Rolex watch servicing procedure at El Cronómetro

Assessment of the watch

Your watch is carefully examined by a watchmaker, who draws up an estimate of the work to be done. Once the estimate is approved, the servicing begins.

Dismantling of the movement

The movement is entirely dismantled and all the parts are carefully examined. Those that no longer meet Rolex requirements are systematically replaced.

Cleaning of the components

Each component is cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to remove all traces of impurities.

Refinishing of the case and bracelet

The case is completely disassembled and the middle case, bezel, case back and bracelet are re-polished or satin-finished according to their original finish. These delicate operations require great care and dexterity.

Casing of the movement

The movement – to which the dial and hands have been refitted – is put back into the case once the watchmaker has performed rigorous technical and aesthetic checks of all these elements.

Precision test

After casing the movement, the watchmaker measures its chronometric precision once again and makes any final adjustments necessary for it to meet Rolex requirements.

The case back is then screwed down, and your watch undergoes another Rolex-specific test lasting at least 24 hours to verify the performance of the movement over time.

Waterproofness test

Your watch is pressure-tested in water to check that it is watertight, and thereafter the bracelet is refitted to the case.

Final control

Your timepiece is now ready for a final control in which the watchmaker ensures the watch is functioning perfectly and that its aesthetic appearance is impeccable.
