Knarr Jewelers in Oakville. Top shelf service. Bought both my Sub Date and Day Date from them and it was first class all the way!

Glad you sorted this out!

Good news. That will teach you not to get it wet or play golf with it ever again.

The issue is that Rolex has marketed their watches by claiming a quality so high that you will pass it on as an heirloom. They do that to justify their inflated prices.
The truth is like all mechanical watches they break.

It's a very nice watch but like all luxury goods the price is intended to create a barrier to ownership so that not everyone can own one.

It's similar to the marketing of luxury purses. The price is not dictated by the cost of production.

I humbly disagree.

Rolex does not market as an heirloom. Patek does. They will repair any watch they've ever made. Rolex will only do so up until 25 it's after production has ended.

Rolex sells aspiration. The history is sold by forums.

The truth as I see it is that they sell 1,000,000 watches each year. A failure rate of .5% is still a lot of watches.

But they will warrant it and all will be well.

Stuff breaks.

Also, does it cost $7000 to make a Submariner? No. I don't know what it costs. But if you add r&d, marketing (they spent $60 mil last year) and all non production costs you get their price. Rolex is a non profit, crazy as that seems.

Rolex will service any watch they have parts for. RSC just gave me a quote for my 50yr-old Air King.

I knew I'd get it for that lack of clarity.

They're only -required- to service for 25. See below.

But yes - if they have the parts, they will do it. If they don't, they won't. Patek, AP and others will make them.
