For the first time in a while, I felt a sense of weight.

Repair of a clock requested by a customer the other day.



This is before maintenance.
It's been quite a while since I owned a Rolex Day-Date.
It's all made of 18k gold material so it's "heavy"!!
The feeling of weight when holding it is more impressive than it looks.

This time it has not been overhauled for over 20 years,
I was unable to quickly change the calendar.
Also, one side of the spring bar was broken, so
This time we performed thorough maintenance including polishing the exterior.

Overhaul ¥27,500
New finish ¥11,000
Spring bar replacement ￥8,800
Calendar car exchange ¥22,000
Winding wheel replacement ¥15,400
Total ¥84,700

For better or worse, Rolexes from this era "work well", so
Often not maintained.
Although we settled on this amount this time,
mainspring and rotor core,
That's a considerable amount of money if you include things like replacing the crown.

At first, I was worried that it might not be fixed, but
I was able to fix it because I had to replace fewer parts than I expected.
However, if you overhaul it regularly, you won't have to make major repairs.
Particularly for items from this generation onwards, the cost of parts has soared, so
Please make sure to maintain it properly!

By the way, even the customer did not know the price of this watch at the time.
I think it was probably around 3 million yen.
If it was purchased around the 90's, I think it would cost about that much.
A similar watch in current condition is estimated to cost over 8 million yen...
Hyoee!!
Although it was extremely expensive even at the time,
We are glad to the customer that we were able to complete the repair requested this time.
It was a very happy event for us as well.

Originally, like before and after,
I would like to post photos before and after the repair.
I don't take pictures of each item after repair because I want to show it to the customer who owns the actual item.
We want our customers to feel the excitement the moment they actually see it.
that's why,
If you are considering repair, please feel free to contact us.
Your current watch will be revived like new!
