Just saying hello!

Found the forum on a search for a maintenance facility for my watch. It is an old Date. Hello to everyone, and I would welcome info on a quality overhaul shop. Thanks,

Fnsane

Welcome to TRF, fnsane We're glad you joined the fun. As far as the overhaul is concerned, you can't go wrong with a Rolex service center

Hi fnsane, welcome!

Would it be possible to post a pic of your watch? Might make it a bit easier to figure out the best way to go. Maybe a model number or year?

Usually RSC is the preferred way to go for a complete service and polish. Depending on the model and year your watch may fall under their guidelines for service.
Another is a good watchmaker that's Rolex certified with a parts account. Depends if you can locate one in your area your comfortable with.
A third alternative is one of the two independent authorized Rolex service centers in the U.S.---One in San francisco or Chicago.

Hello, fnsane. Let me add my welcome to our merry madhouse. Glad you found your way over here.

As for service, Mike has given you some good pointers. If the watch is less than 50 years old, RSC would be the best place to send it to get top quality service.

Sorry I can't help you with recommendations for a local service facility in your area. I think we have some other Atlanta members around. Maybe one of them will be able to point you in a good direction.

But please stick around and keep posting.
