My 16610 is a D series from 2006. It shares wrist time with TT blue dial. For almost a year I could feel the rotor grinding inside from being too dry. I was pretty sure it needed work, but just avoided sending it in. The in-laws have a dealer just down the road. I decided to take it in over the holidays. They have a Rolex watchmaker in house. 27 days from when I dropped it off, it's back on my wrist. Man did I miss it!

Fortunately the overhaul cost was very reasonable. And, no parts needed. I was shocked since I knew it needed work so badly! I forgot what a clean, freshly polished Rolex looks like. Awesome!

For a YEAR the rotor "ground"?
I would be seriously concerned if "NO PARTS" were needed...
Not even a the stem, gaskets nothing??? Its 7 years old...

"a dealer just down the road"...
"cost very reasonable"...

Good Luck.

Sounds scary

Wow, that's for the vote of confidence guys. Maybe I forgot to mention the one year warranty and authorized dealer. Didn't realize AD's weren't allowed to be down the road.

Sorry I guess I typed what I was thinking w/ out any concern to how it "sounded"...but
I just went by what you said.

rotor was grinding for a year prior
Guy Down the road
reasonable overhaul
no parts replaced

All sound like an "oil and regulate" which scares most of us.

Now you say it was an "Authorized Dealer"...and heck maybe your "reasonable" is actually $600 bucks???
