Waiting on Service

Hi guys/gals -
Just a quick note to let you all know the 4 week wait (although painful) is worth it for the full RSC service. I bought a 1990 or so 18238 and sent it in for a full service. Now, this is my last Rolex so I did not care about polishing, etc - I even got a new dial, hands, and crown. I have a beautiful watch that will last me the rest of my days. I think that's a good Rolex story.

Great watch, some say the 18238 is the last great Rolex which was discounted around 2000
