I have a Rolex Submariner which was a vintage watch when I bought it in a shop in New York 19 years ago.
It's never kept the best time but then they never do and I only really wear it because I like the look of it.
However, over the years it has started to look ropey with a scratched face and some of the florescent paint missing from the hour hand.
It has never had a service but a quick 'phone call to a Rolex distributor in Cork and I found that I'm looking at a bill of quite a few hundred euros for servicing and replacement of parts.
Quick question - as many things are a lot more expensive in Ireland than on the continent is it likely that I'm going to be able to find a cheaper service elsewhere or are these things standard ?
Thanks.
