I'm sure you can wear it as is until you decide it needs a service. The problem with that is that if the movement is dirty and improperly oiled, the longer you run it as is the more damage that will cause on parts and when you do have it serviced you will need to replace more parts.

I don't know what each watch smith charges or whom you would send it to, but the price will be approximately $150 USD. It would be wise to use some rolex parts during the service and that will add to the cost depending on how many and which you choose to use.

If I were you I would contact a smith and ask for specifics

I advise you to contact a locksmith before taking the rep so that I understand what I'll have to do? If using original parts to increase the security of the salt service? I would not like to spend too much money, specifically it is a 5 / 5,5k gen rep

I did not mean to spend anything, but I would like to avoid doing continuous services or repairs and get to $ 1000 for a rep which has a value of about $ 5000 gen

If you order it from dealer with Genuine Swiss ETA - on this one I "think" 2826 - it's well worth the investment.. money well spent

I ask you to apologize but I'm not very experienced. is it possible to buy the jf explorer with a clone movement and then mount an age from a watchmaker?

So anybody got theirs EX1 with an updated dial? I asked my TD about it and he hasn't heard anything about it. I'd hate to send my funds only to find out that there's still stock of the old dial version. Repworld do you have any information on the matter?

I’ve posted this comparison shot before, the E X is really not a big deal, the gen is very similar in this regard. More so the 3, 6 and 9 need improving to be thicker:

My friend got his QC pics a couple of days ago and the incorrect E X PLORER text was still there..so I guess there are still some pieces with this "flaw" left out there.

great observation here, the lume hour markers also has to be a fraction thicker, as they look too slim overall.

I initially thought this was the best factory Rolex rep. Bye after reading this I guess I was wrong.

Thank you. My friend has asked his TD if he can source an updated version, but they haven't made an update at all according to his sources.
