greg_r 81 Posted March 27, 2014 Sounds like you need to find an independent Rolex specialist, mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted March 27, 2014 Holy fuck, that's like half the price of a new one, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conex 0 Posted March 27, 2014 Yeh that sounds about right. Mine was £1800 last time. But i just switched to a Nato strap and told them not to bother with the strap work. That knocked off £750. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly593 0 Posted March 27, 2014 Holy Shit Bracelet worn £800, do Rolex actually insist on a new Bracelet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 674 Posted March 27, 2014 Their service department/customer service is shocking... £600 to put a bezel back onto a 14 month old watch. Never buying a watch from them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobarch 0 Posted March 27, 2014 You should write them and ask what kind of lube they use before they bend you over the barrel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 674 Posted March 27, 2014 You should write them and ask what kind of lube they use before they bend you over the barrel. Expensive Rolex branded lube would be my guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormyNight 0 Posted March 27, 2014 Prepare to be without it for approx. 20 weeks too... Mental. Send it to Rolex Addict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadyManc 0 Posted March 27, 2014 As much as I love watches I could never pay £1800 for a service, daylight robbery doesn't even come close. I would imagine you can part/ex it for much more, add £1800 and get a brand new one, and that's probably the strategy Rolex hopes for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
