My day trip to RSC St James (UK)

Off I set to pop my poorly 116600 down RSC St James, would of turned it into a day out but as daughter still only 7 weeks old we decided I'll just take the round trip to get the watch sorted.

So I thought this thread will keep me busy during my trip

Even though I'm taking the SD as its way to big for my wrist I still needed a companion so my Daytona came along for the ride

Well I'm already on the train home! Great service by the nice guy at St James

A watchmaker came straight out and had a quick look and did agree it looks pretty jammed, off he went and within 20mins he returned with it all completed. He did say they had a special tool to locally heat the screw/link and release the screw. They replaced the screw as I had slightly rounded the head FOC a nice little touch which I guess they always do he returned the watch wound and time set.

Only down side was I had damaged the screw head of my Rolex SD screwdriver which he said they don't sell the heads for only the complete tool however without showing him a SD which the tool kit would of came with he couldn't sell me another

But that's minor as I'm over the moon with my new 116600 on my wrist, and I was having feeling of seller remorse letting my 114060 go but must say this SD does for me sit better on my wrist and I prefer the lug to bracelet profile. But I am thinking a 114060 maybe an ideal nato watch.

Anyways here's some more pics for you

Nice fresh morning outside St James



Nice Rolex decor, I didn't take a pic but they had a watch magazine on the table which clearly advertised the Rolex DSSD clearance diver edition RRP £18,000 thought this one was a hoax?

Inside St James



And the best until last my 116600 on its way home all sized and in full working order.

Got to love the raised crystal

Top people and great service.

They fixed one of my unusually poor adjustment efforts back in January.

Yep! My wife did look at me funny when I said I needed to take both for the journey.
