1992 Rolex Date Just

My 1992 Rolex stem apparently just broke. It will not move the hands nor will it wind the spring. It has been serviced regularly but I question whether it is worth this kind of repair. Any thoughts? Thanks

Almost any Rolex is worth repairs, especially one as simple as a broken stem.

All good quality products are worth repairing … junk cannot be repaired.

What kind of question is that… if you don’t repair it what are you gonna do with it? Paperweight? In the trash/landfill like all Americans like to say (and put stuff despite it being perfectly fine or easily repairable?)

If you’ve gone through all the trouble to research and then become a new member here to ask, I think that pretty much says you want to get it repaired. And you should

IF you wanted to get rid of it I would certainly give it a nice home. 1992 was a good year for me!
