Serviced my vintage rolex 1024 at Asia Watch Centre in Kuching (the family members have certification from rolex for servicing) back in October 2015 for RM1,200. Not bad considering the prices mentioned here. Got the same watch serviced over and over again by the same watch dealer. No probs! Thank God

If Rolex do not sell parts, how do independent service centres service your Rolexes?

Good question, but being in Malaysia is it plausible that:

1) staff in the service centers are 'selling' parts from their inventory
2) the independent shops are swapping out parts from other watches to use

There was one story I recall from years ago, and authorized Rolex dealer in Georgetown Penang, they had one staff who is the only one there that had the knowledge to service the watches, but every time a Rolex came in, he would take off a part and replace it with some clone, in the end he could build a complete Rolex and sell that off. Not sure how true that is.

If Rolex do not sell parts, how do independent service centres service your Rolexes?

I'm still new in the mechanical watches and never been sent any my watch to service. For me, better to spent a few hundred more at the authorized service centre. The risk is far more from the independent watchmaker just to save a few buck. Beside ,  the SC will give 2 years more warranty and will responsible for any damage during the servicing process.

I prefer going through official service centres even though the cost is slightly more.

It costed me RM2000 to fully service my Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch at Wisma Goldhill. And I receive two years warranty after the service.

2. Polish second/minute/hour hands.

Not RSC but an senior watch technician that I knows since 18years ago.

I had my Submariner rolesor serviced and polished at Wing Wah Watch, Subang Jaya, back in January 2017.

I've bought a few pieces from them so I have a good relationship.

I believe I paid 1,250 or 1,350 for full service & polish and comes back with a 1-year warranty.
