Certification at RSC - will they tell u what need to be serviced

[taxico]

Hi,
I am looking to buy a preowned rolex.
When I send the watch for certification at RSC, apart from telling me whether the watch is authentic, will they tell me what servicings / parts needed to be replaced?

By reading the forum, I understand servicing or repair can be expensive.

don't always take their word for it and apply some common sense. if it's a new'ish watch and looks to be in good condition, it probably doesn't need much work...

if it looks like it's been to hell and back, and the insides grind and moan when adjusted/shaken... even if it's new, you could reconsider. but i usually leave them alone until something goes wrong.

RSC is a business and they may make declarations that helps to improve their balance sheet.

yes, they will also tell you if any parts need changing.

depending on watch, expect a service to be in the region of $700+
