luvdunhill Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Did he offer any guidance on what to expect in terms of accuracy? In otherwords, how inaccurate can it be and he will still take it back and fix things without you incurring additional cost?
shipsupt Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Picked up a Campanola Grand Complication recently:
luvdunhill Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 He brings it to within the original specification, and offers pretty much a 1 year no questions asked warranty. Is your movement COSC certified? I ask, because right after the warrantee information he has a caveat that says: "because of age and technology at the time, please do not expect a vintage timepiece to be as accurate as modern watches".
guzziguy Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 If you want the time to the second, look at your cell phone. Watches are jewelry, not for telling time.

luvdunhill Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 My point is that he makes a claim and offers a warantee but it is not clear what the parameters of the claim are. If it was COSC certified that would clear things up, but pre-COSC makes it harder. It it loses 30 seconds a day for example would he be liable to fix it and perhaps replace parts that wouldn't have been covered by the routine maintenance he just performed? It is the fact that he gives himself an out on the page is all I am pointing out.
luvdunhill Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Just got my GS resized. Glad I didnt have to deal with the tiny screws. Really love it!
Dreadhead Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 It was probably shipped with insurance which means they treat it like it's filled with gold bars. USPS express guarantees suck but it's a very safe way to ship high value items cheaply. I send all my watches for service using it and it's always nerve-wracking because the tracking never seems to make sense.
Voltron Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 thanks! i wish i could find the original pepsi bezel that my dad had replaced with the black bezel, when Rolex serviced it in 2000. i believe it was very faded, though. Stick with the black, it looks way better that way. Purists be damned!

Dusty Chalk Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Posted July 18, 2013 Black >> pepsi Looks shiny and new.
Augsburger Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 That Rolex repair is a huge success, your watch looks gorgeous.
raffy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Looks good Jacob! Glad it made it to you safely.
agile_one Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Gorgeous watch, Jacob. Fantastic repair/renewal by Rick.
Hopstretch Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Got the Sea-Dweller out of storage. Feels good man.
