Hi there. I like your NickName very much Can I guess you are speaking spanish ? If so, well Hola too Cheers, Stephane

Hi from Belgium and a warm welcome here. As LordRasta says, feel at home here. Cheers, Stephane

Hi and a warm welcome to RWG. Don't worry, we're all new...and learn every day. I'm sure that you'll enjoy your time here as this community has a lot of knowledge to share. Cheers, Stephane

That is a surprise for me. From here I look at the US like a paradise for friendly service. I guess ADs are an exception then.

I think I'd take some too

Thanks again guys. Monsieur Euno, I asked the AD about not servicing old watches. They were very surprised and said that here Rolex will service any wacth if they have spare parts. They added that if they do not have parts they go to "restores", watchsmith outside Rolex specialised in restoration as they have a lot of old parts they keep jalously. Cheers Stephane

Hi all, Nobody started a topic yet Ok, here we go Cheers Stephane

Excellent ...1999-2000 we're brothers almost

Well, I doubted about service as the professional seller and collector who my 16600 comes from had a different opinion. He told me "why would you service a watch if it's running fine? You are the only second owner!" I saw some of his watches (1655, even a double red for sale at 37.5K

@ Condemore. Wow, ok the watch is great but man your photos are just incredible. Are you a professional photographer ? Congrats and sincerely thank for sharing. Cheers Stephane

Gents, Seriously...come on... Which is the best? WM9 or Euromariner? MBK or TW ? Joking. If Tribal and Chris say: "It is the same CASE" then it is !!! Cheers Stephane

Dear All, Needless to say I love Rolex. At least their steel sports watches that is. Rolex is probably the most hated or loved brand in the world. I am an enthusiast person and developed a strong love-hate relation with the brand. After 4 months of wait and some serious misunderstanding with the AD, my Sea Dweller 4000 (16600) is finally back on my wrist. So I did monitor this one, freshly serviced by "professional" watchsmiths. I was curious, sarcastic even, and thought "Hey, it's going to be completely out of COSC standards. Well. No. Actually it runs perfectly in my humble opinion, surely much better than before: 36 hours: -2 seconds 48 hours: 0 60 hours: 0 72 hours: +1 96 hours: -4 These figures doesn't take in count how much hours a day I was wearing it neither how much hours I was sleeping and the watch was sitting on a table. So I can declare that they did a great job, at least to the movement (polishing, ...I'm not to sure they were very inspired). The two only other watches in my collection running like that are: - Ziggyfied Pam 196 (previously owned by Kruzer and serviced by Ziggy) - Tribalised Submariner from Wactmaker 9 (allthough I think Tribal did not serviced it, which is even more surprising). I can't talk about my vintage ones as I have no record for them and they were not serviced anyway. Thanks for reading what is a nice surprise to me as this was my first ever gen serviced. As Ziggy often said in the past: a good service is never a bad idea Cheers Stephane

Very interrestin story that you share here Tribal. And what a weird watch it is with a white dial
