How Often To Service Rolex

Rolex watches need to be serviced at least every ten years, depending on the model and real-world usage to ensure sustainability and accuracy. For professional service, Rolex recommends taking your watch periodically to an authorized Rolex retailer or service centre.

In order to ensure continued accuracy and waterproofness, Rolex watches should be serviced approximately every ten years. Official Rolex Retailers and Services Centres recommend that you service your Rolex watch on a periodic basis.

Rolex watch oils must be replaced on a regular basis. The synthetic oils used by watchmakers will evaporate and dry up over time. Debris and dirt will build up due to the mechanical sheering caused by the pivots running dry. It's possible that they'll break down altogether at some point. This is why servicing a wristwatch before it reaches that level is highly suggested. To avoid internal corrosion, a watch movement should be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals.

Rolex watches are water-resistant. Models like the Sea-Dweller and Submariner Deep Sea are nearly watertight. When it comes to water resistance, regular service of your watch may be the most crucial component. There is more care and attention required for watches that are regularly exposed to water; Rolex watches are no exception. When you constantly submerge your watch underwater, it is crucial to get it examined on repeated intervals. Dry pressure tests are available through Rolex dealers. your 100-meter/10ATM water-resistance watch will need to be serviced if it can only withstand 30m or 3ATM of pressure. Rolex watches have a limited water resistance and must be serviced at periodic intervals.

All of the operations required to restore all of the functions, accuracy and beauty of the Rolex watch are included in the Rolex servicing. The watch is cleaned both within and externally, including the scratch-resistant cerachrom, folding crownclasp, paramagnetic, Oyster case and the perpetual-movement. The Rolex movement will be dismantled, and every element will be thoroughly cleaned individually. To remove all dirt and impurities, each watch elements is cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. A professional Rolex watchmaker has the expertise and understanding to take apart a 18 ct Everose gold Jubilee or President bracelet with care. Folding Oysterlock safety clasp, links and elements will be removed and each constituent cleaned one by one separately.

Rolex Service Center will evaluate every aspect of the movement (mainspring, dial train, pivots, centre wheel, pallet fork, oscillating weight, hairspring), and worn parts will be replaced. Before the watch is re-cased, lubricants will be applied to the self winding movement. With a light lubricant, the bottom and top jewels of the Balance Staff will be oiled. The jewels on the bottom and top of the escape wheel and pallet fork need to be lubricated. pivots in gear trains may require oil. A skilled watchmaker cleanses and re-lubricates the springs using a one-dip process to re-oil the Mainspring.

The Rolex band, case, bidirectional or unidirectional bezel and screw-down crown (twinlock or triplock) will all be polished back to their original brilliance by Rolex servicing. Rolex's superalloys, such as Everose, Rolesor, and Oystersteel, can be gently polished to eliminate light marks. Stainless steel 904L, 18ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold, 18ct rose gold, and 950 platinum are among the metals that can be polished during the Rolex service.

Multiple gaskets in water-resistant Oyster casings are replaced automatically during the watch service. The replacement of the Triplock crown triple waterproofness gaskets (Submariner, Daytona, Sea Dweller) or Twinlock crown gaskets (DayDate, Datejust, Oyster, GMT MASTER)is included in Rolex's standard service fee. We will test the watch's waterproof capabilities to ensure it meets the model specifications as well: waterproof to 100 metres / 330 feet (most Rolexes), waterproof to 300 metres / 1000 feet (Submariner), waterproof to 1220 metres / 4000 feet (Sea Dweller) and waterproof to 3900 metres / 12800 feet (Deep Sea). When Rolex watches are put to the test for water resistance, the technique is the same as it is at the Rolex manufacture in Switzerland.
