How to Know My Rolex Needs Repairs

One of the reasons people love the Rolex brand is because the name Rolex is synonymous with quality. When you purchase a Rolex you know that you are getting good value for the money you are about to spend. 

You have likely heard that Rolex watches last a lifetime and that is true if they are taken care of and maintained over the course of that lifetime. When you notice that your Rolex is not operating as smoothly as it should, get in touch with us for fast and affordable Rolex repair service. Servicing your Rolex will ensure it remains in the best condition possible. 

If you are unsure of when to get your Rolex serviced, there are some signs that you definitely need to look for a repair shop sooner rather than later. Below, we will go over what those signs are to help you identify if your watch is due for service. 

The Time Is Inaccurate 

If the time on your Rolex watch is never accurate, this is a problem. Rolex watches are known to be very accurate and work flawlessly, so if you are setting yours to the correct time and it is not keeping up or showing an inaccurate time, you need to have it serviced. 

The most common reason for issues with time is due to the battery. Therefore, the repair needed to restore your Rolex’s function could be as simple as a battery replacement. 

You Live in a Humid Area 

You know that wet and sticky feeling you get living in a very humid area? Well, your watch feels that too. 

Humidity can eventually cause water to seep into the watch and cause problems with the internal mechanical components. 

If you do live in a very humid climate, it is recommended you have a modern Rolex serviced every 8 years or so. 

Adjustments Are Hard to Make 

In most cases, you will never need to make an adjustment to your Rolex’s date and time because it will function properly and accurately. However, if you ever do need to make an adjustment, you should be able to do so easily. 

If you find that making adjustments is hard, then it is time to seek out a Rolex repair center. It is possible that the hands on the watch are broken or stuck, amongst other issues. 

Your Watch Is Older 

Modern Rolex watches only need to be serviced about once every 10 years; however, older watches will need to be serviced more often. 

Older watches utilize different lubricants than what are used today, which means they do not last as long as they once did. Making sure to have your vintage watch serviced every three years or so will ensure that the lubricants stay fresh and the watch works appropriately.
