  • Was given my grandad's watch, think it's from the early 50s. Lived on my mum's bedside table for years. Gave it a wind and it's keeping time very well. I've never owned anything "nice" before. If it seems to be running well, is there any need to have it serviced? Would be good to know if it's waterproof etc.

  • If you want to wear it daily then yeah, I'd say service is a first thing to do. Then you need to think if you want an authorised Rolex service centre or not - Rolex is known to replace parts which you might not necessarily want to get replaced. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly.

    It looks great on your wrist by the way. The correct width strap would look even better ;-)

  • I can't wear it at work (smashy warehouse where my current watch takes a battering) but I'd love to wear it in the evenings and on weekends. Judging by older posts on this thread it sounds like it's a lot more expensive to get Rolex to service it, compared to a independent service centre/watch shop.

    Thanks! It's very nice to wear. Yeah I'll try and get a new strap when shops open again, this one is quite narrow.
