BLNR back from service

Had my BLNR since they were first released in 2013 and have used it regularly - mostly on travels for work (make 100 plus flights a year - pre COVID of course !)

Noticed a scratch on the crystal and had sharp edges on two links - not sure how that happened but must have caught it somewhere.

So full service, new crystal and two new links plus full polish and its as good as new !

Was that your first service since purchasing it?

All scratches come out of PCLs?

Lugs still sharp as when new? I am sure they are.

Congrats looks great and a real classic timepiece.

Yeah really great.
This is one of reasons why I don't get the people worried to wear their watch. Basically everything can be fixed during the service. And if it's beat to bits before the service is due, just service it early if it bothers you to have some battle scars.

The answer to your second question is absolutely not

Watch looks great...I’ve got my 2015 BLNR in for service as well as it just stopped running. My watch is rarely worn so didn’t get the mileage you got from it. They told me 8 weeks at the Bangkok RSC

Was the service done through Rolex? Do you mind letting us know the cost? Thanks!

Looks like the service went very well, OP! Looks brand new and just goes to show that the small, minor scuffs and scratches we encounter daily are not that big of a deal in the long run. Enjoy wearing it again!
