Glad to know you got your SD back from service...
... I can well understand you, because on 2010 I left my own 1680 (1977 vintage) in my local Official Service, and it took two months to be back. The compensation came with the very low charge for the complete movement service, and change of crown tube and plexi: about US $200,00 in the then current exchange, which I feel was a bargain for the main Rolex official service here, which is run by Rolex itself, in their own premises.
I feel you appreciate more your oldie, when you miss it a bit, and count the days remaining to the date promised by the service for completing the job.
I wish you´ll enjoy it so much, and that the waiting was worth it.
Cordial regards, Abel.
Just back from service - how it was missed!!!
Not quite in league of prestige as the recent posts on 16660, or the recent Comex made me even more aware how much I was missing my usual daily companion!! The service took 7 weeks in the UK, and I received the phonecall it was ready on Christmas eve, but...
Cool watch, my friend.
Funny to see how absence can make us realize how some of our watches are important for us. Linked to the birth of your son, this SD is worth any other prestigious elder sister. Thanks for this refreshing post, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Funny how one can miss things.
A great watch and it is no wonder that you missed it. Best regards, George
I agree Geroge,
....and then when you log on here, and see everyone else's watches - you realise your wrist is... 'empty' !! ;-) LOL cheers Tony
Why 7 weeks?
My submariner is currently at the Rolex service center in Seoul. Will take 3 weeks which is what I consider reasonable. Why did yours take 7 weeks? How much was it BTW in Sterling pounds? (I heard the charges are standardized around the world). I saw that...
No idea why 7 weeks.....
It actually first needed the service over a year ago (gaining time), but the estimate then was 13 weeks, so I figured I could live with 5mins fast a week. Then I enquired in november at the dealer in Aberdeen, and they said 8weeks. Apparently the service ...
service charge
My submariner service charge is equivalent to 292 pounds. Not a bad deal comparatively but I do think most things in the UK are more expensive. Good to hear the date change is so precise - sometimes I'm kinda obsessed about this
