Has anyone used Rolliworks for basic servicing? Were you happy with the results?

166710LN? That's a new one on me. Did you mean 116710LN?

It's weird being the same age as old people.

A very legitimate question

Wear and enjoy, have fun, and yes over the years if a defect is discovered get it solved by the factory. Keep enjoying over the years, wearing, having fun. All good.

Before selling, send it to the factory for service. This way it's as new plus comes with a factory warranty for the next owner.

But yes, eventually servicing does play a part over the decades. On the other hand, am purposefully 'torture testing' a first-release 2007(?) Bell&Ross BR03-92 with ETA movement. Rotor noise is kinda creeping in. Now 17~ years old and still keeping +/- 4 sec/day accuracy. Waterproofness is probably not good tho. No plan to sell, ever.

As I’ll keep this one for a long time probably the next service 5-10 years from now will probably be $5K. Lol.

Note that if you don’t polish it’s 160 less.
