Maintenance on a 14060m??

Any advice on maintenance on a 14060m? I'm not talking about cleaning etc but more along the lines of having to send it into Rolex somewhere along the line.

How much would a trip to Geneva cost and what is usually done? And how long does it take? Thanks!

You don't have to send it to Geneva. Send it to RSC-Dallas when it starts showing signs of needing service. Runs about $600 if just a normal service.

Just send it to RSC for routine service if it is due of course or gives you a reason to.

IMO, Rolex are gnerally simple, well designed movements that are not difficult to service properly. Any well trained watch guy who has access to Rolex parts can do a fine job. I live in Dallas and work about 3 miles from RSC but use two local shops for routine service.

X2. To answer two of the OPs question. Service is usually $600ish+parts. Takes 6-9 weeks usually on the shorter side. I don't have a problem with independent watchmakers but send it to RSC you get a little bit of a warranty and it comes back looking almost brand new.
