Re: Rolex Service
In Response To: Re: Rolex Service ()

Why my booklet has but yours doesn't, two things
come to mind, perhaps they don't trust their own
product like before, or they out to make money
by deceiving and spreading false information, as
you suuggested it's a part of marketing or should I say MILKING.
As I mentioned before inaccuracy doesn't not bother me much, but still it would have been nice
if my SUPERLATIVE(?) chronometer performed within the specification. Even though I'm quite close to
NY RSC I'm not that anxious to go there for just
simple regulation. I heard many horror stories,
it could be hit or miss. I know US omega screw up
far more than Rolex USA, but Rolex is not Mr.
Clean either.
I don't see anything wrong with comparing Omega and Rolex. People need to know,especially newbie
face this question what to buy and why. I often
ask myself the same question and compare the
qualities. Do you think Rolex is untouchable?
I don't think so.
