Just wondering...
If someone owns a 100k+ Submariner White Gold and send it in for routine servicing.
Will the servicing costs be the same as the Submariner Stainless Steel since both running on the same movement and only different case material.
Same goes for GMT Master II Full gold or white gold compared to stainless steel?
Gold datejust compared to stainless steel datejust?

The rule of thumb that I always use to gauge servicing costs is 10% of the watch's retail price...
But in this case, it seems illogical because irregardless of the different case material, the movements are the same.
Anyone?

Interesting question, and I thought I would ask since I was at RSC this morning.

Servicing goes by movement/range and not material of watch. So about RM2,1xx onwards for the Sub.

Off topic a bit  I know Rolex give lifetime warranty for the diamond setting on the GMT 2 SARU. Rolex will provide free replacement If the diamond dropped out.

Hi all,
I wanna send my Batman for polishing and refurbishing, as they are  alot of "calars" here and there.  Anywhere where to recommend for me to do this ?  appreciate it.

If you don't send to the authorized service centre, it will void the warranty..wouldn't it?

Sorry if I hijack this thread a bit. I want to have mine polished - can't stand the scratches I have made to my Steel Daytona. Any idea whether RSC will do this but not a full service ?
