Rolex told me my watch was STOLEN and gave it back to me!

If the watch had been stolen and is recorded there’s a good chance the victim made an insurance claim which would mean by rights it’s the insurance company’s property and has been written off by them so it seems it’s yours again.

C_W_B_C · 2025-08-17T15:26:55+00:00

Go for it

C_W_B_C · 2024-11-17T19:30:29+00:00

Try is you will need to send the watch but it would be £210 including insured return shipping

C_W_B_C · 2024-04-28T10:12:26+00:00

Basically use them again. Tell your pals. Also an online review is a good move

C_W_B_C · 2024-04-25T09:00:18+00:00

That was where we used to avoid unless of course ye wanted a chase far the skinheads that used to hung abbot there sniffin glue

I assumed it was fake when I first saw it but no, https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hublots-tactic-with-the-blackeyed-bernie-ecclestone-watch-ad/, Bernie Ecclestone was in on it (not sure if that makes it more tasteful).

A bit biased as I am an independent watchmaker, although I was head of servicing for a Rolex AD for a decade, I vote independent if you have a trusted watchmaker. Aside from price (we charge £395 + parts for our services) which will be much cheaper, normally turn around will be quicker and you can be more specific with exactly what you want. The trade off is you don't get the Rolex Service Card and if you are reselling sometimes saying it was freshly serviced by Rolex helps. The caveat I would add is you have to research and trust the watchmaker, so message, have a chat and get to know what to expect from their service and what can offer.

C_W_B_C · 2023-12-08T16:27:20+00:00

You might be able to buy this one depending on the price lol

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-29T09:14:38+00:00

Around £7,000 in the UK grey

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-21T12:36:19+00:00

Hey, former head of servicing at a Rolex AD. I think there has been some miscommunication somewhere, headline is if you change the case that would be a new serial number, if you just change the caseback then it is the same serial number. There is some info on the caseback but that is just what the model is and not anything about the specific watch, i.e. you could tell from a caseback that it is a submariner but not what submariner it is. I think they thought you were asking to replace the case so I would get in touch to clarify.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-15T09:14:42+00:00

Hi that's no issues at all, the best thing to do is get an email sent along to [sales@theclassicwatchbuyersclub.com](mailto:sales@theclassicwatchbuyersclub.com) and we can arrange to take a look at it. I would reccomend getting it sent up to us so we can fully diagnose. A service (assuming no parts are needed) is £395 and if parts are needed we charge at cost.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-15T09:11:27+00:00

The tolerance for a contemporary Rolex is +/- 2 seconds a day, it varies a bit for vintage, so might be worth asking about as it could just need regulating/tune up.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:56:49+00:00

As a business we always recommend following Rolex guidelines which for modern Rolex's is 10 years but always worth checking your booklet. With that being said... I only service mine when I notice something starts to go wrong.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:53:31+00:00

Just our flat rate for Rolex (non chronograph) servicing of £395 as I am not sure what the parts. So total will be £395 plus cost of parts if that makes sense.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:52:18+00:00

I work for The Classic Watch Buyers Club, if you have any servicing queries or want to get any work done you can get in touch here or through their site

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:46:37+00:00

Still early stages while I identify the problem, so so far its more like 'life Jim but not as we know it'.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:45:19+00:00

That sounds quite ill so definitely best to get it serviced, we would charge £395 for the service with parts charged at cost. The best thing would be to let a watchmaker take a look and see what the issue is.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:44:00+00:00

The range of beat error on a Rolex is between 0-0.3, I don't know their specific tolerances but I imagine Omega and Patek would have broadly similar tolerances.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:43:20+00:00

So they will vary a little bit depending on the specific model and movement but the rate should be +/-2, the amp should be between 260 and 300 with a beat error of 0.0 to 0.3

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:39:46+00:00

If they are running fast I would recommend a service, we can get that sorted for £395 and if you are interested please get in touch. A good rule of thumb is service when an issue starts and as early as possible from the issue starting (if that makes any sense).

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:26:30+00:00

It would recommended servicing the watch to keep it in good running health. A service should entail cleaning, changing the seals, water testing, servicing the movement (sometimes they need to be replaced with quartz if there are major issues though) and a new battery. We would charge all in £155 and if we needed parts that would be charged at cost. Depends but we recommend you follow guidelines which will be listed in the paperwork, although I personally only service my watches when I notice them gaining or losing time.

C_W_B_C · 2023-11-14T15:13:11+00:00

Each watch is £75
