For NYC area:
I recently came into possession of a Submariner - where do I take it to get Links added (I have them) and/or general maintenance?

Can you post a photo? We could date it to at least an era. If the watch is running ok then there is no need for maintenance IMO.

If it’s more modern then you can adjust the links yourself in a few minutes - you just need a screwdriver and a teeny bit of purple loctite.

Update - RSC wouldn’t even touch the watch, verifying the above. Their wording: ‘Beautiful watch but not a single thing is Rolex’.

Called my uncle so he’d stop getting swindled only for him to laugh and tell me he essentially bought three of them out of some dude’s trench coat.

Thanks for all the help. Good knowledge for the real one I’m planning come December.

Any reputable watch store can add or delete links.

Any AD or the New York Rolex Service Center in Midtown for maintenance

If it’s older and you want to keep in original condition may wanna consider roliworks instead of an AD for maintenance

RSC does not care about the market value of your watch. If the watch looks beat, they will polish it during service. While polishing will make your watch look like new, overpolishing changes the case shape and reduces secondary market value.

Generally, my rule of thumb is if it has an aluminum bezel or tritium dial/hands, don’t send to RSC. Watches made in the last 15-20 years don’t really age/patina so don’t think there’s much risk to send to RSC.

And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(
