So I decided to treat my 1997 14060 Submariner to a service. I had no service history with the watch so decided to take it in to a well known high street chain
The salesman said "ah you've got a classic model there so the service charge will be £740"
Classic in his book were the exposed lug holes
He showed me his price tariffs and there are two prices , one for non classic (£520) and one for classic (£740)
I was expecting a figure of around £500 so was rather shocked at the price
I got home and rang Rolex St James , she asked what model i had and what year it was and their initial quote was £485 but then she did say that it could be £710 if it was determined to be a classic model
She didn't seem to know what the criterion was for "classic".
I'm hoping once Rolex receive my watch they will tweak the price if they determine it is "non classic"
