Those costs should be built in to the initial quote

1) some TRF'ers do have stores.
2) several TRFers have responded Bob's didn't deduct anything and gave them full offer in this thread. Furthermore your idea is simplistic because they actually have to look at the watch as there are many dimensions of valuation beyond every watch needs a polish and service. A part could be aftermarket, their could be too few links, their may be undisclosed damage, water damage, threading damage, etc. They price by serial then price specific to the watch.
