Hi all,

I have a 15210 (20 yrs old) that has never been serviced. As expected, the watch has been losing time & screaming to be serviced. A search on google led me to this forum & watchpassionist contribution.

Is there anyone else I should consider?

Thanks for reading!!!

Try new world, Mr Lim. He was formerly at Golden Landmark, many watch dealers go to him for repair work when he was there.
But he is not an expert on polishing, go to GLM look for Excel Kenny or Cindy.

Hi all,

I have a 15210 (20 yrs old) that has never been serviced. As expected, the watch has been losing time & screaming to be serviced. A search on google led me to this forum & watchpassionist contribution.

Based on his suggestion, I called up the 3 shops to get quotations - JW, Chuan & New World.

JW didnt open yesterday & only managed to speak with them after 2pm. She quoted me $250 + $100 parts replacement which would be likely since my watch components could be breaking down. I'm not sure if that incl polishing. The problem is the waiting time is 4months!! This is becos they have alot of orders & ordering spare parts could take a long time too!!

Chuan quoted package of servicing & polishing for $300. Collect within a week. They dont open on weekends. 1 yr warranty.

New World quoted servicing & polishing for $180. Collect within a week. Mr Lim spoke confidently that it is a easy job & he does not expect any problem. They are opened everyday. 1 yr warranty. Wow.

Of course, before I discovered this site, RSC quoted me a starting fee of $730 to service this watch. I suspect the final cost could be higher.

I looked for reviews of servicing done by New World but cant find any. Henry (Chuan) maybe ex-RSC but does he or his worker do the servicing?

It is a toss up between Chuan & New World. I havent which to go yet.

Is there anyone else I should consider?

Thanks for reading!!!

for links, it is hard to say it is new or pre-own. even buy from RSC, we take it as it is brand new. cause they not allowed to sell used parts.

if it new, how they get their hands on one. im curious.

also curious to know if the pieces they are selling are brand new? if it is, is it local or overseas set. cause it will make a difference.

Well, The link I bought is from a sub as they claimed. There was no scratches or marks on it. So I assume it is an extra link that people sell to them. I actually intended to head RSC to get it but it was a sunday when my senior told me it too tight. To prevent delay, I ventured into pre-owned shop. Not all the link can be used on the newer rolex model as I found out after going through three pre-own shops.

I cant say too much about the Sub that my friend got as I was not present when he bought it. His the one that recommanded me there and Passion too. I already describe it as BNIB. So it should tell you something. Beside, they also need to take time(~one to three weeks) to get it. Local or overseas, I would not know but you can also drop by their shop at Bencoolen building to checkout.

Sorry miss out Chuan watch earlier post

[watchpassionist]

watchlink charge quite low for consignment so is a plus points...

Hey, how can you give +1 for sexy girls?!!! Either you give zero or +5(if it is the max)

My is recommendation is Brightime aka www.championtime.com.

Rating maybe +1.

Brought extra rolex link from them at half the price RSC quote me in Feb11. My friend brought BNIB submariner LV from them at ~SG7k late last year. They quoted me 18% LESS for air-king when AD quote me max of 15% LESS in Jan11. They even offered to bring in the air-king model(taiwan flag colour concentric dial) which was phase out recently and almost out of stock in most AD (Though I ended up buying from Sincere as this watch is for my senior, not me.). I also seen many people buying, selling and repaired swiss watch there. The people there even told me that they can repair touby! With regards to that claims, I just listen only.

Well, just for record, I work as tech in local uni.

depending on what watch you want to consign though. some brands and models, dont want to take it. tried before.

Correct +1 for sexy girls there else.............u know i know we know.

for links, it is hard to say it is new or pre-own. even buy from RSC, we take it as it is brand new. cause they not allowed to sell used parts.

if it new, how they get their hands on one. im curious.

also curious to know if the pieces they are selling are brand new? if it is, is it local or overseas set. cause it will make a difference.

For this we all know the behind story, controversy.
