16610LV Submariner Serviced by Rolex
I just received my 16610LV back from a Rolex Service in Dallas. It was away approximately 7 weeks. That was the longest 7 weeks I can remember! This is my favourite Rolex and I am really glad to have it back. Rolex did an amazing job!
It was returned with a lovely green pouch, a cleaning cloth, booklet and an international service guarantee card. I have been asked several times if I would sell Kermit but I could never part with it. Here is a photo of it with my BNLR GMT II. |

Love both, especially the Kermit. Looking good. My 14060 is at RSC NYC now and I can’t relate to the impatience.

And to go with long wait, I have to admit I was a bit nervous that it was out of my hands which was probably a bit silly on my part. The original estimate was the end of November but it ended up being quicker. |

Love those 2! I have them both as well..��
Wondering how much was the cost for servicing the Kermit?

I am not sure there is a standard price for the servicing but I was given an estimate of up to $1,100.00 but once it was examined in Dallas, the actual quote ended up being $775.00. I was nervous Kermit was gone so long but they did a beautiful job. I can't stop looking at it!

Just a normal cleaning?

Nice. Did they keep the original bezel or offer to replace?

I told them not to replace the Bezel as it has a scratch in it. I worked hard to get that scratch! The scratch is still there. I want to keep the history and patina of the watch. The dealer is a Rolex only dealer so they also said "Don't replace the bezel"

wondering if the Kermit with Flat 4 scratched bezel will be replaced with a none Flat 4 bezel under normal Rolex service standards. is the Flat 4 Kermit worth more than none Flat 4 kermit in the used market?
