Wacker23 0 Posted September 19, 2013 that shouldnt cost you more than 1700-1900 dollars to fix. scumbags. 200 for the insert 150-200 for the crown 250-300 for the crystal, 400-500 for the dial and hands, 300 for a tune-up thru riki on rolex forums or a reliable person here and if the bracelet is messed up 150-200 thru micheal young on rolex forums.i think for 6000 pounds you can buy a mint condtion tt ceramic sub from capetown watches. if thats the case sell this one and use it for the new one. http://www.capetownstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DB&Product_Code=CT25214&Category_Code=Rolex-N-SUB You forget the labor rate at $1000 an hour. Oh my god i hope your kidding thats nuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScotchSoda 0 Posted October 14, 2013 Gorgeous watch! I'm sure somebody here could fix it up, with rep parts it wouldn't cost much at all surely! (blasphemy I know but it beats paying £6k) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronin007 0 Posted July 4, 2014 So after a while,rolex said it was a write off,met some great members who have helped specially one who will be revealed soon,watch has been totally restored with all gen parts including new bracelet,not a easy find,movement is now getting sorted hopefully,was seized up,couple of pics,i think its a great testament to this forum that members can see through a poor old broken watch and put the effort in,couple of pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
