    Rolex Vintage Dept. Restoration

    Hadn't heard of this before, almost like the Ferrari Classiche programme.

    Seen a milsub with a special wooden box that went back to Geneva

    Had its own printed book etc with it with work done etc

    Sure it was to the tune of £15-16k was a couple years back

    $18k a bargain for 2 years work.

    I'd be more than a little surprised if they actually spent 2 years working on it though.

    My point - likely sat in a queue for 18+ months so the 2 years mentioned really irrelevant.

    That can't be for every model. I have a vintage Air-King in my service queue that was sent off to Geneva by Rolex Kings Hill, it spent 17 months over there only to be returned as they "can't get the parts". My customer specified he didn't want the dial or hands changed (he's owned the watch from new) and Rolex specified they wouldn't service it without changing the dial and hands because of some (ever so slight) discolouration around the edge of the dial. It took 17 months to come to that decision?

    I was in about two months back and heard someone asking about their 6263

    It was something like 3.5k to send it to Geneva (they prefer you take it to Geneva yourself) and then an estimate/acceptance fee of something like 5-7k and all the work on top.

    Sounded like approx 20k+ all in.

    I’m pretty sure this is the department who make dials for you if they don’t have one in stock
