4 watches for service

[divmat]

Hello everyone

I have 4 Rolex timepieces that may need servicing-

A ladies President 18K/diamond dial/diamond bezel.
A mens President 18K same.
A mens President 18K same, including diamond lugs, and oyster bracelet.
A mens President 18K plain, no diamonds.

I called the local AD and his jeweler happens to be out today.
I asked my friend who works there, what is the approximate cost of a 5 or 6 year service? He said some of the things they do are, replace all gaskets, main spring, re-lube with all the proper oils, put it on a machine to make sure it is keeping the correct time,pressure test, and refinish the watch to look as new. Were a few other things he said he can't remember he performs on the watches.

He said all parts would be genuine Rolex and would come with a warranty, although he does not know how long the warranty is. He said the approx cost is around $700.00 for each watch.
That's $2,800+/- it will cost me for all.

I asked him if he could give me a break on 4pcs, and he said normally they do not, because Rolex sets the prices. Does he mean that they send them to Rolex, or they do them in house? If they do them in house, then he should be able to cut me a better deal??

I guess I should have waited on this post until I talked to the jeweler but I thought before I visit, you guys could offer me your thoughts about it. I very seldom wear the watches, but they are all on winders, daily. Some have said you can go 10+ years without a service, but since they are being wound daily, what would you guys suggest? I can afford the service, but was wondering if this is about the normal rate? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Steve
