From old to new!
Just got my Sub 16610 back from the Service centre. Its like a brand new watch. Some may remember i tried a few PM models when i dropped it off at the Knightsbridge AD. Didn't try anything on this time but very happy to get my sub looking like new. I know the stickers are still on. Will take them off and also sorry to post one pic at a time, can't figure out how to do multiple pics.

For those who are interested....
So its a 2004 sub16610. Had a full service and i also asked for a new crown as mine was dented. A new bezel insert as my pearl was cracked and a new sapphire crystal as i had a small chip/scratch on the date window

Wow, dented crown, cracked pearl and chipped crystal - nice to see someone using their sub to the fullest.

Does the RSC or Rolex authorized repair center always and automatically put new stickers on the case sides and case back after completing warranty work? I note the new stickers on your Sub but I was not aware that the RSC or Rolex authorized repair centers in the US affix new stickers as if the watch just left the Rolex factory brand new. Is this something unique in the UK or unique as to the service center that you selected to effectuate the repairs to your watch? Either way, your watch looks great!

Looks great, really nice work.
I dropped my 18 year old GMT master off in St James Square RSC yesterday already have a £700 quote.
Will proceed and get it back in 4 weeks hopefully.

As this is the first watch i have serviced i cannot answer that. Hopefully someone who has had their watch serviced by Rolex uk st james square can chime in. I assumed this was just standard procedure.

What were you getting done? 18yrs, i'd say it has earned a little timeout at the service centre for rest and relaxation and will come back looking and feeling fresh. My bill was £630 so i'm interested to see what your getting done.

looks good but is it the light that made the crown on your clasp looks over polished?
it was so much sharper before..
