I popped into Rolex's UK servicing headquarters this week in St.James' Square (London).
I wanted a price for my Datejust service.
Was told £500 GBP and would take 5-6 weeks.
My watch is 15 years old now, but service prices seem to have gone up considerably, I recall my last service in 2011 was 'only' £240 GBP, direct with Rolex too.
Although 5 years is the recommended, if your watch is keeping good time and there's nothing else you want looked at, I'd leave it a couple more years. Just my opinion, though of course some will want to keep in line with Rolex's guidance. |
Not necessarily on topic, but I was at the St. James Rolex service center this week too!
I somehow bent the small link under the clasp and needed it replaced. Cost £63.24 and I had my watch back in 15 minutes. Friendly service center, and it was nice sitting and reading the Rolex and Tudor look books/catalogues! |
Yes, it is nice in there and some of the staff are quite easy on the eye too   |
That's for sure! haha (and they're actually nice too, unlike some of the staff in certain boutiques, who are a bit ... snooty (for lack of a better word)
