Yes, they can quote you an estimate before you decide to send it in for full assessment with a details quotation. If you decide not to proceed, you would need to pay $108.
This kinda vintage Rolex, to send into Rsc, what to look out for or tell them?
Daytona beach green Chrysoprase dial
I remembered sending my day date for servicing quote and they recommended to change the bezel, dial, etc and they will not return you the old parts so I did not proceed as I had lovely yellow Stella refurbished dial lol..
My only constraint with rx8 is turning yellowish if kee in the box for too long. If it’s yr daily beater then should be fine..
Feels like people who put stickers on their watch don’t actually own it. They keep it in good condition for the next owner (in this case, you).
hahaha!!
Ah ok, so u had to either take their suggestions or decide not to proceed? Or can you tell them pls just service the movement and don’t touch the dial bezels and don’t replace anything?
Ya I wonder if it will affect the watch itself after a long time, especially if it’s a good watch?
Ya I thought if one day need to sell, just a light polish should hopefully refresh it
Ohhh ok thanks for sharing ur experience and ur viewBuddy,
I had my Starbucks done with sticker protection with Gilbert. It takes around 1 hour. There’s a small sofa seat and you may sit there and wait.
I was told that I’ll need to wait for one day / 24 hours for the sticker to “settle down” after the stickers are well done onto the watch; there was a little bubble on the case upon finished and I thought it was a “poor” workmanship. Turns out that the bubble was settled after 24 hours.
I didn’t sit down there all the way because i had to take a dump
The intention of having the sticker for my Starbucks was because I want to protect from scratches. But now, there are small little dust around the edge of sticker areas. In my opinion now, I may not want to have stickers for the future watches..
But it’s up to individual lah~
if you had one RX8 before, you can try Gilbert / WS pro. Have a feel of different stickers..
100%. Everyone scare of resell value lol
Sell as is. Real collectors wants unaltered watches
Ya I mean like if the buyer wants to do light polish they can. I’ll probably sell as it is
I went Italy and the AD SA was wearing a Milgauss z blue which looks like it’s been to war lol. They really use it as a tool watch
Dun think can do that lol..
You hit the nail on the head. When I got my sub polished, the guy told me Singaporeans very fussy, some even ask how many grams of metal is lost during polish (which is very little) while foreigners don’t give two shits, just come in and ask for their banged up watch to be polished.
Frankly, it does not. I had it on my wg Daytona and it turned yellowish. I thought jia lut so went back to shop, the guy peeled off stickers, watch lug still good..lol
When want to sell, just peeled off the stickers..it is still unaltered watches lol..
It’s normal to have the bubble surfacing after watch is done. In 24-48 hours, it should disappearBuddy,
