Rolex watch servicing ensures that your timepiece will continue to perform optimally and meet Rolex's stringent requirements in terms of precision, reliability and waterproofness throughout its life. The timekeeping accuracy of your watch is largely dependent on high-performance lubricants specially developed by Rolex to minimize friction and prevent wear of components. To guarantee continued accuracy and waterproofness, Rolex recommends that you periodically return your watch to an Official Rolex Retailer or Service Centre for professional servicing, which will always be carried out by a Rolex-approved watchmaker. During a complete service, the watch is dismantled and all of its components – the case, bracelet and movement – are closely examined. The movement is entirely disassembled and all the parts are carefully inspected. Those that no longer meet Rolex requirements are systematically replaced by new components. The movement is lubricated on reassembly. The case and bracelet are re-polished or satin- finished according to their original finish, restoring their shine and lustre while removing any marks or scratches. At the end of the process, your Rolex watch undergoes a series of tests to verify its functions, waterproofness and power reserve, as well as the precision of its movement. After a complete Rolex service, your watch is covered by a service guarantee.
The network of Official Rolex Retailers and Service Centres covers more than 100 countries around the world and draws on the expertise of highly skilled watchmakers, carefully selected and trained by Rolex.
