servicing my first rolex, a1984 gmt master 16753 ......a bit complicated....

[DrTom]

hi, first of all, i know i should have kept it original, but the rootbeer bezel and dial had faded so bad, i had an ad in vancouver replace the bezel and dial around 1999...in about 2011 i sent the bracelet off to a guy in hong kong to overhaul it, did a great job, michael something.... anyway its a ttoned jubilee and i havent serviced the watch in a long time, still runs well but its overdue.
questions: do i take it to the local ad and send to rolex through them? Do i send to rolex canada directly? In a perfect world id like to restore it to its original rootbeer status but can that be done? Do i get the replaced parts back (doubtful?) Do i have them polish it (i know the patina but if new parts wthell)
What about the band? its a bit loose (like everything else :) )
Sorry for not being up to speed on this but really appreciate any advice.
thanks
tom

If you’re sending to RSC remove the band and bezel insert. If you’re hell bent on getting new ones and keeping the old it’s going to cost you.

I presume you’d take to your AD to send to Rolex.
