Replacing a Rolex case.
I can think of a few instances where you need to replace the case.
Question is, would this act decrease the desirability of the watch? Would you buy a Rolex with a new case? |

Most likely yes it will decrease the value.

I bought my sub in "96". It has been serviced four times I think and it got a polish two or three times and the lugs seem thinner. I thought about a new case and was quoted about $2k.

Sounds about right, they are not cheap. Why some here adhere to the "no polish" rule at service time.
