Rolex Watch Repair & Service
Rolex runs a network of Official Rolex Jewelers and Service Centers in more than 100 countries, and it matters which kind you walk into. Some service watches on site with watchmakers selected and trained by Rolex. Others are authorized to arrange servicing and send the watch on to Rolex's service network.
Rolex factory service
Rolex recommends a service approximately every 10 years, depending on the model and how it is worn. A service starts with an estimate. The movement is then fully dismantled, cleaned, reassembled and lubricated, seals are replaced, and accuracy and waterproofness are tested.
- New watch guarantee: five years, international. It does not cover a watch materially modified with non-genuine Rolex parts.
- Service guarantee: two years, international, on a serviced watch.
Independent Rolex service
An independent watchmaker can be a good choice for an out-of-guarantee or vintage Rolex, especially when you want original parts kept rather than replaced. Because the guarantee excludes watches modified with non-genuine parts, ask exactly where any replacement part comes from.
Before you ship, ask
- Is this shop listed on rolex.com, and does it service Rolex watches on site, or is it authorized to arrange servicing, which means the watch goes to Rolex's service network? If it is sent on, does the quote add a fee on top of the service center's charge?
- Will every replacement part be genuine Rolex?
- For vintage pieces: will you keep the original dial, hands and bezel, and return any parts you replace?
- Will I get a written estimate before work starts?
