Finally got my WG Daytona back from RSC.
It took around 8 weeks for the service, and it cost £635.

It’s come back looking brand new again, and I am delighted to have it back on my wrist!

That’s the disappointing part. It was brand new in May 2015 (random serial). I purchased it November 2018 as New Old Stock and I removed the stickers.

But in September 2018 it stopped hence the service so I presume the 3.5 years inactivity from May 2015 to November 2018 caused internal problems.

The actual RSC service took 8 weeks.

Gorgeous! Does it really come back as looking like new from RSC?

Did you send it into your AD to then send onto RSC?

Yes it looks brand new and had new stickers on it. Yes I sent it through my AD (Goldsmiths).

Thanks Gary. I'll likely do the same further down the road when sending in my black & white 116500's in to RSC via the AD.

I love how it comes back spanking new from RSC. Just goes to show that these watches are there to be uesed & enjoyed & when paying the coin for the service, it comes back looking so fresh!

Wow, did they approve red hands? According to Rolex dial/parts police these should be silver with the Panda right? I’ve never seen a Panda in AD’s window with red hands and I have seen many!

They did release a few panda dials with the 3 red sub dial hands.

This picture was from a Rolex catalogue.

OK now I am officially lusting over this particular Daytona.

Simply stunning. IMO much better than any SS reference.

Hey Gary, It looks Really nice! How is she running now since the service?

Did you request any special instructions?

Was your watch not covered under the five year warranty? If not, why?
