Thanks for letting me know Dan. We took the watch to a Rolex dealer and asked for their advice. The bracelet was really stretched/worn and they advised us to get it serviced. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Wish I'd have known about this forum before we sent it off.

It is rarely cost-effective to service a watch for a sale, and especially not if you pay the exorbitant price charged by Rolex.
