Rotor isn’t moving and can’t wind it, so it’s gone in for a service with Rolex. I’ve had it for over 10 years and it hasn’t been serviced, so a service is well overdue, but £1,010 still stings. 🙈

On the bright side, probably stings less than if you had dropped it on a rock 🙈🙊#toosoon

Painful, but at least you get a little Rolex chocolate with your coffee 🙂

I love a good 5 digit Sub, but my SKX is nearing 20 years, scuba dives on the regular and hasn’t been serviced once (apart from gaskets for diving). And when the 7s26 goes, I can throw in a brand new NH35 for less than a dinner out. It’s those details combined that really make it my all time beater watch, serving on my wrist 95% of the time.

My sub has been in for a repair at a RSC and 3 months later, I'm still waiting.....

Ten years of daily memories makes the service story part of the watch’s history too. Will you share what was replaced and what was preserved when it comes back?

Like an expensive brake service on a vintage 911… money well spent, my friend. Hope the Kermit comes back feeling brand new.

1000 £ seems quiet high (I don't have a clue of prices in UK)? you don't know independants in the nearby ? I just made a complete overhaull of my 40's universal genève uni-compax chronograph with a 285 for 800 swiss francs 😅

Would you not have considered any of the quality independent watchmakers? Genuine question not a zing. The issue at the big house is turn round. By the way team of guys doing the rounds at Mappin and Webb showcasing service was very interesting
