RSC St James- London

[rootbeer7]

In short, a wonderful service.

I telephoned this morning to ask about resizing an old folded link bracelet. Very helpful receptionist said to drop in (I’m only a few underground stops away) and let them have a look. They may be able to adjust it there, if not they could send to their jeweller in the Kent centre for a small charge.
Dropped in a couple of hours later and they had a look. Linda removed a link, gave it back to me in a little Tudor bag, telling me to keep it as they’re like gold dust now, and said I was lucky as she was the only one there who could work on these old folded bracelets. Confirmed that it also shares a case with the old 1019 Milgauss.
I left with a new service pouch too, and no charge either.
Truly fantastic service and vintage owners need not fear.

It’s nice to hear these stories of great service.

Interesting bracelet. Haven’t seen these before.

How is a link removed? It looks like you’d pry open the back of the centre link.

Purchased a black/ burgundy insert for my GMT II back in 2008 at Rolex St James. Great experience. Glad to hear your's was the same.

It’s a 7836. And yes, you open up the centre link. Apparently there’s a special technique so as not to damage the link.

I’ve used them quite a few times. Always great service. I’m guessing you flew over just to visit RSC London

Always a pleasure to visit St James’s RSC.

Had links fitted and links removed while you wait, and great service all round.

Sure, it's just over the pond. Rolex St James was high on my list as was the London TRF GTG we had, which was a blast.

Have you been since they refitted? It’s stunning now. Literally like a horological hospital.

Case, casebacks, crowns & bracelets all Rolex. Uniquely in this model the case is identical to the 1019 Milgauss & the movement in these are A Schild.

I was there about four months ago, agree, it’s stunning.
