I'm sincerely trying to understand the rationale. Maybe there is a really good reason that escapes me. Rolex owners, help me here.
If you spend that much for a Rolex I do not think that $900 is a bad price to pay for repair.

With 507 peeks, I guess a lot of us want to know what the repair price for a Rolex is.

My $30 watch from Sgt Grit/USMC is still ticking - with an occasional battery replacement.
