Cost of a service

[millmax]

Took one of my Yachtmaster in to be serviced today, OMG £590, ($890 approx) bear in mind I took my blue faced yachtmaster for a service less than 12 months ago to the same place and the price was only £330 ($498}. Bit of an increase?? Whats your thoughts, fair? or am I being Spanked

spanked If you need no parts it seems as though $900 for service is excessive. Maybe try and find a reputable independant watchmaker.....

Fair and Rolex don't often collide in the same sentence. It is what is is unless you go to an independent.

I would go to an independent but I do have trouble finding one in my area thats been recomended, on top of that it's a 12 week wait

They didn't even wear a mask when they robbed me

I just spent $787.17 servicing my GMT at the RSC in Manhattan and it came back with a small nick that wasn't there when I took it in. Luckily I have this forum and I took photos of my watch to show it off when I got it and photos yesterday when it came back. The nick wasn't in the pre-serving photos, but is there in post. I live in Manhattan, I called RSC and they told me to bring photos and watch so they can have a look. I put the photos on a CD and seeing how it's digital I have time and dates of before and after. I'm sure everything will be okay and regardless of the nick, my watch looks beautiful! They did an amazing job.

I will agree when they come back they do look top $$

I will be highly curious to see the resolution to their error. Please post results after RSC evaluates the situation.

Except that if they polish it out you have used up one of your "polishings" or otherwise given away case dimension. I have heard nothing but bad about RSC-New York!
