Fellow rolex watch owners, do you still send yr watches to Rolex for servicing?

Any recommendation for alternative service agents that are capable, reliable and thrustworthy? Obviously cheaper as well...

Do you think they sell you anything if you walk in into any of the Authorized Retailer shop? Or everything inside it’s just for display? I don’t have any experience in this field and it would also be my first watch so do you think luck works? 😅

Actually, why buy from retail while resellers are selling abit above premium these days for rolex? Can get a Sub for 51k vs 47k for retail. Get treated like crap by the AD and yet need tobuy pieces we don't want...

Just wanna share my Rolex buying experience. I have zero purchase history, I walked in Rolex ad at my place in feb this year, enquire a datejust 126300 blue dial, the SA said can put me on waiting list and I did. To my surprised they messaged me in May and told me that the watch is available to collect, exactly 3 mths of waiting only, cos I didn’t expect I can get it so soon.

After collected the watch, I put my name on the waiting list for batgirl, and this time around I don’t have high hopes on acquiring it soon or even get a call. But again to my surprised(this time a big surprised), they messaged me yesterday asking whether I would like to take batman as they received this variant instead of batgirl. I’m more than happy they allocated the watch for me even it’s not my preferred bracelet, so I accepted their offer. This time around also waited for exactly 3 mths only.

Maybe I’m the lucky one to get 2 watches in only 6 mths with zero purchase history before.

Hi sifus I got offered a black sub no date from an AD but need to pair with either a tudor pelagos ceramic blue/black or a tudor black bay bronze, is it still a worthy deal? are the tudors offered easily to be sell off?
