Hi. So quick summary of my situation.

Have a two and a half year old rolex explorer ii 16570. The hour hand stopped working so I sent off to rsc.

They will either fix the problem for free and send it back. Or do a full service for $300 with new 2 year warranty.

I might flip the watch soon. Would you guys just do the fix or do you think it's worth it to get the 2 year warranty? Think I could get $300 more when selling for a watch with new warranty?

Thanks for any insight. Sorry this was in a previous thread but I thought I'd simplify it and get some fresh eyes to look at it.

freshly serviced would be good for the next owner.

mjclark32 · 29 January 2014, 01:25 AM

for $300, definitely

Gaijin · 29 January 2014, 01:26 AM

$300 is a great price for a service at a RSC.

mannyv11 · 29 January 2014, 01:29 AM

as everyone else has said take the service

dysondiver · 29 January 2014, 01:33 AM

service is a win , if you keep it peace of mind , if you sell it , big aid to selling... win win

Service.

Racerdj · 29 January 2014, 01:42 AM

Without question, I would spend the $300 for service.

iclick · 29 January 2014, 01:59 AM

That's really inexpensive for RSC, so I say do it. If you do decide to sell it the service record will be a selling point, IMO. I know when I bought my Daytona recently the RSC service completed last August was a big factor in my decision to buy it over something else.

I'd jump on a $300 Full service, no question.

cop414 · 29 January 2014, 02:02 AM

As said above I'd drop the coin and do the service.
