No matter if it requires repair or replacement parts, having it serviced by a trained professional is crucial to the watch’s integrity and guarantees manufacturer specifications will be followed and that authentic parts will be used during repairs.
Rolex recommends servicing your watch every five to ten years depending on its usage and wear patterns.
Watch Repair
Watches are personal and emotional possessions, a timepiece that expresses your personality, lifestyle and achievements. Family heirlooms that will be passed down for generations. For that reason alone, expert watchmakers are necessary for maintaining them.
Mechanical watches differ significantly from electronic ones in that they contain hundreds of intricately interlocking parts that must work perfectly to function. To maintain this condition, service must be conducted periodically: this involves disassembly, cleaning, reassembly and replacing worn or damaged components as well as refinishing the case and bracelet.
Opting for a reputable watch repair shop is paramount to quality workmanship and reliable results. To get started, get advice from friends or read online reviews; the ideal shop should offer comprehensive Rolex services so your watch can remain properly cared for throughout its lifespan.
Watch Cleaning
Proper maintenance of watches can prevent costly repairs and restorations from being necessary, including avoiding extreme wear, storing it properly in a cool, dry location and having it professionally cleaned and refinished when necessary. Furthermore, choosing an experienced independent watchmaker as your service provider can make all the difference both financially and qualitatively – you’re assured expert advice as well as quality services at a reasonable cost!
At first, servicing a Rolex requires disassembling both its internal movement and watch itself using special tools. A mechanical watch typically features over 100 components while more complex timepieces may contain as many as 1,000 parts. Once Elite Watch Co have removed each individual part from case and movement, they use ultrasonic cleaning technology to thoroughly cleanse each one with special ultrasonic solutions; this process ensures all accumulated dirt or old lubricants which could interfere with proper function are effectively eliminated from every component.
Watch Restoration
Maintaining a precision mechanical watch requires much more than opening its case and adding oil; rather, an effective servicing involves disassembling and cleaning of both its inner workings and external surface – which requires special tools and expertise.
Once the internal components have been cleaned and lubricated, the outer surfaces of both case and bracelet undergo polishing and refinishing to restore their appearance and remove scratches and scuffs that accumulate over time. However, for collectible vintage watches which retain value by staying original without being polished further this step may not be necessary.
Selecting an authorized Rolex service center or qualified independent watchmaker with access to Rolex parts accounts is essential when seeking watch repair. By understanding what your watch actually requires, you may save money by forgoing non-essential aesthetic treatments and services.
