Maintain your Rolex watch with an approved watchmaker

Are you lucky to have a magnificent Rolex watch? Congratulations ! It is a precious investment that must be cherished and maintained with care. Whether you are a long -standing enthusiast or a new owner, here is my best tips for keeping your Rolex in perfect condition.

Regular cleaning

The first step to preserve your Rolex watch is regular cleaning. Avoid wearing it when you do the dishes, cleaning or any other activity that could expose it to chemicals or water. Gently wipe it with a soft and dry cloth after each use.

For deep cleaning, I recommend that you have it examined by a Rolex approved watchmaker every 5 to 7 years. They will have the necessary equipment and expertise to gently clean it without damaging the mechanism.

Watch out for water

Although most rolex watches are waterproof, it is preferable to avoid prolonged contact with water. Do not wear it during the shower, swimming or any aquatic activity. If it is exposed to water, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.

It is also important to regularly check the waterproofing of your watch by a professional. Over time, seals can deteriorate and compromise water protection.

Storage and transport

When you don't wear your rolex, store it in a case or a box specially designed for watches. This will avoid scratches and shocks that could damage the case and mechanism.

If you have to travel with your watch, transport it in your hand luggage rather than your recorded suitcases. Thus, you will keep it out of shocks and sudden manipulations.

Avoid shocks and impacts

Rolex watches are precision mechanisms, so they must be handled with care. Avoid dropping or bumping them against hard surfaces. If your watch undergoes a significant shock, have it checked by an approved watchmaker, even if it seems to work normally.

Bracelet maintenance

The bracelet of your Rolex watch also requires special attention. Clean it regularly with a soft cloth and a soft soapy solution. Avoid aggressive chemicals that could alter metal.

If your bracelet has removable links, have them checked and adjust by a professional from time to time. This will maintain a perfect and comfortable adjustment.

Protect the dial

The dial of your Rolex watch is the most fragile element. Avoid scratching it by protecting it from shocks and scratches. Wear your watch carefully and avoid placing it on hard surfaces.

If the dial is damaged, do not try to repair it yourself. Call on a Rolex approved watchmaker who can replace it with the original parts.

Crown interview

The crown of your Rolex watch is an essential element to settle the time and date. Handle it gently and avoid forcing it. If it becomes difficult to turn, have it checked by a professional.

After each use, make sure that the crown is well screwed to preserve the waterproofing of your watch.

Periodic revision

Like any precision mechanism, your Rolex watch requires periodic revision. I recommend that you have it checked by an approved watchmaker every 5 to 7 years. They can carry out a complete cleaning, check the proper functioning of the mechanism and replace the worn parts if necessary.

This regular revision will assure you that your Rolex watch remains in perfect working order for many years.

By following these tips, you can fully enjoy your Rolex watch for many years. Do not hesitate to consult a professional in case of doubt or problem. Your precious watch the merit!
