The additional repairs will run it up to a $600 bill. Does this seem reasonable? Is this the going rate of repair?
Milius, that is the going rate, but that stuff about the hands is typical BS.

Any good competent watchmaker will be able to service and seal your Rolex. Best of luck mate, hopefully some of our Cali people can help you out a bit more.

Welcome to TRF, please stop by and post often.
