Deep Sea Service 116660
Hey fellas . Don’t post much any more as work is out of control .
Pretty much just wear my Rolex Deep Sea since a picked it up here a year and a half ago . Well it has become tough to wind so it needs a service . Any recommendations ? It’s a 2010 116660 Mk1 dial .
So no RSC
I won’t use Rik D as I had a bad experience with that guy in the past. ABC ? LAWW ??
Cheers
Nick

Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
Hey Nick. I hope all is well. I don’t know Rick D. I’d go LAWW.
Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
Ed thanks brother and back at you . That was my first instinct.

Any idea what a DSSD service is costing these days ?

My AD is a Rolex Service Center, Windsor. The guy worked for Rolex for years and they have all the proper equipment.

Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
I don't know if LAWW can pressure test down to 4k meters (or if that even matters) but I have had multiple good experiences with LAWW.

Good to know as I will need to service my 16600 soon.Jeep99dad wrote:My AD is a Rolex Service Center, Windsor. The guy worked for Rolex for years and they have all the proper equipment.
Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
My understanding the DSSD has to go back to Rolex service centers because of the 4K pressure testing, but this may not be true. I would like to know for sure as when my DSSD needs service I would like to know my options

Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
I don't think anyone can pressure test down to the full depth of a DSSD besides a real (e.g., not AD) RSC. Even so, who's going down 10,000 feet? A pressure test to 300 meters is good enough to make sure your watch won't leak.rockmastermike wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 4:11 amI don't know if LAWW can pressure test down to 4k meters (or if that even matters) but I have had multiple good experiences with LAWW.
Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
Nick - why no RSC? They’ll do it right and cost can’t be that much different. Send a note saying you don’t want polishing or cosmetic parts changed.

Re: Deep Sea Service 116660
Sarraff or LAWW would be my choices.

Thanks Jason …. It’s my always watch and will never leave .
Yep no polishing or pip surgery . It’s going to Sarraff. They can pressure test to about 1200 meters . That’s way more than i need for ocean swimming . Thanks to my buddy Tom for the help here .

Good to hear it’ll be sorted out.
