I recently took my SS Submariner Date into a Rolex service center so they could adjust the bezel which wasn't lined up perfectly with the minute markers. They did it while I waited, and I was in Rolex heaven INSIDE the service center, where I was surrounded by all this watch equipment :-) I didn't mind waiting an hour AT ALL. It was really cool being in there. It's like being in a museum or something. They had cool Rolex posters on the wall too. Most of the technicians wore white doctor-style robes with the Rolex logo. How cool is that? I snapped up a few pictures for a sneak peak for you guys :-)

I hope Rolex doesn't mind

Sam Taha · 25 July 2008, 07:34 AM

Baptistman · 25 July 2008, 07:35 AM

the sg RSC is glass panelled and you can see right thru. As for pics, no idea if they would let you.

sherwin · 25 July 2008, 10:56 AM

sea-dweller · 25 July 2008, 01:09 PM

For some reason I can't see those photos

Were the photos very large?

My computer tries to load them, but after about a minute it gives up

SLS · 25 July 2008, 05:13 PM

J/k....Nice pics!

oneillba · 25 July 2008, 09:14 PM

Impressive. Very sterile environment. Did your Rollie turn it's head and cough?

seantk · 25 July 2008, 09:15 PM

Thanks for the sneak peek. Did they give your watch some anesthesia prior to performing the "outpatient" surgery
