Hi watch fam, watch noob here. My father in law’s Rolex is in pretty bad shape. He bought it brand new from a dealer in 2006. Where can I get it fixed for him in New York? Rolex store my best option or outside? Also, considering they can fix this, any idea about the value of this watch/model?
Thank you!

I personally would go to the Rolex store—I would go to Tourneau, actually; they fixed one of mine after I damaged it after I fell out of an Uber once (don’t ask)! The problem is that if you get it fixed somewhere that isn’t an authorized dealer/repairer, it could adversely affect the value of the piece.

This watch is a fake. Any RSC will just confiscate it.

That’s a day-date mixed with a touch of datejust loll. Sorry but I think it’s a fake. Any chance the dealer is based out of Canal St?

Hi P1, certainly not a joke. I thought I’ll get it fixed for him as a gesture. The man has been going through a slump and wanted to cheer him, so I guess I will find out what’s going on here soon.

(1) Take it to the NYC service center. Only way to guarantee OEM parts + warranty of service. (2) that’s a steel/gold datejust. Not the most rare or desirable, but if you’re looking to sell I’d say you’re at top of market - so sell quickly. Take it to a 3rd party appraiser and they can typically get the best $ value.

I'd put money in it being fake. In addition to the other tells that folks have already mentioned, the thing that jumps out at me is the color of both the day and date wheels. They are white, always. The color of your dad's is all wrong. And no, they don't fade or discolor with age or sun exposure.

Ah OP what will you do now? Would you tell your FIL or just get it fixed up anyway?

Sure thing… This thread was probably tough, haha. If you are considering a new watch for him and have some criteria (style, price, etc), I’m sure folks will offer more suggestions.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
