Oh, so what are you getting done in the end?
-
• #49529
Just a service with Rolex (which should dislodge any loose lume) and new clasp and then look into a relume. Maybe even leave dial and hands as is. TBD.

That does look really nice. Good size. The originals change hands for a lot of money now days.

Just as a follow on to my Rolex insanity, Rolex have amazingly stumbled across a silver 5700 dial.
They've been telling customers they don't have any for years.
Still not going to do it.

Very nice. I'm very tempted to get one of these. Have you got a side on view of it, how tall is it? I find that some of these smaller dive watches can look a bit too tall given their diameter.

Out of spite.
Turn the service down.
But ask for the dial half price as its not the same. 😎
Flip it on chrono.

13mm. Feels slightly top heavy but I still haven’t set the bracelet perfectly so might be that. Thought Eddie and time factors were great. Changed my delivery address after I messed it up and undercharged me shipping 👍

That's not Rolex suggesting the dial needs replacing , that's them saying it's a necessary part .
We come across this regularly and I can see it from both sides.
Client wants to retain originality , Rolex want to do a job that they can give the same warranty on as when it was new ( if not a better warranty than new 2 years on a 32 year old watch) and they obviously feel a dial with flaking lume risks movement contamination and therefore cant give said warranty. -

Yeah, I do totally see their point. Thanks for clarifying that.

As above, the new dial etc will be on the mandatory work list. Do it all or they won’t do anything, see it regularly. I get where they are coming from as far as warranty etc, but originality is what I am more concerned with, I would find and independent and keep it as original as pos.

If that's the same as the original do it!
This is the way, see if they can restore the tritium plots. Get the movement serviced and call it a day I'd say.
Pics of the watch in question?
