pearsth 0 Posted November 26, 2011 Hello...greetings from the US. I have been looking around the internet for about 2 days and stumbled upon this fine site. Glad I did, probably saved me a bad purchase on some sites I was looking at. Anyhow...just going to do some research for a while then make a buy. I really like the Rolex Submariner and will probably end up with one of those sooner or later. I do have a question. Anyone ever taken these watches for service locally? Do local jewelers freak out at the fact that they are Reps when the see them? Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted November 26, 2011 Welcome, it depends mate, a small "mom and pop" style place may well work on some reps but FFS don't take near an AD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pearsth 0 Posted November 26, 2011 What is an AD? Also, anyone know if the only way to get a truly waterproof Rolex rep is to buy from BK? Anyone else offering this? Thanks, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 26, 2011 AD = Autorized Dealer. Truly waterproof Rolex... a little bit of grease, and you can do it yourself with ease. Crystals are well pressed at factories, in most cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
