Vintage 70s Rolex

Hi can any one help, I took my whatch to a repairs in Barcelona, and the Bezel, face and hand seem to have been replaced!

The look new!
It was taken in just to get it going again!
Should i worry about this as I'm never going to sell it, I'm just a bissed off as Iv had the watch for 37 years

Maybe he thinks hes doing a favor?
What you thoughts is there anything i can do, the Watch was at rolex 2 year before!

Here a photo

Did they itemise these replacements on your repair bill ?

Swiss T - < 25 was used on the dials from 1960 to the late 1990's, so the dial would appear to be correct - as for the hands, no idea (crappy photo), but if they are the same colour as the lume plots on the dial, you're looking good

The bezel - possibly - depends how wrecked (or not) your old one was .....

You didn't ask for any of those parts to be replaced, and he did so without telling you??
Yeah, I'd be furious! Get the parts back immediately!

If parts were replaced without permission, I would request them to be returned immediately !

The photo is not very clear, but the dial looks correct....................

Nothing seems new on this watch.
Do you mean that it was worst before and got replacement parts that were not new?

Agree with you - the picture attached doesn't reflect a "serviced" watch. Bezel, dial and hands all appear to be "original". Maybe the OP didnt attach the after pic?
