Hi Richard, Speaking of Rolex, I purchased my rolex new in 1976 and it started to lose time a little, so i took it to a authorized rolex watch person for the first time since i brought it. Maybe i was just lucky. Being a cheap guy how does a lay person know it a watch repair guy is ripping you off, the cost was a little over $700. Thank you.
