Gold was in for....

service only.

Found a local guy here who worked for Rolex locally for 18 or 28 years who was recommended by other enthusiasts. I was reluctant but then I saw his work and it was great! He has his own store and partnered with a guy in the US.

Rolex told me that the crown (with some internals), and crystal needed to be replaced for $1000 plus... he did the whole for around 300$ (no replacements, just service).


Pulled a few out to see if you guys can spot the non vintage?


Will post pics of his work when I have access to the watch again. He did a great job on the President.

(Pics are before service, sorry for bad quality)

Great collection. By the way, which one do you wear most often?

Thank you, I know the stainless has the Zenith movement with a brushed bracelet.

I don't know much about the two tone though except that it is from around the same time as the stainless.
