An overhaul of a Rolex Oysterdate was requested the other day.
This time, the customer requested our help because they were concerned about a chipped windshield at the time of the overhaul.
After years of use, plastic windshields can suffer damage such as small scratches and cracks.
Since it is the outermost part of the exterior,
It will do more damage than you think.
However, the good thing about plastic windshields is that small scratches can be polished away and cleaned up.
Even if it needs to be replaced due to cracks, it won't cost a lot of money.
This time there was no fatal damage, just a chip, so
We repaired the scratches on the case and gave it a new finish.
Deep scratches and chips cannot be repaired with a new finish,
You can clean it to the point where it doesn't bother you.
This time
Overhaul ¥ 27,500
New finish ¥ 11,000
2nd wheel replacement ￥ 22,000
Barrel replacement ¥ 9,900
Belt replacement ¥ 5,500
Total ￥ 75,900 including shipping
Since it is an old watch, wear and tear on the parts is inevitable,
If you maintain it properly, you can use it for a long time to come.
It is never disposable,
Isn't that the best thing about a watch?
