Icon20 {{{{Just ordered from Thomas Preik}}}}

Just ordered this bad boy for my SubC... I have a few questions:

1- Who should I let touch my Sub to make the swap? I would assume an AD?
2- How much is "reasonable" to make the change.. I of course want it to be pressure tested as well..
3. Does anyone know anyone in the so Cal area that can do this for me? If so please provide info....

Thanks..

I doubt an AD will change the case back for you. Maybe just a "normal" watchmaker (not Rolex AD). In any case if I were you I would let the original caseback in order not to alter the watch and its water resistance.

An AD will not do this work.....you must find a local watchmaker preferably one with a Rolex account.

That would at least assure that the watch will be pressure tested for you because they will know what the are doing. IMO
