I'll be bringing in my Tudor Sub for a long overdue service to Norbert Zerbes, "The German Watchmaker" in Yaletown, - dwntwn Vancouver. I trust him..!

Mpoweroo1 · 14 November 2012, 08:40 AM

Dallas RSC here, was very satisfied with their service not to mention some of the girls working there are hot!

Alcan · 14 November 2012, 09:27 AM

Two to Bob Ridley, 7 to Rolex Canada in Toronto. Suberb service each time.

pdoukas · 14 November 2012, 09:35 AM

I second that, I had them do a couple of Rolexes for me, service is great and much faster then Rolex. They even give you back the old parts if anything was replaced in the boxes of the new original Rolex parts they used.

One piece was going a bit slow after a year, they took care of it without any questions.

Highly recommend them.

To the Rolex SC here in Melbourne. Customer service can be hit and miss. Sometimes we just drop it off at the ADs and they are happy to take care of sending the watch off for servicing (with us paying the cost of course).

brlay · 7 December 2012, 11:15 PM

sent mine to the Toronto RSC.... I think 4 to 6 weeks. Very good service

glhglh · 16 December 2012, 04:49 PM

Bob Ridley, in Texas, does great work.

vintagewaferthin · 18 December 2012, 11:20 AM

Although I don't have a Rolex, I send my vintage watches to Dimitrie Vicovanu down at Masters Of Time in NYC for service.

joe stout · 18 December 2012, 01:43 PM

Luckily I have'nt needed any work done on my GMT, but there is a AD close in San Antonio, its either there or Dallas

old 5.0 · 18 December 2012, 02:02 PM

I send my watch to the local watch maker down the road. He services my watch in about a week and if I have issues promptly fixes them.

WOW! What a difference. I didn't think Rolex was servicing any of the older stuff.

Well I must say I have heard alot of negative comment about RSC here in Singapore. But my experience has been very good so far. I had my DSSD regulated under warranty took about 2 hours and they tested for water resistance also. I also took my LV Sub in for a complete service got it back within 2 weeks, they had estimated 1 month. It is running a constant +5 sec/day. I am very pleased. Back in the states I have a great "Rolex Certified Watchmaker" at my AD that I use when I'm there.

Vincent65 · 2 January 2013, 10:24 PM

Zurich AD - 1 month - happy

kakocemo · 5 January 2013, 01:49 AM

Took my 16613 to www.usawatchservice.com in Dover NH and after four weeks watch was back brand new. They shop is equipped with proper Rolex tools and equipment.

les autres · 8 January 2013, 06:37 PM

Im in Oz for a year from the uk. Can anyone recommend a top quality service shop at a sensible price?
My Day Date needs serviced(it keeps stopping). Ive had it for many years and usually get it serviced in Scotland by the official agents, its a fixed price and takes a couple of months. Even then though it still catches time and goes about 5mns fast,
HELP PLEASE!!!

nch209 · 9 January 2013, 01:50 AM

After getting less that desirable service via local techs, my latest service job was sent to Athens, Greece... Quite a distance from northern VA! I sent it across the pond with Tempoking, and am excited to see it come home!

Future jobs will be likely sent there if all goes well, and if I need to stay local (USA) it will be will Dallas RSC, or will try to Ridley for old stuff or member Rikki. I wish I had a local go to guy- but have yet to be "wow-ed".

slcbbrown · 22 January 2013, 09:25 AM

I've used lots of different outfits over the past 39 years. The two that have done the most work, recently, are Manny Chamosa and Dallas Watch-- both not too far from me in the Dallas area.

TommyT53 · 31 January 2013, 08:49 AM

I and many of my other obsessed watch fiends send ours to Jesse Hueg at JHFineWatches.com. He does superb work and is located in Albany NY.

tigerlam92 · 1 February 2013, 04:59 PM

Just took my 14 year old Rolex with a mainspring broken to Lukin's Watch and Clock Repair. Very impressed and looks brand new again!

I’ve used two places, both with very good results.

I had my 1988 GMT II (16760) serviced by Rolex in UK. This took a long time, but the price was not bad (but has since gone up considerably) and the result was just outstanding. Add to that the two year guarantee period, and the bomb-proof provenance of a factory service and I’d recommend it to anyone.

For service on my wife’s Lady Date with bimetal Jubilee bracelet (6917) we chose Michael Young in Hong Kong. This choice was made really because, in addition to a service, the watch also required some fairly extensive bracelet work. We have had bracelet work done on this watch by Rolex UK, and it is expensive. So we decided to give Michael Young a try. His work was prompt, reasonably priced and nicely done. Again, I’d recommend him to anyone.

EricG75 · 12 February 2013, 08:02 AM

Rik in Florida does awesome job and turn around time is very fast and great prices

Jcru2001 · 4 March 2013, 01:46 PM

Would love to find someone who is certified and independent in southern CT. Any suggestions ?

bowlane · 6 March 2013, 07:10 AM

Does anyone recommend someone in the UK to service a vintage Rolex? Ideally London.

03cobraa · 7 March 2013, 11:19 AM

RSC in New York! They did a good job on my 5512! My 16750 is there now for the Spa treatment. Should be back in around 5 weeks!
