RSC charges for quotation WEF 1 aug 2012

[miniUltraman]

I tried, the oni information thats free is: servicing starts from $850, anything that needs replacement or needs to have an actual quote will not be free... and yes, servicing fees went up too... for a datejust now mininum servicing starts from $850...

Wow... datejust minimum servicing starts $850?? Holy Molly.. I have just serviced my Explorer in RSC in Feb and it is $790 for sports model. Datejust should be cheaper? I was just thinking to send my wife's ladies datejust for regulation.. running 5 mins faster every week.. and that will cost me $850!!! *faint*

she was implying that because it is a manual wind, it required frequent oiling and an automatic winding watch did not require oiling. that was what i found very wierd.

from my experiences anything mechanical tend to need oil (not just watches!!)

Regarding oiling, I recalled someone cited from Internet World that Watches make from
year 2008 onward or so....no oiling required....

Oh, based on what you had mention, what she is saying doesn't make sense. But nvm. Have a great day. Cheers

hmmm.. called them last month to enquire about servicing cost (which has been raised, tt we all know), and when i asked further on whether do i need to actually service the watch (as i booked in 2nd hand), they mentioned tt the watch will be assessed first foc and then they will advise accordingly. so, now they don't do this anymore?

I'm guessing she mean that even if you wear your watch daily, a 6694 still require winding. But a gmt2c do not need any winding if it's being wore daily. I strongly believe that she has the knowledge in regards to a rolex watch on the needs of winding.

but be prepared for some B$.

the other day, i was told that only manual winding watches need winding. when i asked about the GMT2c on her wrist, she said automatic mov'ts no need to wind.

i almost rolled out of RSC laughing my ass off.

This should be F.O.C.

If still within warranty, whether it's chargeable to regulate the watch?

If I just ask them how much will they charge for overhauling say, a submariner, are they not going to tell me unless I pay $107??

I totally 100% agree with you. Some people share such ideas so openly...there can only be one outcome. Kiang ju hoe...mai kay kiang.

Agree. Some ppl here just can't wait to boast to the world how much they know while knowledgable guys like you take a back seat. What the world had become..

[Alexlow]

Personally, I think this' absurd! It's like you drive your car to a car service workshop to get it checked for required servicing and repair, and you get charged for it!!

Motor image charge by per hour for diagnostic if you don't use their service for repair.

[passion33]

They might not all be ROLEX watch lovers....so there is no passion/fire...merely a job.

I agreed :-)

If you know/learn to see, good. If you really is not confident, buy the seller. Don't just go for lowest price. At times, I prefer to pay a little more for peace of mind buying from reputable shops/dealers.
