Cost to replace crystal

I have the Day-Date (18238). After 30 years the crystal has got pretty beat-up. What should I pay to have it replaced?

After 30 years, a full service might be in order, and I’m sure the crystal would be replaced. RSC in Dallas would be a good option once this crisis blows over.

I would imagine the same cost as a 118238 that I recently had serviced.

*dents may be visible after refinishing? What do they mean by that?

I think it means that refinishing cannot remove dents -- so you may still see them even after a refinishing occurs.
