Turnaround time would normally be approximatey 3 weeks. However, in peak months (mid summer) and up to Christmas, expect longer turnover times.
If you have RSC service it, expect a Rolex back that looks like new in box. Cost would be around 400 US Dollars. I don't know if you know the Oyster Quartz Site? If not, I can highly recommend you that site where you can learn a lot about those interesting watches. Please post "before and after service" pics!

For sure your watch will come back in like new condition. The RSC has really done a great job in restoring the 1675 I own.
It took them about a month to service the watch but it came back looking like it did 30 years ago and it ran really accurate, well within the COSC specs. Expect your watch to be in excellent condition when you get it back. Hope to see some before and after pictures.

RSC pricing is $555. movement service and polish. $90. sapphire crystal. $42. pair of hands, $21. second hand, case-tube is $15. and crown is $39. Also if you want new dial its $225 w/trade in and if you need a new date wheel to match its $24. If you add all the above its $1,011. Substantial amount but your getting back a new watch. PS; USA pricing.
