    My watch is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date-just. Just got it from a friend last weekend.

    How much do you usually pay for the service(maintenance)? What do they do to your watch? Would the watch look brand new after the service? If I want to replace the Sapphire Crystal(with a deep scratch), any idea how much?

    You can bring it to any Washington Jewerly Emporium. Ours were
    serviced (cleaning, buffing etc.) at SM North Edsa branch. Cost varries
    on the works to be done.

    Sapphire glass? I thought it is scratch proof?

    It is scratch resistant but there's one material that can scratch it easily. The hardest material known to man - Diamond.

    +1. Sapphire is very hard, having a hardness of 9 on Moh's scale, compared with 10 for diamond. Might be a diamond has scratched his sapphire crystal.

    beatles, i had my 12 year old rolex serviced two years ago at the official rolex service center at corinthian place, back of greenbelt. they cleaned and calibrated the watch, also changed the gaskets and sapphire crystal, since it had a chip. the total cost was 14,000.00 as far as i remember. they charged 5,000.00 for the sapphire crystal. took them a week to service the watch. hope this helps.

    The older models dont use sapphire crystals, plastic pa yata ung iba kaya nagyeyellow but are originals.
