The yachtmaster is a great watch and it is on my future list. too bad that it is underestimated as a watch and not too many people buy it.

Service should be around 400-500 $ give or take. The delays vary so much that it's hard to say. Some people on here have waited up to 10 weeks.

The original warranty was 2 yrs

Hey lucky,

Service time varies, but in my experience it's been about 3 1/2 weeks. (though I'm hearing much longer waits in the UK recently)

Pricing is about $450 to $500 USD depending. Your watch would be brought to orginal specs. and will look almost new! Nobody does case work like RSC in my view.
Along with that will come a one year international warranty and paperwork. Service boxes in the U.S. are--ah, cheap!

Here's a scan of one of mine with the bits,

Lucky,

Original warranties in the US are 2 years.. Frequently if you buy new, the Dealer will add their own warranty to it and you might have 5 years...2 with Rolex and an additional 3 with the Dealer. In either event, if you are the second owner, you probably do not have any warranty.

The service box is a bit smaller and flat, but nice. well, OK, cheap.

Here's what you might see from time to time.

Service box is to the left with the lid at the bottom, a green tag, lower right is usually included. New 1 year warranty is at the upper right.
Center manual and document wallet are separate items..
