Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Here is my 1675 from 68, new serviced. The watch is just polished ones i think and it was a light polish then. I need to buy a proper camera so i can take good pics! And here ia what i got back from the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Odd that the barrel & so many wheels & other components were replaced. Did the watch take on moisture or were you having trouble with the watch before the service? In any case, the result looks great. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Yhea she was realy giving her last breath. But the plexi/crow/tube/rotor looks good and i never had any trubbels with the crown/tube but they replaced them also. Plexi is in great condition! The hole serviced costed me $1100. NO she was tight as a clam, no water damage or moister! Wonder what i will get back when i pick up my 5513 on friday Edited November 11, 2013 by Ezelturkish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 $1100 .... Wow That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ditto above. That is a bit high & I would question the need to replace some of those parts if the watch was functioning. The mainspring, tube/crown & plexi are typically replaced at every service, but unless the barrel/wheels have missing or badly worn teeth, I cannot see why they were replaced?

Rolexman Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 ServiceCenter rule: if it looks funny, replace it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I suspect it was an indy service because Rolex does not return parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It is a real rolex center/AD. One of the oldest in my town, and they always give you back the parts if you ask them to!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I was not aware that any Rolex AD or service center is allowed to release old parts anymore. Every (serious) Rolex owner requiring service should their watch to your AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Allowed!?! I dont know the rolex service rulles. But i know that in my service centar/Ad if you ask them to give you the old parts back after the service then you get that. I also know a service Centar in Munich/Germany, that also does this!

Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I dont know if you can see it from the picture. But the watch is starting to losing some lume, the "9" marker is almost gone and the "6" marker is also starting to think the same way! After a few days of reading here on the forum. I see that some of you have amazing skills! You guy's should work in a service centar ir maybe you do! But is it worth to give my watch a new lume work? Is the price dropping way to much if i did this? Im not looking to sell the watch, my uncle bought it brand new from rolex and now he gave it to me. So just two owners. It will be passed to my doughter. Edited November 12, 2013 by Ezelturkish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Trust me, your dial is worth a lot more if it's original and not relumed. I think it looks great! Here's my Snowflake, its genuine dial is pretty rough but I love it the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ezelturkish Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 You are probebly right. It has her charm, and the dial is never touched, funny thing is in some lights the dial look a little brownish. This is not my everyday watch i maybe have her on 2-3days a week. My 5513 is my everday watch its from 91 the last 5513 i think it was. Will post pic of that one when i pic it up from service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
