: Not in my service booklet circa 1985. I checked
: and re-checked. Maybe it's on the new
: Rolex's. The ones with the sapphire
: crystals. Have you had your Rolex serviced
: by the NYC service center? They will not
: send it back to you unless it is accurate.
: They say you should have it serviced to replace
: the seals. Mainly for diving. My seals never
: leaked even after 20 years. But the oil has
: never been an issue. Modern oils do not have
: those problems, but you hear it all the
: time. It is marketing to get you to spend
: the money for a regular service. There is a
: lot of info on the web about that
: "oil" myth.
: The only reason I had my Rolex servivced was to
: replace the crown and the stem that it
: screws into . Timing was never an issue. My
: mistake was letting it run down on long
: weekends because I didn't wear it. It took
: over twenty years to lose the threads. Now I
: have a winder. That should not be an issue
: in the future.
: I have an atomic clock and it has been dead on
: for over a month on the winder. Like John R
: said , every watch is different. I have the
: older movement and it was just rebuilt. That
: could be a factor. I never abused my Rolex.
: BTW how many people change the oil in their car
: every 3K miles. Or have a tune-up twice a
: year.
: If a $300 Seiko was the same as a $4500 Rolex,
: they would cost the same. We are still ruled
: by the laws of the marketplace. Price is set
: by demand. A $25 Timex will keep great time.
: With any luxury watch , you are not paying for
: timekeeping. You are paying for the way
: people feel about their watches.
: I love BMW's, but a Honda Civic will get you to
: the store and back. People compare the
: Mercedes to the BMW. Same nonsense. What I
: don't like is people who do not make the
: commitment to buying a Rolex, saying that an
: ETA movement is just as good. Try saying
: that on the TZ Rolex forum.
: Omega owners, and I am one, need to just love
: their Omegas and stop comparing them to
: Rolexes. That in itself implies that the
: Rolex is the "gold standard" for
: luxury watches. Case closed.
WHATEVER!!!
You need to stop that ROLEX B.S., read what John R and go somewhere esle with your POMPOUS A** Rolex attitude!!!
