Wow, that is stunning!

Did they do a service or just a polish?

Are they comparable in price to RSC’s $700 fee?

I’m looking to service a few watches soon and am considering not sending the,pm to the Rolex Servie Center

They are comparable and you essentially get work equal to the best of RSC. Unless you need the RSC warranty card for resale LAWW is a great option.

With RSC you might get some rookie who screws up your watches. With LAWW that isn’t possible.

Feels like I should be saying congrats on a new watch. That looks so crispy. I'd be hesitant to wear that thing it's so pretty.

LAWW refinished my 16710 as well, the chamfers and the lug holes are perfect!
