Is it true, that rolex service changes parts of your gen Watch?

If Rolex could pound you with a strap on they would, and bill you greatly for this

I've pinned this thread, with any luck it may save some folk the heartache.

200% people get burned, I’ve heard of even the watchmaker working for Rolex On the watch keeping the parts and signing off they were destroyed

I was charge over $150 for just the hands. Breitling, Rolex, Patek, etc. These companies don’t do stuff for nothing. If it’s out of warranty, you pay.

Ap is pretty good about that, iwc too, some stuff they’ll do on the arm

Yesterday I got a qutation from one of the 3 AD of Rolex here in Sweden. My old Explorer 2 1655 from 1972, 280$, never been serviced before. They asked for at least 2000$ and 6 months. Trouble with locking crown. They do not any repair without a service.

yes, it’s crazy. I talked to a few others but they don’t touch Rolex.

You never really "own" a Rolex, You just have it on loan, it always belongs to the company.
Here´s a guy that is really happy with his "RSC-ruined" 1963 pcg 1675 ex-all-original - it really looks +- like any other new watch now.
Even the Bart-dial has gone (well, somebody had already done a terrible lume-job on it)

Wow, great video. I know I'm late to the party with your video, absolutely stunning!
