Anyone have to send one back? I got one handed down from the ol man and I need t get it fixed.

Anyone ever sent it back to one of the Rolex Service Centers? Was it worth it to have Rolex fix it clean it, etc?

^ no need to send it .

I get mine serviced at a local Rolex dealer.

wheel,

and,

it is good to have the gaskets replaced every few years.

just look for a local watch Co. that deals with rolex

And yes it is worth it to get it serviced.

anyone have an extra?? I just broke my Movado & timex and need a new kick around peice.

Timex , throw out when batteries die buy new one for 20 dollars ..

It's definitely worth it to get it serviced, but I wouldn't trust just anyone who claims they can work on a Rolex to do the job. A local watch maker may say he can do it, but most likely he is farming it out to one of the few real pros in the US anyway. Might as well cut out the middle man.

Since it was handed down, I assume it's vintage. Any idea of the model #?

My other hobby is vintage watches, although I admit, my Rolex knowledge is lacking. Those collectors are a whole other breed.

Go to Rolex dot com and look for a dealer in your area.

There are dealers in Grand Rapids and Detroit. It will be a few hundred $$ to have it overhauled but worth every dime. An authroized dealer will either send to Rolex or have a certifed watchmaker on site to recondition your timepiece.

The same applies to all fine watches, dont let just anyone mess with them.

the answer is simple... Yes and no.. Is it worth it, NO, should you do it (serviced by a Rolex agent or Rolex) Yes...

Hope that helped

Any idea of what model it is?

Some of the vintage ones are worth a bunch. Some MOD issued ones are 6 figures if it's all correct with provenance.
