I inherited my Grandpa's watch years ago. Never really wore it as it doesn't keep accurate time. Rolex won't service it. Anyone have a recommendation for service? Also any information about the model would be appreciated.

Send it to Rik.

taking a while guess - model 6305, BB movement. Parts can be hard to get, yet any competent watchmaker in your area can repair it. Prepare to pay $500 to $1000 for the service. I would say that the dial has redone. Band is too new for the watch.

Correct. Band is a new Rolex band. Dial I am not aware of a replacement. What did you see pertaining to the dial it may be a replacement?

I Googled your model guess and came up with this. Looks like mine doesn't it?

Very cool watch. You must use a watchmaker who specializes in vintage and knows what is important. Tommy Taylor, R.W.T. on this forum, has a deft touch with older models and and does a very sympathetic service. And with Tommy you'll be able to brag to your buddies the service was done by a multi gold record winning musician. :)

Thanks Richard. I'll Google Tommy Taylor and reach out to him.

Sutter's in Chicago is an RSC, but also has knowledgeable watchmakers on staff.

When you say "Rolex won't service it", it doesn't really tell us much.

Frederic Becker · 22 March 2017, 11:32 AM

That's right! I completely forgot about them. Thanks Tools.
