Cost of Rolex Submariner Service - £585 or £835 ?

If you buy a new one, that’s a result for Rolex. If you buy a pre owned one then it’s only one service in which you’ll save any money.

Are you seriously saying that you’ll sell any Rolex over ten years old and replace it with one under that age in order to save £250 (less any cost to change)?

I'd buy used, but yes I'd sell an older Rolex to fund a new one. Nearly two years ago I sold a Speedmaster for £2150 on eBay that was 8/9 years old. At the time newer big box version could have been bought for similar money, certainly less to change than the cost of a service.

And now I've a 14060m from 2003, again I'd rather sell that on eBay and find something newer like the 114060 that sold here recently for £4800, or the 14060m that had just returned from a service. Either watch would cost me a lot less than an £800 service.
