Can I send my SubC to RSC ?

[-Ally-]

Today I was winding my 114060 and noticed a different sound than is normal so I'm going to send it in via my AD but my question is, do I need to put it back on original bracelet or is it ok to leave the RubberB on ?


Thanks

I'd put original bracelet back if Rolex is doing the service.
My understanding at least with Rolex Canada is that the watch should be in its original state.
Is your Rolex still under Waranty?
If so they may consider a non Rolex bracelet as a modification to the watch and thus void the Waranty because of it.
Rolex tends to be very sticky about such things

Thanks Chris, thought this might be the case. It's not easy to change the bracelet back sadly :(

You're very welcome, my pleasure.
Do you have a spring bar tool to change your bracelet?

Semi-related; what if its out of warranty? Will a bracelet change keep them from servicing the watch?!

My understanding is yes it needs to be in its original state
You have an aftermarket dial, bezel or bracelet they won't touch it.
You could have a black dial Explorer II and change the dial to he polar white and that would be okay because the Explorer II was offered in a black and a white dial. You have a GMT with a Pepsi bezel and out an aftermarket gem stone bezel and it won't fly with them.

needs to have original everything or else rolex will not touch it.

Just take off the RubberB and send it in with no bracelet; Rolex will service just the head...

If you send it in with a arubber B, the watch will be serviced and returned with the band and case separate. Brush and polish of SS bracelet is standard with a service so better to send that with the watch, either attached or not, as you are paying for it anyway.

This... they don't care that you prefer yours on a strap instead of the original bracelet, but they won't put the strap back on after the service.

As long as the bracelet on it is not counterfeit, which, of course, a Rubber B isn't.

Good point!

or you can just send the watch head in and not the bracelet.

the AD whom you are using to send it to the RSC should have the recommended caliper-like spring bar compressor ... they should be able to swap it back easily to the orig bracelet before sending it in
