No, I got "optional" items listed on my estimate when I sent my SD to Dallas RSC. If you send it through an AD, RSC will not talk to you about the service - only to the AD who sent it in.
^^ my experience as well

I believe Omega only gives part's accounts to third party companies if they follow their "all-in" price structure. Assuming Rolex does the same to prevent third parties from undercutting their structure?

The same. Omega started following what Rolex was already doing. My watchmaker says when Rolex comes by to do on the spot inspections they literally show up out of the blue.

My watchmaker in Miami says what Terry's guy said about Omega and Rolex. In order to maintain their parts accounts, they also must have certain equipment, etc. on site, because they do literally show up and do site inspections.

But since Paul was asking, I would definitely go with either Terry's guy, or if you're closer to S. Florida, I can help with introductions to the guys we use in Miami. I know Ralph has been pleased, and I also referred them to Chris (for a friend's Rolex). https://www.facebook.com/sarraffwatchmaker/

I'd go with Terry. He'll make sure that you are satisfied

Thanks gents - I appreciate the assists

I'm still on the road but will send it to Terry when I can. Watch works great, just need to know why the crown won't wind the movement. I don't want to drop a grand on it and it's my Rolex exit watch (fits me perfectly and has all the features I use) so not looking to get it to "flipping standard" ;)
