A proper service of a Rolex will ensure that your timeless watch is polished, its movements are running smoothly once again, and any debris or dirt is removed from hard-to-reach places. Regular servicing of a Rolex helps to ensure it retains its value by keeping the movements and mechanisms in working order.
Typically, a full Rolex watch service involves starting from the outside in, stripping and cleaning all parts and replacing any worn items. Before the restoration or service is complete, the functionality of your watch is tested to ensure that it is running as it should before we give it the seal of approval.
