Rolex Service.
When you carry out a Rolex service, apart from the service card and 2 year warranty what other treats do you receive? (Lol)

Rolex Cleaning equipment? Rolex pouch? Rolex manuals? do they change or restore leather straps?

Fact or Fiction.

How much parts would you renew during service before it devalues or has an affect on resale depending on if you even care! (Sapphire glass? Bezel? Dials?)

(It’s probably been asked loads of times but sometimes it’s nice to refresh the newcomers)

Most service centers will give you some kind of travel pouch, maybe a polishing cloth and maybe a booklet on how to care for your watch.

Sometimes replacing components devalue your watch.

Be careful

Value is in the dial, hands, and overall condition.

Nobody would know, or really care, about replacement of seals, gaskets, and mechanical parts that are essential in maintaining proper function.

I received a pouch, cloth, service card and the thrill of owning this watch the very first time. RSC Kuala Lumpur did a great job IMO.

As of beginning this year you will get a 'leather' pouch after a full service, and the velvet one after a small intervention (dial change, polishing, etc).

Even when you decline a an estimate you will receive your watch back in the velvet one now.

Did you really sent it in this with grime everywhere ? That’s a bit disrespectful to the watchmaker isn’t it ?
Stunning results and a beautiful watch

Thanks guys, I was very stunned and pleased with the results so I thought I'd share it here.

The BEFORE photo was not the taken directly before I sent in for service; I did wash the watch a bit before taking it into RSC although I doubt I had actually removed much of the grimes.

That's nothing. You should see some of the watches I get on my bench for full service, like they were kept in the sewage system for a decade...

If you wanted to get the sapphire crystal changed, do they renew it with same crystal with Rolex logo on 6 o’clock area?

Would renewing parts like the crystal or ceramic bezel devalue the watch?

Thanks
