Nope...$70 was for sapphire crystal!
In Response To: Re: $250 sounds really high....... ()

Hi Derek.......nope, the $70 on the Rolex was for a sapphire crystal replacement, although it was replaced during a general overhaul. Quite possibly the cost would have been higher for "just" a crystal replacement without the cleaning being done at the same time. And also, the ladies datejust is much smaller than a man's version in either Rolex or Omega.
