To service my Sea Dweller or not? Pls advise...

[deslene]

Hi everyone, can't decide on it, so here's my question.

I'm thinking of selling off my Sea Dweller, do u think I should send it in to RSC for a full service first before the sale, or just sell it as it is. Watch is Z series, so about 7 years now. Has been my daily beater, so lots of scratches on the casing n bracelet. What u guys think? TIA...

[deslene]

Was quoted $980 for the full servicing, n 2 years warranty thereafter....

IMO when you put in $980 for servicing, it will not translate to $980 more you can fetch.

[triton]

agreed. be prepared to only recoup part of the servicing cost.

full servicing will cost $7-800 now, with 1yr warranty by rolex center
without servicing, you can sell at lower price
with servicing, you will want to sell at higher price
so no difference

WRONG INFO............

Sports series is $980 for complete overhaul.

And it come with not one but 2 years warranty.

If want to sell better don't service.

Hope this help.

[skydweller_sg]

what does complete overhaul includes - polish, movement oiling, regulating, and change of parts?

[deslene]

Thanks for all the advise....

[socketer]

sell at reduced price, give the buyer some discount and let him decide whether to service with the $$ saved

This question always linger at the back of my head. How would you know if RSC Singapore actually did a full complete service and overhaul and not just simply perform a $980 external case and bracelet polish?

quite curious too in knowing... exactly how long of usage before 1st servicing?

Usual ball park figure around 5 years for servicing. Kind of like a car I guessed

Now we all know we can low ball you by $1000 to cover the service cost.

5years ~ like a car?
your servicing for your car is 5yr?

Maybe has a Rolls Royce... Im sure you could almost get away with that. ( they last 30+ years anyways. )

IF used for ACTUAL Scuba Diving should consider annual pressure tests, replacement of seals every 24-36 months, full service every 5-7 years on a Rolex Perhaps.

just curious guys...do u all bring in your watches to service it at least once b4 end of warranty period?
