Rolex Full Mechanical Service

Purpose: Get your Rolex running to spec for real-world wear—without erasing its history.

What’s included (base)

  • Intake & diagnosis — functional checks, timegrapher baseline, magnetism test; note your wear style and WR goal.
  • Complete teardown & ultrasonic clean — movement fully disassembled; case/bracelet deep-cleaned.
  • Parts included — new mainspring + new gasket set (where applicable).
  • Reassembly & lubrication — correct oils/greases and procedures; end-shake & tolerances set.
  • Regulation & control — multi-position rate, amplitude, beat error; demagnetise if needed; power-reserve & autowind checks.
  • Testing — 48–72 h run test; pressure test where the case allows; we log pressure + date.
  • Finish (patina-first) — clean only by default; light refinishing available on request (extra).
  • Documentation — timing sheet + service notes; WR test card (if tested).

What’s extra (quoted & approved first)

High-value movement parts (e.g., balance assembly/staff, escape/pallet, autowind parts, reversers), crowns/tubes/pushers, hands/dial work, any crystal replacement (acrylic/sapphire), bezel/inserts, and light refinishing if you request it.

Crystal policy

Crystals are not included in the base service.

  • Acrylic (plexi, vintage): we may polish light marks when feasible; replacement is quoted.
  • Sapphire: quoted (part + install). If damage prevents meeting your WR target, we’ll advise and quote before continuing.

Water-resistance note

WR is valid at the time of test only; wear, age and shocks can change it. If you swim/dive, we recommend annual checks.

Patina stance

We preserve honest wear and original character. No heavy polishing unless you ask for it.

31xx (3130/3135/3185/3186), 32xx (3230/3235/3285), classic 15xx families, selected others. Note: parts access on some modern references is restricted to brand channels; we’ll confirm options and timing at intake.

Patina-first. Clean by default; light, sympathetic refinishing on request (extra). No heavy polishing unless you ask.

We test and document WR at service. It’s valid at the time of test only. Annual checks recommended if you swim/dive.

However, user error may still allow water to get into the watch. Due to this, we offer no warranty for waterproofness - only a certificate that while in service in controlled conditions and no user error the watch has passed WR testing.

Usually 2–5 weeks. Buy the service, choose return-shipping, complete the intake, ship to us; we confirm any extras, service the watch, and return it insured & tracked.
