Again, you must have a hard time understanding logic

Whenever you do whatever you do.....I’d choose RSC.

Rags · 22 March 2019, 07:33 AM

Send it in to RSC & get it done, when its returned it will look brand new and have 2yr warranty.

This is a no-brainer.

The RSC is 750 and that comes with the watch/bracelet refinished to Rolex standards, plus whatever else you want.

Why would you save 50 bucks on a service, but then get hosed 350 for a refinish, and still not get your insert ??

My concerns over quality vs price I guess! But from the comments RSC Dallas is looking better and better!

rushca01 · 22 March 2019, 08:30 AM

That one needs to be saved! The finish on the top of the lugs looks all wrong.

lorsban · 22 March 2019, 09:58 AM

I had this exact problem.

RSC is THE best option. But I'm impatient so...

RSC didn't do that tho. But, I am bringing it to them next month because the watch is running slow.

Like I said, I'm impatient haha

Noted. But before and after nonetheless. I see why OP is frustrated with it. But my BLNR has a nick on the case and it bothers me. But not to send off and be without it for an extended period of time.

Nicks and scratches are fine to be honest.

It's just that this watch has clearly been modded off-spec. That's what bugs me.

I would've walked away if it weren't so cheap.

I feel the same regarding service. I need to fly to the place with rsc and wait till I have business there again. I'm not just gonna fly out to get this thing serviced haha

It seems like it was clear to everyone here but you.

Me myself and I haha

I DO NOT recommend DIY to anyone. I'm just a little nuts.

Brushed finish is a lot of work. Made harder when the grain is wrong. And this one in particular was cut deep so I had to do a polish first prior to actually brushing it vertically.

Makes me feel better because this is very light polishing! LOL you're a brave soul my friend

GarageBMW · 22 March 2019, 11:53 AM

RSC direct but the impatient fix is not bad at all.

Yeah I thought it was shallow too but the idiot cut it deep!

Turning PCL to brushed is fine but changing brush groove orientation? What the heck for?!
