Complete Rolex Service & Maintenance Procedure
Overhauling a Rolex involves the complete disassembly of the movement, with each component thoroughly cleaned and carefully inspected. Our highly trained watchmakers inspect every part for wear or damage and replace components as necessary using only genuine Rolex parts.
With every Rolex service we provide, the mainspring is replaced to help ensure proper performance and long-term reliability. Once the service is completed, rigorous timekeeping tests and precision adjustments are performed over a 72-hour quality control period to verify accuracy and functionality.
After testing is complete, all gaskets are replaced to help maintain the original factory water-resistant properties of your Rolex. Lastly, the case and bracelet are meticulously refinished to restore your timepiece to a like-new appearance while preserving its original integrity.

Signs Your Rolex Needs Service
One of the most common signs a Rolex requires service is when it begins running fast or slow. Because Rolex watches rely on precision mechanical components, the movement’s lubricants naturally break down over time and require periodic maintenance to ensure reliable performance.
Common signs that your Rolex may require service include gaining or losing time, reduced power reserve, difficulty winding or setting the watch, moisture inside the crystal, or the watch stopping completely.
Our highly trained watchmakers are here to assist with all of your Rolex repair and service needs.
