How can watchdoctor make any profit charging 150 dollars to service and that includes return express shipping? I assume that include insurance as well. Maybe 100 dollars to clean, oil and replace rear gasket, mainspring and Case tube. My understanding is that acrylic crystals should be replace at service which appear to be optional here. I saw that he charges 30 dollars for crystal and installation. He only uses Rolex parts. If it takes 5-8 hours, that is around 100 -130 dollars a day if 100% of his time in on service. Rent, taxes, SS, insurance and utilities. Wow. Maybe his watch service is low volume and he main business is sales??
