You're probably right John. There's no way certain little cracks & crevices could be refinished without removing at least the caseback, bezel, & bracelet.

I think so. While the price may not be completely justifyable, you can 'eat' the cost with a little more comfort. However, unless a watch is really beat to hell, I'd wait for service and get it um, thrown-in, so to speak.
A service up here in the Great White North is $300, assuming nothing needs replacing other than gaskets. So that's not too bad when you factor in a polish as well.

I wish a service was still $300 here....it's crept up to $450 now.

Don't forget, that's $300 Canadian, which is what, like $5 in US funds? Our service may be cheaper, but even with exchange, you can buy a Rolex in the US waaaay cheaper than up here, thanks to our insane import duties. Eg. An ExpII lists at CDN$6050 plus 15% tax, and NO DISCOUNTS.

Check again Johnny...I'd be interested to see what it is now. It was roughly $300 here in the US until earlier this year. My EXP II service was $450 + tax back in August.
