Rolex watches are made with maximum treatment, taking into consideration every little detail. Such attention to quality is why Rolex has succeeded in getting the chronometer certified status for each view it sells. To be able to wthhold the efficiency of the watches as correct timekeeping products, proper maintenance is necessary at an period of at the least 5 years. But, in the event of watches designed for divers including the Rolex Submariner and the Sea-Dweller, it's sensible to take the view to the Rolex Support Middle every 18 months to check their waterproof status.



In the case of pre-owned Rolex watches, aside from precision in performance, the looks of the view is also provided prime importance. As a result, every pre-owned Rolex, which we provide, moves via a thorough refurbishment method to improve their cosmetic functions along with their performance.

A Complete Overhauling of Your Rolex Watch at the Rolex Support Middle

Rolex Support Centers are approved centers for maintenance Rolex watches. They undertake a comprehensive overhauling procedure that begins with Aesthetic Identification Examination and stops at Quality Control. The maintenance is performed only after having a proper analysis of the view is performed for the appearance and performance. Let us take a deeper look at the measures taken in the overhauling method:

1. Aesthetic Identification Examination: It is really a normal process of every Rolex Support Middle to undertake the Aesthetic Identification Examination with the double purpose to track any stolen Rolex and to recognize any bogus view part. Either way, the view is likely to be confiscated by the Support Center. In addition, if after market components have been fitted to your Rolex, they're replaced with real Rolex pieces while maintenance in order to guarantee the quality of the performance. Through the examination, the watch's reference and successive numbers are noted as well.

2. Thorough Analysis of Your Rolex: The analysis is performed by a professional technician to recognize any error linked to the looks or operation of one's Rolex. The technician makes a listing of all defects in order to right them in the later phases of the method when the maintenance starts. A visible analysis immediately is used with a screening for the timekeeping functionality. During this period, the view is tried for precision, photo-mechanically in four (sometimes five) various jobs for 24 hours. This intensive examination supplies a distinct picture in regards to the detailed precision of one's Rolex watch.

3. Maintenance of the Action and Other Essential Rolex Pieces: Maintenance begins with the whole disassembling of the action therefore that each intricate portion could be washed thoroughly. Because the action might contain lubricants that have hardened, a particular option is used which supports to alter this state. The particular option also helps in dissolving any soil particles that may have accumulated in the movement. During this point, all worn out pieces and closes, like the rotating top and the situation pipe, are replaced with real Rolex parts.

4. Washing and Polishing: The Oyster situation and the band are washed and hand-polished. The band also receives repairs for any worn out portion, disjoint links, and other defects. To keep up the exact same criteria that Rolex follows while making these watches, the Rolex Support Middle wipes and shines the view applying advanced ultrasonic technology.

5. Series of Quality Control Tests: Once your Rolex receives a thorough cleaning, polishing and servicing, it must pass a series of rigorous quality tests such as for instance pressure proof test and the timekeeping test. The pressure proof test is conducted on the Oyster case without the movement inside. A special tank, called a "Mariotte" meter and built with high tech electronics, is employed for this test. Inside the tank, a machine air-pressure is established to test the watch at its guaranteed depth. An identical test can be conducted during the making of Rolex watches at their premises.

As a direct consequence, as soon as you service your Rolex at a Rolex Service Center, you can be assured of receiving the exact same quality in your watch as a whole new Rolex exhibits. Following the watch passes the pressure proof test, it's installed with the movement, re-lubricated and tested for accuracy in timekeeping. When it shows any minor deviations, a unique Rolex device called the "Microstella Tool" is employed to produce micro adjustments to correct those deviations. Once this test can be cleared, the watch is prepared for a final pressure proof test in the Mariotte meter vacuum tank.

6. Final Quality Check by an Expert: Before handing the watch to the client, a professional technician makes a final quality inspection to ensure the watch is free of each possible error, both in features and in operation.

Every Rolex Service Center charges overhauling or servicing fees from the client if the servicing of the watch does not fall in the warranty period. Once the servicing is performed and the payment received, they issue a one-year warranty on the serviced Rolex. This warranty is accepted at every Rolex Service Center located throughout the globe. It is not recommended to select the complete overhaul everytime you take your watch to a service center. Often, the condition of one's watch only requires partial servicing in the form of replacement of crystal, stem, crown or dial refinishing.

Renowned pre-owned Rolex dealers also undertake a complete overhaul before offering such watch for sale. They make an effort to restore used Rolex watches to original Rolex specifications to ensure they look, feel, and perform at least a whole new Rolex.
