New charges for verification at Rolex Centre.

Hello,

Yesterday afternoon went down to rolex centre to verify a black sub...and found out that the charges had went up....now new charges for verification at rolex centre : $107

In the end....went to JW instead.

Aiyo...what happens to the cost after 5 years later when we send it for servicing? That would cost us a bomb right (considering the amount of inflation 5 years later + cost of living + overhead costing +, taxes+, etc...)

Now i am glad i am not the only one kana the 'pleasant' experience...hehehehe

So it means the RSC is still providing authentication service. What a false scare.

Tx for clarifying

Think we will soon see some threads on "Lobang for cheap verification of rolex watches @ $XX"...

"Lobang for cheap verification of rolex watches... with SMILING and FRIENDLY customer service counter officers!" Bloody monopolisers! I was in the queue to pick up my watch (~1pm) and overhead the staff turning away a couple of customers who wanted to do authentications. "We are too busy to do authentications now, please come back tomorrow..."

Anyway, I was advised the authentication process was to take 3-4 hours! Some "new procedure" the technicians had to follow. But in fact it took slightly under an hour.

RSC should entertain authentication requests if you are there before 11am. Overall experience was not too pleasant.
