Rolex

If u guys had the choice of the new DJ41. Fluted bezel black dial with diamonds. Would u go two tone or silver with white gold?

Maynard · 02-20-2018, 01:09 PM

Silver/wht gold seems kind of understated for diamonds-on-dial (but I confess I don't care for gems anywhere on a watch, so not the target audience).

On the tube in London. iPhoneX camera ftw

Ended up getting dj41 rhodium dial diamonds and jubilee bracelet in wht gold +ss. Looks like this ...not my watch since they are shipping it to me.

Have any of you guys/gals sent your Rolex in for service? I'm coming up on 5 years of ownership and trying to decide whether it's necessary. If you did, how long did it take and how much did it cost?

I did; 5 year service.

My servicing was a bit pricey (I think around $850 if I remember) because i had chipped the sapphire crystal and they needed to replace it.

Watch came back looking brand new (I actually had to check the serial number because i thought they gave me a legit new watch...)

I popped into Rolex's UK servicing headquarters this week in St.James' Square (London).
I wanted a price for my Datejust service.
Was told Â£500 GBP and would take 5-6 weeks.

My watch is 15 years old now, but service prices seem to have gone up considerably, I recall my last service in 2011 was 'only' Â£240 GBP, direct with Rolex too.

Although 5 years is the recommended, if your watch is keeping good time and there's nothing else you want looked at, I'd leave it a couple more years. Just my opinion, though of course some will want to keep in line with Rolex's guidance.

Not necessarily on topic, but I was at the St. James Rolex service center this week too!

I somehow bent the small link under the clasp and needed it replaced. Cost £63.24 and I had my watch back in 15 minutes. Friendly service center, and it was nice sitting and reading the Rolex and Tudor look books/catalogues!

That's for sure! haha (and they're actually nice too, unlike some of the staff in certain boutiques, who are a bit ... snooty (for lack of a better word)

just depends on how well its running.

I work on watches as a side business and ive had 20-30yr old rolex come in keeping great time and just needing a simple clean, lube regulate, and ive had 5yr old rolex come in needing a full service with movement parts replaced.

Rolex prices are ~$500 and 1-2 month turn around. Independent Jewelers are in the $300 range and usually a month or less. Just depends if it matters to you to have rolex do it or not.

Lol. Of course I am... watches, cars and lifting just a few of my hobbies. To be fair my watch hobby is something I do with my wife and daughter.

The lifting is my Me time
