How much does COSCing a watch cost?
How much does adding a COSC certification add to the MSRP of a watch?

it depends on the watch. There are COSC certified watched costing from $800 to... whatever but lets just say a rolex sub at circa $8000. it is probably worth $200 for that bit of paper really, but it prob adds-10-15% IMHO

Well first its only the bare uncased movement that sent to the COSC for testing not even dial hands or winding rotor are on movement.And for movements of Rolex size its around $120 each movement.But as Rolex is the biggest tester there and have there own machine to test the vast amount of movements expect they get a much better deal.And the certification is at time of testing only its just today IMHO purely marketing.
