Rolex Service in Aus?
My new to me GMTc arrived a few days ago, has been loved and worn by the previous owner, it's a 2008 watch, and from what i can tell it hasn't been serviced. I'm already pretty committed to taking it to an AD here in AUS, or the RSC itself in Sydney, just to get it serviced and checked over and start my journey with basically a like new watch. I know the service price is quite high, but i'm willing to pay for it considering I want everything spot on and guaranteed perfect. This is pretty much a question for you Aus owners out there, do you think this is a good course of action, or do you have any recommendations in sydney that you think would do a equal if not better job for a lower price?If they can't compare in quality i'm happy to hand over my money to the RSC.
