I took my watch into our local AD today for repair. To get a new crystal and bezel insert fitted will cost me $200 US. They did not insist I have it serviced and said it would probably be ready by Monday. Not bad service.

They did say that if they did not have the insert in black, they would order one. Joking I said "Just fit a blue one." The guy in the shop was most perturbed and said "Rolex would not allow us to do that." I had to explain I was not serious.

Good news, Adrian. But wouldn't it have been even funnier if you had asked for an orange bezel??

Worse, they would have taken the watch away and refused to give back, for even considering such a defacing abomination.

Well Adrian think I would have waited until service was due .About 6
months ago Rolex Uk quoted me £65 for a crystal.And please do not mention
anything about bezels and anything orange again.

Uncle-AJ · 11 September 2005, 02:23 AM

Just got a call from my AD. My watch is ready and I'm off for a quick shower before going to pick it up. I only took it in on Thursday and the shop was closed yesterday. There some advantages to being in Saudi Arabia after all.

padi56 · 11 September 2005, 03:21 AM

Bloody hell Adrian that was quick,but they still flog and execute people
there so would expect better service.

Uncle-AJ · 11 September 2005, 03:41 AM

I'm now sat in Starbucks with my watch on my wrist. The new crystal does make a big difference. As soon as I saw it, it was off with the Panerai (sorry Daren and John) and on with the Rolex. I think they have given it a bit of a polish as well because it looks great.

alpet · 11 September 2005, 03:54 AM

Glad to hear that its back on your wrist Adrian!
Dont forget to keep it away from dimonds next time!!!!!!!

Uncle-AJ · 11 September 2005, 04:01 AM

I'll try Alex.

Only men, and then men of our stature, can get giddy over a watch crystal. Holy crystal Batman, look how it shines! Ha, ha, ha, ha,

Enjoy, today I fondled a Sea-Dweller and got weak in the knees by the texture of the stainless steel alone. My wife stood there completely baffled and she is used to this kind of madness, I can tell you!
