If you send in to RSC to repair your vintage rolex, you risk RSC changing your original vintage parts with service parts. And when that happens, you might see your vintage rolex value taking a hit. Just saying....
I think there is a good restoration shop (for all sort of higher end watches) at lucky plaza or far east plaza. Just can't remember the name....
RSC charge differently for vintage Rolexes nowadays
Extremely high premium rate for vintage sport models. They do provide you a quotation and would only process if you are agreeable to the rate.

If you do send to RSC, of course you will need to specify what parts they should not touch. Basically you need to do a lot of research on the watch that you are buying to be able to give those instructions to RSC.
