How Long for RSC Toronto

Hey All,

What are people's experiences with how long the Toronto RSC takes to perform a service?

I've been waiting a month now and my patients just aren't good enough I guess. :)

Thanks for any input.

I've had three watches serviced at RSC Toronto. If it's a regular service it was in the 6 week range.

4-8 weeks is common.

fwiw, its worth asking an AD sometimes. their in-house rolex techs can sometimes have a quicker turnaround time with same warranty, papers, process like rsc.

Many ADs have Rolex-trained watchmakers that are part of the worldwide network of ROLEX AFFILIATE authorised by Rolex to service most Rolex watches.. And they follow exactly the same Rolex Service Procedure as any RSC,this is designed to ensure that every timepiece leaving a Rolex workshop complies with its original functional and aesthetic specifications.Plus you get exactly the same warranty and paperwork, but on the down side some will not be able to test watches like the DSSD to full water resistance.

Everybody on this thread seems to be pleased with RSC Toronto. Are they really that good? Much better than other RSCs in the USA?

Five weeks for a regulation when sent via an AD. Compare to 20 minutes when I stopped by there last week.

Yeah, they're great and extremely helpful. The weeks will fly by and you'll have your watch back as new.

Well according to one member on forum it must be true, as he posted it was a fact, and he thinks he is a very knowledgeable guy.

But to those who have a little knowledge about mechanical watches would know this is complete and utter nonsense and not possible.

Peter, I agree with you but if you follow my tip above and it stops on 32 then he's right.

If it stopped on 32 I would believe he was right too.
