Thread all abt ROLEX

[Richass]

Yes, they can transfer the tang/tang buckle over there. They got many tools to service watches over there

dont go those small watch shops, they might scratch your watch

roger that.. can they fix the dial also?

 

[KohChris]

wa how u see? I also dunno lol..

Can get it serviced together with the movement, once the watch accuracy is off or if it doesnt move

Let them see, evaluate and perform diagnostic tests...i might be wrong

Hey guys, I own a old rolex passed down from my dad, got quite a bit of scratches on the glass. Recently went online to find, it seems that for my model, it uses acrylic crystal. On ebay, I am able to find sapphire crystal but to replace it, anyone know where to go? And also a rough price? Thanks in advance.

Go jwwatch to change strap. $5.

If you buy their strap, strap change is free. Genuine leather straps there costs upwards of $39.

Anyone know where to change the strap for this watch and roughly how much?
I know its old already but its a gift from my grandfather so i would very much like to repair it.

second that of what kohchris said. i got mine rolex fully serviced at JW. their service is top notch. but got to wait quite a bit of time to get back cos i think they have many orders to fulfill. last time i waited 4 mths...

but if u just want to change strap, then shd be ok.

Dunn go and anyhow change the parts. Become rojak watch no value at all. U wan better polish the acrylic glass.

Anyone can share what model is this?

Is it valuble?

 

[KohChris]

Jwwatch have alot of experience.

Noob always makes mistakes. Experts don't. At jwwatch, the watchmakers are experts, not noobs

Plus 10 points if they are passionate about their work too.

 

[KohChris]

you can send to top hour too but i am not familiar with the quality of svc..

For jwwatch, the boss knows im a fussy guy so he will take particular care to baby my watches when its inside

For svc centers and boutiques, i can't be sure about the person who handles the end timepiece..

But i can tell you that from my experience, service ctr will not take extra care of your watches when its inside.

Your watch is like any other watch to them LOL

They got probably 5-8 technicians inside, and one will be assigned to your watch.
As for servicing the watch, have to see if you are heng or suay.

They won't do diagnostics as well. You have to tell them the problem.

Their watch service policy is aligned towards company's objective$, and not your objectives.


Btw, i have sent my older omega for bracelet link extension in their RWS boutique. My springbar got BENT when it came back.

Svc center is more expensive than jwwatch, for servicing

Its like going to family gp vs polyclinic gp

Unless its something jwwatch cannot do, then i will go to authorised service ctr

Ya, I did consider that but its more of a family heirloom watch.

 

[KohChris]

[derazor]

Rolex Centre ish de bestest place for your precious watch.
moi serviced mine there and it came back like brand new even though my watch is 25 yrs old.

 

[Oceania]

$280 for servicing and polishing with 1 yr guarantee. Yeah, they are quite reputable too.

Just to chip in that I was in the same situation as you a few years back, it was a datejust from my grand dad as well. I went with JW, and although it took awhile, the service is good, and slightly cheaper than Rolex Centre. Only thing is their opening hours can be a bit troublesome for working people.
