I think my watch falls into this area. It is a 16800 case.. I am the original owner.. after service 6 months ago.. and vacation last week.. water somehow got in :-(. Now I am on the hunt for a new face (or good resurfacing company) and a new date dial. Who should I go to for the face resurfacing?

Thanks,

Ed

Time Delay in Dallas might have a new dial, or they can have it refinished like new.

I'd go for a new dial and hands...they'll go too eventually! That's what happened to my Expy II!!

It's not as expensive as you think...and looks better that a refinish job!

Ed, I would send it to one of the Rolex Factory Service centers and get an estimate.

Those parts that are ruined should be replaced with genuine Rolex parts......

Obviously a rolex should never let water in. I think the service you did 6 months ago wasn't done properly. Maybe they opened it up and didn't seal it or pressure test it properly. They should be responsible!
