I was about to pull the trigger, then ...
Sometimes there are things in life that happen for a reason, this is a crazy one.Last thursday evening I almost ... purchased a rolex submariner 116610LN. I was in the store for quite some time, price was better than I expected from an AD in Montreal, it was like too good to be true honestly, it was even better than from a reputable seller on TRF to give you an idea... I was about to commit the crime, then for an unknown reason, wife was asking me of a coffee. It was a cold evening in Montreal and we were walking for quite some time before getting into the store, and she was still cold. So I said, why not, let's go get a coffee then we'll be back in 30 min...This is where the nice part of the story start. While having a coffee, I looked up my mails and guess what, a mail from DavidSW, he was finally able to source a pre-owned 15300 white dial, complete box set and now, I am having an espresso, coming back from the bank to wire him the money.I don't have to tell you that I didn't walked

Rolex Authorized Service Provider?
A couple of years ago I had a watch serviced through one of my APs; it came with a two year Rolex warranty but it wasn't done by the RSC. How many of these providers are out there and how does one find them? Anyone know something about these service providers?
