Damn!!!!!

Got a call from Rolex UK on Wednesday to let me know my 5513 Sub was ready for collection after service, but I can't collect it for 2 weeks as I am not in the area.
Damn that smarts!
I had trouble waiting for the call, but to know it is ready and I can't have it is painfull
I'll post some pictures on collection of before and after.

I will keep my eyes peeled for the pics!

How much was the total for the service, please?

What needed to be done with the 5513?

Bo,
The total price for the complet service is £231 GBP.
It needed a new stem tube as the crown didn't screw down as smoothly as I would have liked and the lugs had been polished to round instead of bevelled, so I wanted the case brought back to as new.
It was running fine, but it is better to be safe than sorry isn't it.

Thanks, Mark!

The price equals the "normal RSC service price", so that is well done!
