Hi All, I was told today there is a 3 month waiting list and you have to leave your watch will Rolex.. Has anyone have any good or indifferent views on Rolex Service Centre Sydney?

What do you need to have done with your watch?

My wife's Datejust was running a bit erratically not that long ago and I took it into the Sydney RSC. I left it with them as they said the watchmaker needed to look at it after the movement had stopped.

I dropped it off on a Friday and picked it up the very next Wednesday. They demagnetised it and the watch has been running "perfectly" since.

Maybe it's a different story if your watch needs a full service?

Thanks Guys. As far as I know Nothing is wrong with it! It was purchased in 2005 116613 Sub Oyster Pep. Exactly as you see in my Avitar. It just has not been serviced yet.

I was actually going to call melb office if they are quicker?

Call J Farren-Price. Rolex AD with their own watchmaker, as I understand.
I also use Thomas Czibula of Expert Watch Repair.

I put my Tudor Prince in middle of last year at Sydney RSC and was quoted 3 months by them for service, it was ready to go at 2 months to the day, so I think they take the under promise and over deliver method, they do a good job but are neither cheap (no RSC are) or fast. I bought my SUB at Mansors in Auckland, they were very impressive and are the RSC for NZ, I am guessing they would be cheaper and quicker.

Okay. Now if I go to J Farren. Do I get any Garuentee and or if I go to rolex? Does servicing out side the official Rolex centre effect my watches value?
