Just went to Rolex Malaysia to do a routine service of my explorer. The service costs RM2100 which is about USD668. Is this reasonable or are they prices roughly standardized? I remember servicing my Submariner 2 years ago in Seoul for around USD500. Thanks.
Thanks for the article. I enjoy it tremendously. I could almost hear myself calling it the Japanese "Simplicity". Amazing accomplishment. A few comments if I may. 1) The dial design and features are very beautiful. Much better and way less boring/bland than any Grand Seikos. 2) Hand finishing is exq

(I heard the charges are standardized around the world). I saw that service booklet too and I really hope they p
My emotions when I saw this watch: 1) What an ugly and ungainly watch! 2) Looks terrible on the wrist! 3) What the hell is it saying about the wearer ?!
