My baby is back from the spa.....
My dealer has treated my GMT to a trip to the Rolex spa. They have done an amazing job....it looks like new. So here she is back on my wrist Andy...
Give us some color.
How old is the watch and what was done to it. I have never done official Rolex refresh as i am only vintage. Love to hear more. Bill
Hey Bill.....
This little baby is just over 12 years old and never been serviced It was my second Rolex and has had quite the traumatic life so I have always felt it needed this to put all the memories in the past......when I picked it up the shop assistant scratched t...
So what work was done.
We can assume a movement service New gaskets New crystal New insert Case refinishing New / refinished bracelet Guessing no dial or hands work. Did they change the tube and crown. Factory service card is issued 1 or 2 year gurantee. Do they guarantee water...
Are you interested in a service for one of yours..?
The service is covered in detail on their website and it comes back with a booklet outlining what was done.... Basically yes to all of the above questions but I don't believe the crystal, pepsi insert or crown was replaced. The crystal and crown may be re...
I don't have a Rolex that is not vintage so no chance for me.
It was just nice to hear the details of a fresh full service. For a vintage watch replacing certain parts can kill the value of a watch an advange a more modern vintage does not suffer from. But Rolex does not have parts for tue old boys except at their r...
I am sure you will enjoy it as much as you did before, even more.
Happy to see it back to where it should always be, on your wrist. All the best, my friend. Nicolas
Cheers my friend....
Please see the pics I have just posted under Bills reply to see what a phenominal job they have done. I feel like I have really done justice to her after the rocky start...!! Very very pleased. Andy.
Unfortunately although she looks pheminal....
she will have to go back as the date change occurs at midday and not midnight..!! A little dissapointing QC didn't notice this and now I risk scratches in sending it back. So dissapointed Andy.
Heeey, my friend. Sorry for the silly question, but...
The GMT MASTER is a 24 hours watch. Did you do the correct settings? If the date changes at Miday, give the hour hand another 12 hours turn, and see what happens... Best, Nicolas
Yes....my bad....!!!
I take it back.....no complaints now....other than feeling a little stupid..!! Cheers my friend, Andy.
All reset and working fine....!!!
Oops we all make mistakes....If I had just thought about it I would have worked it out but always good to have friends to think clearly Best, Andy.
