I was wondering how Rolex trained service people are on a Super Sea wolf early 70's.  My guy does a lot of watches in particular Rolex and subcontracts for dealers (Rolex) in the area, and I was wondering if anybody has had good or bad dealings with former Rolex people now in private business.  Should I stay away or just proceed with caution or this should be no problem with the off-set pinion service?  Any Comments would be appreciated.  Thank You Mike Sharkey

Search for BWG here and you will gain a lot of insight into you question. Your guy's biggest problem will be the lack of parts availability. THEN there is the canon pinion work, not really for the uninitiated.

 :welc welcome to our forum. just" cut to the chase " and use our forum watchmaker, you will be better off in the end and someone who KNOWS all the zodiac tricks will correctly service your watch.

Plus, it is almost guaranteed that BWG will be less expensive than a Rolex-trained watchmaker. I think those guys must spend half their training on understanding the Rolex Mystique business model.

Rick,
I located a diagram of the much sought after "Rolex Mystique Business Model" you referred to. I'm certain that understanding it takes up ALL their time!  :lolz;

 :SB: just remember guys, a rolex watch movement has all the basic parts and pieces as any other good mechanical watch. when you tack "ROLEX" onto it it just demands a much higher repair price. my 1967 rolex date just date stopped advancing, rolex service center wanted $500., yes, i said $500. to repair it. another non rolex watchmaker charged $50.00 to fix it. it works just like new now.    :#Censored :sici :#C
