HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU   HAVE A ROLEX SERVICED? 

from web site

 

 

It is recommended that your Rolex be serviced every 10 years for continued  

accuracy and waterproofness. Rolex watches should be serviced on a regular  basis, according to official Rolex retailers and service centres. 

To preserve sustained accuracy and waterproofness, Rolex watches should be  repaired every ten years, depending on the model and real-world usage. Your Rolex  watch should be professionally serviced at an Official Rolex Retailer or Service  Centre on a periodic basis. 

Rolex watches need to have their oils replaced at set intervals. Time and heat will  cause the synthetic lubricants used by watch manufacturers to evaporate. The  build-up of debris and grime will be caused by the mechanical sheering caused by  the pivots running dry. It is possible that they will eventually break down. This is  why it is so important to service the watch before it reaches that stage. The watch  movement should be cleaned and serviced regularly in order to prevent internal  wear.

Watches made by Rolex are water-resistant. Sea-Dweller and Submariner Deep  Sea models are practically waterproof. This could be the single reason why you  should service your watch regularly: if water resistance is important to you. Water resistant watches need special care and attention; Rolex watches are no  exception. You should have your watch regularly tested when you submerge it  underwater frequently. Your local authorised Rolex dealer can conduct dry  pressure tests. If a 100m water-resistant watch can only endure 30m or 3ATM of  depth, it's likely that you'll need to get it serviced. Rolex watches are not  permanently water resistance and require periodical maintenance. 

How Much Does A Rolex Watch Service Cost?  

Services for Rolex watches typically cost about $800. Rolex overhauls normally  cost anywhere between $800 and $1500 depending on your model, its condition,  and the type of work to be done. A certified watchmaker prepares an estimate of  the work that needs to be done after inspecting the watch. Without your  permission and financial approval, Rolex will not service your watch. 

Typically, independent watch services are cheaper than authorized Rolex service  centers, but Rolex does not approve the work. An independent watch repair firm  will charge between $350 and $950 to service a watch. The guarantee on your  Rolex watch will be voided if it is serviced by an independent watchmaker. 

Although maintaining your Rolex watch may seem complicated due to its value  and collectability, it is actually an integral part of its ownership, so servicing should  be done when the watch is in its best condition. Rolex recommends servicing your  watch every 10 years. Servicing is an integral part of ownership, so you should do  it when the watch is in good condition. 

What Happens During A Rolex Service?  

All essential operations are conducted as part of the Rolex service in order to  restore the precision, functionality and appearance of the Rolex . Cleaning is  included in the watch service both internally and externally, including the  tachometer, chromalight, magnetic shield, Oyster water resistant case and the  perpetual-movement. Rolex calibre will be take aparted, and every part will be  thoroughly cleaned. All impurities and grime are removed from the components  during an ultrasonic bath. A 904l stainless steel Jubilee or President bracelet can  only be disassembled by a Rolex horologer who is officially certified. To put it  another way, each folding Oysterlock safety clasp and links will be dismantled and  cleaned individually. 

The Rolex Service Center will study every piece of the movement (mainspring  barrel, dial train, gears, escape wheel, pallet fork, oscillating weight, hairspring) and  replace those that are worn out. Before recasing the watch, lubrication will be  applied to the movement. It's required to lightly lubricate the top and bottom  jewels of the Balance Staff. At the bottom and top of the escape wheel and pallet

fork, there is a need for lubrication. oil is needed for the operation of the gear  trains. In order to re-oil the Mainspring, the qualified watchmaker uses a one-dip  procedure to clean and re-grease the springs. 

To control COSC (contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres) precision +2/-2  seconds per day, the Rolex superlative movement will be inspected and adjusted. 

The Rolex crown (twinlock or triplock), bidirectional or unidirectional bezel (fluted,  domed, tachymeter or cerachrom), bracelet and oyster case will all be polished  back to their original lustre by Rolex servicing. Rolex's superalloys, such as  Everose, Rolesor, and Oystersteel, can be gently polished to eliminate small  scratches. Rolex can polish 18k white gold, 18k yellow gold, 18k rose gold, and  950 platinum in addition to stainless steel 904L. 

Several gaskets in water-resistant Oyster casings are replaced automatically  during the watch service. Replacement of the Triplock screw down crown gaskets  (Submariner, Daytona, Sea Dweller) or Twinlock screw down crown gaskets  (DayDate, Datejust, Oyster, GMT MASTER) gaskets is included in standard Rolex  service prices. According to the model requirements, the watch will also be  controlled for waterproofing: 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).  The water pressure of Rolex watches is tested in the same way as it is tested at  the Rolex manufacture in Switzerland. 

Can Rolex Service Without Papers?  

Rolex will service an authentic Rolex that lacks original documents. Many Rolex  owners do not possess the paperwork. The watch may be serviced at any  authorized service center. 

The Rolex paperwork that comes with a new Rolex wristwatch is the green plastic  card. It has the appearance of a banking card. The title 'Rolex document' or 'Rolex  documentation' comes from the fact that it was originally a paper document. Rolex  cards are similar to watch certification cards. The model reference number and  unique serial number are included. There is a stamp on the green plasticcard with  information about the Rolex store, as well as the date the watch was purchased.  Hence, this card serves as the Rolex warranty card. There was only one green  plasticcard for each Rolex timepiece. A lost or stolen card will not be replaced by  Rolex SA. 

For several valid grounds, original Rolex papers can be missing. The Rolex  maintenance can be performed without the need of any documents. You must  know whether your Rolex has been modified or serviced by an independent  watchmaker without the paperwork. Another useful piece of information is where  it was purchased or who owned it previously. It would be great if you had any  documentation linked to its acquisition. Rolex will service a Rolex without

documents if it is an authentic Rolex, has not been modified, and is not a stolen  timepiece. 

Even if you don't have the original certification papers, Rolex will service your  watch if you ship it to them in the mail or bring it in to one of their Official Rolex  Retailers and Service Centers.
