Well, that is to be expected I would think.

IMO, you got a bargain. Congratulations! Enjoy it!

That's steep for an old Oysterdate. What did you pay for it originally?

Two years ago the tab for an overhaul of my 1993 N serial TT Sub was $1,040, including a new crystal and various miscellaneous innard bits. That's the price of owning a Rolex and keeping it in good repair.

I have done the same thing to my old speedmaster and it is worth the while, as production of that model has stopped more than ten years ago.

rolex makes money on the watch sales and better on repairs. i guess we should compile a list of watchmakers all over the world who have been tested and trustworthy!;o
