How much does a nomal Service Costs?

Hi,

I am a new owner of 116710LN. Prior to that I hav a tudor submariner of about 5 years old and it has never been serviced before. I am planning to send it for a service and maybe getting a new bazel.

I am wondering if Rolex chagres the same rate all over the world as I am currently living in London (RSC: GBP170 for a std service) and travel to Malaysia everymonth. Maybe I can get my tudor serviced there.

Hope someone can give some advise.

Service at the RSC is a complete disassembly, clean all parts, replace anything out of tolerance....may include replacement of the crown and tube where it connects to the watch case (difficult to remove without damage). TLKhey also to a complete case and bracelet refinish..


That's at the top end.....You know, you can find a good watchmaker to clean, oil, and adjust for a fraction of the Rolex cost...
