Three years ago I personally took my Explorer to Mexico City's beautiful Rolex service office to be serviced. I got it back working properly. But recently the watch started running fast by 8 seconds a day. Too much for a watch that had been serviced only three years ago. So I took it back to the Rolex service office. I said I realized the warranty was for only two years but still it was too soon for the watch to deteriorate like that. They looked at it and said don't worry, we'll get it back to working properly at no cost. Come back in two weeks. Wow. That's great service!!!
Hi I always wanted a 5 digit polar. Does it comes with box and paper? Is it ok to get without box and paper as it cost much less. Planning to keep the watch.
@@victorkkq as long as you take the watch to Rolex to be fully authenticated, no problem, in my opinion. A box and papers does add value, but it’s really more of a personal preference on if they’re necessary or not. I don’t think they are, especially if you plan to keep the watch.
Looking forward to the ownership review, particularly on the difficulty of the initial purchase and cost. I hear that buying from an AD is very difficult and I want to research before I buy my first one in a couple of years.
@@FrankBatistaElJibaro this particular one has been replaced by a newer model since 2011, the 216570, which was produced until 2021 at which point the 226570 took over and is the current model.
@@garrisonk8627 Thank you for the response. I didn't mean this particular model, I meant Rolex in general. I understand that it's difficult to buy directly from an AD depending on the model, and I'm not sure which model I want yet, but I'm leaning toward a datejust either dark blue dial or dark green. Still a lot to think about. I retire in a few years and I want to get a matching pair my wife and I.
@@FrankBatistaElJibaro getting a pair of datejusts should be fairly straightforward at any AD. Just go in a few months ahead of your retirement and tell them what 2 ones you’re interested in and that you want them to mark your retirement. It’s always good to attach a watch to a big life event. Good luck!

@@arturogonzalez-arquieta7882 nice. Sounds like they took good care of you. That was the proper way for Rolex to handle that.
Beautiful watch and great video!
@@rickb6365 thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Great watch. I wear my Polar on a jubilee from the 16710 GMT.

Best Rolex
@@KaydenDunford it’s one of the watches of all time, for sure.
Jokes aside, ya I think it is a strong contender for best Rolex.
Great video thanks.
