[Explorer Reporting]

I guess they have to spend time doing that and they don't have a ton of man power to do a lot of authenticating. Imagine the number of rolex owners in SG. ~_~

Just sent in a submariner to jw for authentication.. charges $53.50 including water pressure test for less than 20min...

Verification @ rsc

$107 = scratch on watch + long waiting time + just verbally telling you it is authentic or not. Worth it ?

I always verify watches at my regular 2nd hand dealer. Only 30 bucks, no scratches and only takes 10 mins. I can even get to view the inside movement myself before he closes the back case for me, unlike rsc.

Got my watch regulated in RSC. it was free as my watch still has valid warranty. 1 hour's wait, got a free polishing cloth too :-)

Any1 noes wat does Overhaul of the watch includes? Polish, oiling etc...? Any external parts replacement?

[Heng Tin Hong]

External,Changes of hands,crown & thread.(not sure whether they replace the stem)

Internal,Changes of main spring.

That what RSC told me,when I sent my 16018 in for overhaul.

Additional part will charge individually.

Hope this help.

[raylww81]

Oh.. ic..
Is the replacement an SOP? or RSC will decide to change onli if they deem fit?
Coz mine watch oni 3mths old..bt they told me wil do an overhaul.. wonder if they wil change e parts or just remains as i believe e parts are still new..

Maybe RSC already cost in the change of hands, crown/thread and main spring.
Sometimes back, I sent a Breitling watch to service at Melchers, they quoted me for $600 for overhaul and said that it includes replacement of hands and crown plus polishing of bracelet and watch casing. Guess what, when I checked the website later, it stated that overhaul service is $490. So the difference is what Melchers assumed is must and costed in and the reason they gave is that when dismantling the dial, the hands will be damaged and crown changed for water proof purpose. Crown I can understand, but hands??? Are they trying to tell me their technicians repair skill sucks! Hope is not OOT.

Bro, you mean you went same day and rsc does it on the spot? How long does it take?

[minimerc]

Yeah man. RSC scratched my bezel when I sent my watch for verification. Of cos, they denied everything and even showed me a mini photo of the watch and bezel which they had taken before opening the case, and insisted the scratch was there! All I saw was a low quality photo. Damn them!!

1970's datejust

Hi guys, recently my grandfather had passed down to me a rolex datejust, I cross referenced the serial number and it's date back to 1971. The watch itself is actually not very accurate anymore, and also quite scratched up around the bracelet and lugs(at least to my eye) as well as the acrylic crystal. I've read online about fitting a sapphire crystal into the watch at RSC, so I hope if anyone can tell me the cost for full service of this old watch at RSC and if I can also change the crystal to sapphire. I'm only a student who is lucky enough to inherit such a piece of history, so I hope to save up enough money to one day bring this watch back to tip top condition. Thanks!
