Pt. 2 Long Post: 1680 Sub - RSC did NOT accept Orchi's 1680..

Err...Sub's WORN OUT 93150/580 Oyster Links bracelet...that is.

That happened when Orchi visited RSC in the afternoon today...Jan 20...
hoping to get the worn out bracelet replaced by RSC...for a new one.

After RSC checked out the 1680 watch to be ALL GOOD...
which took about 15 minutes or so...
Orchi was informed that their inventory is out of stock...
for 93150/580 Heavy Oyster bracelet.

Instead...RSC has issued an immediate order...with Geneva...
to obtain a set Brand New 93150/580 + 2pcs of New Spring-Bars...
for Orchi's 1680 Submariner S/N. 5.60mil...

Orchi was told by the charming lady who attended to Orchi...
that the only setback is...it may take upto 1 month...
before the new bracelet would arrive...

When asked by Orchi whether the existing WORN OUT bracelet would
be required to be returned for exchange with the new replacement bracelet...or not...

The lovely lady replied..."Not required...the WORN OUT bracelet is yours...".

She then went on to issue THIS Cash Bill for Orchi totaling about USD545...
at today's FOREX rate...(Sell Usd 1 = RM 3.35)...(Buy Usd 1 = RM3.40)

Nevertheless...the lady explained that RSC normally would engrave...
the relevant "reference marking" inside of the backcase cover...
to reflect the job for replacement of bracelet...

So buddies...once again thanks for watching this...
n allowing Orchi to share the experience in...
the recent Long Post about Orchi's latest acquisition of
this Ref 1680 White Submariner...

After getting back from RSC...
Many thanks again to Orchi's faithful watchmaker...
he was able to adjust the timing of the Cal.1570 movement...
to run a wee bit faster...in order to keep pace with...
the 16750 GMT...

This was necessary because the 1680 Cal.1570 was losing 10 seconds each day...behind the 16750 Cal. 3075 movement...

So hopefully in 1 months time or so...
Orchi would get to put on the 1680 White Sub...
with a New 93150/580 Heavy Oyster bracelet...

Now Buddies...
would anyone think that the cost of the...
NEW replacement 93150/580 heavy Oyster bracelet...is costly?
