Rolex Servicing FAQs
How often should I service my Rolex?
Rolex recommends every 10 years for modern models, but we advise 7-8 years for daily wearers to prevent costly damage.
Will you service my vintage or Rolex watches?
Yes — if your watch is still under the original Swiss Rolex warranty, we are happy to advise or offer you an honest quote. Once the factory warranty has expired, our 24-month service warranty applies.
Do you use genuine Rolex parts?
Yes. We source genuine parts and only use high-quality Swiss alternatives when genuine are unavailable (e.g. some vintage components).
Can you service vintage Rolex watches without 'modernising' them?
Absolutely. We preserve original dials, hands, and case finishing wherever possible.
How much cheaper are you than the official Rolex service centre?
Typically 30-50% less, with faster turnaround and more personal service options.
