Very expensive... Well I was thinking on the line's of quite a few Hundred pounds. But we're talking well over a Thousand mark I was no where near.
As to RRP well it's not available. but I'm sure it would be down to who you know in trying to obtain one as it's only intended for AD's. |

I was told just under £3500... OMG... I quite agree with the other comments. For that money you would seek another Rolex to add to your own collection. After all the purpose of the lovely toolkit is to adjust your links and aid polishing. |

The screwdrivers are beautifully made, and are torque screwdrivers, they are not cheap by themselves.

I have used my ADs kit and it is really sweet!! We didn’t discuss the price I just said that is a pretty big tool box for such a small lady and we laughed.

A very kind lady in selfridges Rolex boutique allowed me to see this case and the tools. They felt top draw quality when she told me it was worth £3.5k my jaw did drop somewhat. But then again after seeing the quality of the tools it did make me think. But only thing we as owners would really ever need is the loctite 1.6mm screwdriver and Bergeon link removal tools, no? Slightly cheaper to get on their own lol

Just a small amount of tools for salespeople, nothing fancy. What do ya think a Fathometre II costs?

Honestly if I have several Rolex in my collection, I won’t mind splurging for a proper Rolex toolkit that scream “FANBOI”.
