Mailing a Rolex in for service.

[SteveSS]

I'm shopping to get a 90's 18K Rolex serviced. Locally $1,000. On the net more like $400-500. Has anyone used these internet service companies? What happens if you never hear from them and your watch is gone?

Try checking the fleaBay for watchsmiths who will service your watch. They are selling a servicing package for your movement and often case refinishing (if desired). You can check their feedback, and leave feedback for them once your watch has been returned.

I'd list it on your home owners insurance policy before sending it so you have some financial protection for shipping and the off chance that it's lost or or company disappears.

If it is a genuine Rolex, I’d take it to an AD and send it to RSC. My WG Daytona was $850 and the AD insures it for the full retain replacement price prior to sending should it go missing in transit. For the small savings sending it to an independent watchmaker, the risk and added hassle doesn’t seem worth it.
