Hi All:

I'm new to the world of Rolex, and need some advise about fixing a Rolex 6241 that has seen better days. It needs some replacement parts (new crystal, crown) and a tune up.

This is basically like fixing up a classic car for me, so I want the original parts and quality service.

Any advise would be more than welcome.

Hi:
I have a Submariner and sent it to Rolex for repair a couple of years ago. It came back like a brand new watch and I was very pleased with the result. Cost was $832 but I would presume your 6241 would probably be more. Take it to a reputable Rolex dealer who will send it to Rolex for an estimate and then you decide if you want it done.

Like brand new and vintage is not something I'd like to hear....

Well I have the watch repaired with the actually parts. The only thing I am missing now is a replacement dial.... which is difficult to find.

They sometimes are tough to find. Perhaps wear and enjoy with the old dial - a reminder of the long and adventurous past life of your watch. Just an idea...I've decided to do that with my dial....errrr...face.
