RSC vs Rikki

The price for a Submariner service was $600, which included a new mainspring, complete disassembly & cleaning, examination for worn parts, lube & reassembly, COSC timing, pressure test, case polish, and band refurb (all the normal stuff during a service). Turnaround time for me was two and a half weeks.

They will accept mail, but, you have to use brown packing tape. I sent a watch in using clear tape and they refused it. I called them and they said they would only accept packages using brown tape.

Any watch from my GMT 16700 or newer, RSC BH. For vintage, ABC Watchworks.

And who told you that nonsense to time a watch with a machine is quite a simple task even I can do it in under 10 minutes.Now to fully strip down and clean, oil, and re-assemble a movement now that's a different story that takes real skill.
