Kermit Back From Rolex!!!

[Strad]

Just got my Kermit 16610V back from the New York RSC. Couldn't be happier. Returned in foam padded box with green leather carrying case and booklet. Looks new again. I had them replace the bezel insert which matches the original.

Of note this has the earlier D2 dial with the later B5 insert. The case has the serial number on both the six o clock side of the case and engraved on the rehaut.

I was charged $750 for a full service and $81 for the bevel insert.

Great work! Can you post a "before"-pic?? thx!

Fantastic!

Looks great! Glad to hear it’s back for you to thoroughly enjoy

I don't have any pics of the bracelet. It had the usual scratches. None too serious. The case had some dings on the back and a couple of small scratches on the bezel.

I sent it back because I had it for 10 years without service and it was losing time. It is now more accurate. I haven't measured it much yet!

looks great!

Good to know the insert only worth $81 in Rolex's view, while people paying thousands for the difference:-)

I don't think you can change from black to green unless you had an original green.

looks perfect.

Still kicking myself for not buying one when it came out ,but didn't have the money then .

Looks great !!

Exactly! Or those saying a certain shade of green is more valuable. Ridiculous.

[schoolboy]

Looks really good!

Gosh, $81 for the insert?

I bet ceramic coats more than that

Would be interesting to know how accurate it runs after a service. Mine will probably need servicing in the next year or so.

What was the turn around time? I'm in need of sending mine in for service as well. I'm the opposite though, just service the inside, I want to keep my faded bezel insert and oddly enough enjoy the scuffs and scrapes.

Did you pick NY over Dallas for any reason?

[iTreelex]

glad you got the full service OP and didn't buy in to the "no polish" nonsense. It looks amazing. Enjoy it for another decade!

Looks great!

such a great watch. Did they return the replaced bezel?

[Yess]

Yeah, this is always a contentious issue. I realise why Rolex won't give you certain items back (you can make a Frankenstein piece -- maybe!!). But they are also your property and you have to pay for the new items.
