Greystash Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) I rang up a Sydney (Australia) Rolex Service Centre in January and they told me their service fee for a SS Sub started at $800au. (That's about $750US) Edited May 10, 2008 by Greystash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertb Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Wow prices must have gone up! The last time I had a gen Rolex serviced at the Rolex NY service center it was $550 US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wonder if the 93160 is more expensive than the 93250 Sub bracelet. My AD charged me 590.00 pounds for a complete 93250 band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I saw rolex prices and 93250 in CONUS was 950$ 1 month ago. Here in Italy for a service they charge 400 EUR too, but the worst thing its that if you want i.e the crystal to be replaced, or the dial swapped etc.., they have to service the whole watch. You cannot just buy or replace spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 That damned Ziggy, keeping his prices so low he is always booked out! Agreed!!! But I couldn't send my watch to Canada ...so I still hope he will move to Paris soon... For a steel bracelet? Hmm... that's reasonable. Indeed, for a steel bracelet fitting a dinosaure wrist I wonder if the 93160 is more expensive than the 93250 Sub bracelet. My AD charged me 590.00 pounds for a complete 93250 band. Well, it's in the same range. So, I'll keep my rep ones just in case I need a new bracelet for a gen Rolex I saw rolex prices and 93250 in CONUS was 950$ 1 month ago. Here in Italy for a service they charge 400 EUR too, but the worst thing its that if you want i.e the crystal to be replaced, or the dial swapped etc.., they have to service the whole watch. You cannot just buy or replace spare parts. Here in Belgium, when you ask for a service and tell them "pls do not polish it" they look at you like if you're insane ... So, I called them back to say ok for the service (and NO for the bracelet) and the girl remembered my request "oh, yes Sir, we'll try to not polish it ..." I guess it will come back fully polished though Anyway, if I had to keep only 1 watch, it would be the 16600...so a very expensive service @Rolex seems like an investment for the next 10 years.

Toadtorrent Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Agreed!!! But I couldn't send my watch to Canada ...so I still hope he will move to Paris soon... You wash your mouth out with soap, and go to your room Stephane...them's fightin' words!! Yup...AD servicing is brutal...but...but...why can't my $5 rep bracelet feel like the $950 gen???? >insert whining< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Just don't anyone complain about The Zigmeister's prices after seeing this, it's just shows how lucky we are to have him. Ken So who has complained? Besides, I (and I am sure many others) have more confidence in The Zigmeister's service than just about anyone elses. Heck, my father just had his Rolex serviced by an AD. I tried to dissuade him, but it was already too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robj Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have a president and since I bought it 4 years ago it has never been more accurate than 10 minutes a month and has been back to Rolex 6 times for calibrating and resetting. So it seems that AD servicing is a scam at the money. In desperation I took it to a guy in Bangkok who sells loads of genuine rolex bits and repairs them cost me $60 for a full case polish/service and timing now runs at to within 3 minutes a month!

watcher Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 My local AD does the servicing in house using a qualified Rolex technician. I had to find my bill but I had my Sub serviced in 2006 and it cost 175 pounds including the bracelet refinishing and the case polished only where it should be. He also told me that some people in the trade were no happy with the refinshing work from Rolex BexleyUK and standards have certainly slipped there.
