I had exactly the opposite experience with a RSC when I sent my 1016 into them, about twenty something years ago. They would not service it without replacing the dial with a then current (white gold surrounds) dial.
😲 🤮
I spoke to an RSC woman on the phone for at least fifteen minutes, pleading my case. I was incredulous that Rolex would so cavalierly destroy their own heritage and I finally told her so. She was entirely unimpressed. “
They’re just tools after all, just tools!” I wonder how many thousands of collectors she’d told that to.
I had them send the watch back to me. Thank goodness they alerted me beforehand.
You guys have seen my 1016 before.
Just another close call for this watch.
