Just got my "F" LV back from service. A week with Rik at Time Care Inc, then another week at RSC Dallas to replace the "only done at Rolex" Green bezel insert.

Interesting that there is a satisfaction survey included...maybe someone from Rolex has been reading the complaints on the forums.

Im also, VERY happy with the job Rik did! Thanks Rik!

Looks great Christiaan!

Looks great. My GMT is being serviced by Rolex here in the UK. I won't be getting it back for just under three months

Hey Pal, looks great. I just picked one up another LV last week. Missed that one that I sold off.

jatco · 19 May 2010, 08:33 AM

That does look fabulous...!!

gmaines · 19 May 2010, 09:40 AM

That is a nice looking watch. I did not like them at first, but I really like them now.

I remember that.

Sold it for a Milgauss and could never get it off my mind. Last week picked one up, V serial. All is now well.

Jason71 · 19 May 2010, 12:12 PM

The only thing that could make that watch better is if Rolex had stuck to their guns and sold the first run with lug-holes.

Gotta love the LV though. Congrats on an AWESOME watch.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to have any "before" pics, would you??

rolexgolfer23 · 19 May 2010, 12:51 PM

Nice looking

To be honest, there was nothing cosmetically wrong with my LV other than a small scratch on the insert. I chose to have the service because it had never been done since I bought it. I removed the OE insert to keep and purchased a pre owned insert to use as the "exchange" insert. Here are a few pics from "before" the service...

Just like new!

wrxsti · 19 May 2010, 01:39 PM

I like when I have to service my watches it gives me good reason to buy a new one to wear while it's being serviced!

Beautiful, just beautiful

Christiaan - I'm glad you kept the original insert, as that is one of the important pieces to keeping the F-serial original and apart from the rest! Love the flat "4"!

Looks fantastic Christiaan! Glad she is back on you wrist.

walds11 · 20 May 2010, 08:03 PM

Received my Sub 16610 Y serial back from Rik last week. It looks frigging brand new. Rik did a great job finishing the case and bracelet back to a factory finish. The watch is running great so far. Just over two weeks door to door. Not bad, eh? I HIGHLY recommend Rik Dietel of Time Care Inc
