Finally got my explorer back from being serviced. It took eight weeks. Much better than the 12-14 weeks they estimated. It was definitely worth the wait. It looks and performs better than ever!
It is a 2006. The cost for the basic service was $850. I had to also replace the crystal that was chipped so that added another $105.
Was that right from Rolex? My omega hestalite crystal was quoted at 800 cdn dollars so that’s a good price thanks, I have a explorer as well 39 mm love it.

Sounds about right (for better or worse)…. I got my 14270 Explorer serviced for about $800 for a movement service only by Central Watch in NYC in 2019. I think it’s overpriced in my opinion but there’s certain parts they replace regardless of wear-and-tear (mainspring, barrel, and some wheels I believe) which add to the cost. My point of reference is that around 2014, same 14270 was serviced by a Rolex-certified independent watchmaker who I knew personally and he charged me around $400. He only replaced what was actually worn out (i.e gasket and seals), and I’m sure he gave me a “friend” discount at some level but any service over $600 for a simple three-hander from the modern era is a bit much to say the least

It was through my AD (Leeds and Sons in Palm Springs CA) but was sent directly to Rolex for service.

Sweet 😎 like getting a new watch again 😁👍🏻👍🏻
That looks great, really different look on a nato!
May I ask how old the watch was and what could I expect to pay for the same service?
Glad you got it back. I still think it's insane the turnaround times these luxury manufacturers offer are just mad.

Yeah the bracelet is great but I love changing out straps.
That is a killer watch on a killer strap!
