I'd try to find a local Rolex trained watchmaker and let them evaluate it first to give you some idea what the repairs would cost. Might be easier on the wallet than you think.
Good luck,

What are waiting for.
Dr. Bob just the right person for it.
RSC may not service it being 70s.
