Presidential Day Date advice
Should this go to the Dallas Rolex service center or should we have one of the Ridley's perform their magic?

Second Rolliworks in Miami. That needs a bezel recut bad and they will be able to take care of the rounded case and bracelet with a proper polish.

What's wrong with the bezel? You mean they will re-cut all the fluting? I don't know if it really needs it, but that seems like a crazy amount of work compared to just replacing it.

Yep, 100% you’ll be forced by RSC to replace that dial and anything else that may be aftermarket.

As others have said, RSC isn't going to touch it with the aftermarket dial, unless you replace it. The end links look aftermarket to me as well. You need to go independent for repair.

Yep I’ve heard they do that also. I wonder what they charge? A crispy authentic bezel can’t be over $400, is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's well under $350 to recut the bezel. This watch looks a mess anyways. It's gonna need some work

That is one of the fattest Day/Date cases I have seen in a while. I bet its never been polished.
