    GMT-11 Service time

    Ok, decided to take in my Ceramic GMT-11 for a service as the hour hand stopped , what is the general opinion what is wrong . A bit more info for you, i can still adjust the hour hand manually but it docent have the same movement as before. Watch is 10 years old so perhaps one of the early 116710 LN's if that helps.

    That sounds like it needs a service and a repair, from experience I would send it to Rolex as most of the independents don’t have all the parts for the 116710LN.

    Expect a cost of between £600-900.

    10 years old and never been serviced? Give it to Rolex. It'll cost £500, and add that to the value. Don't muck about.

    Was there not an issue with the early models regarding the movement? Either way a service should sort it.

    Yes, but the watch is well outside any warranty and possibly needed a service any way. Annoying though, as both GMTIIC’s I had went back under warranty for a similar fault.
    It's just a matter of time...

    I had the same issue with my old 42mm polar. I think from memory it was date related.

    If it’s a known issue, surely Rolex will cover the cost to fix it - even though it took longer to go ‘pop’ I reckon they will if it’s one of the movements that hasn’t had a fix

    Its a mandatory upgrade, included in service price. Just like the 4130 seconds wheel and 2135 date function.

    Service wont be FOC though, its lasted 10 years after all lol.

    Had this with mine a few years back. The hour hand lost its individual click when setting and would freely move. Contacted William Rices watches and they said it was a fault they were familiar with. Sent to them, and they fixed it, saying it would not be a problem that would happen again.To this day, no issues.
