As others have mentioned. Lesson learned for $600. Send it to Rolex. Unless you need another lesson for $700.

From now on, send your old Rolex watches to CW21 Phillip Ridley in Mesa, Arizona.

He is a well known and well respected Vintage Rolex expert, highly regarded here at TRF.

All of the above. Lesson learned. (Hopefully)
