Why Choose Our Rolex Service in the Netherlands?

  1. Specialized Rolex Expertise

    Our horlogers have extensive training and years of experience servicing Rolex watches, both vintage and modern. From Oyster Perpetuals to vintage Datejust, Submariner, Daytona, and GMT‑Master II, we know each caliber inside out. We don’t rely on third-party providers—we handle your watch personally, from inspection to delivery.

  2. Comprehensive Service Process

    Drawing from industry best practices and Rolex’s own standards, our complete Rolex service includes:

    • Full disassembly: Every component, from case to movement, is meticulously dismantled.

    • Ultrasonic cleaning: Parts are cleaned to remove dust, oil, and microscopic debris

    • Inspection and replacement: Each piece is examined for wear. Necessary parts are serviced or replaced using original or approved components ().

    • Precision lubrication: All moving parts are oiled with appropriate lubricants to minimize friction—ensuring longevity ().

    • Reassembly and calibration: The movement is rebuilt, regulated, and tuned to Rolex’s chronometer standards.

    • Case and bracelet refurbishing: We offer optional polishing to restore the original finish.

    • Water resistance testing: We seal and pressure-test the watch to maintain Rolex’s legendary water resistance.

    • Final quality control: We perform a thorough final check on aesthetics and mechanical performance.

    This holistic approach mirrors Rolex’s official centers, but with the added advantage of personalized attention and transparency.

  3. Transparent Pricing with Honest Estimates

    Our Rolex maintenance and repair fees are clear and fair. Standard full-service starts at approximately €495 for a movement overhaul, excluding parts. Glass replacement begins around €75 and bracelet refurbishment rates depend on condition and style.

    For luxury chronographs or special models, charges may range between €595–€795. We provide accurate quotes within 2 hours after photo-and-model submission—or in-person visits are welcome for more precise estimates.

  4. Speed & Convenience in The Netherlands

    Unlike sending your Rolex abroad, our local workshop ensures you always know where your watch is. Typical turnaround times range between 3–5 weeks, unlike Rolex service centers, which takes months.

  5. Personal Touch & Communication

    Every watch we handle receives customized care. We keep you informed throughout the process, discuss repair options (e.g., polish vs. preserving patina), and respect your preferences.

Rolex Revision Proces

Intake, Upon receiving your timepiece, we conduct a thorough examination of all its components before commencing our revision process. Any deviations from our standard procedure will be meticulously documented and discussed with you to ensure complete transparency. Once this step is completed, we proceed to the next phase.

Checking Oil, One of the standard aspects encompassed in Rolex revision is the renewal of oil. After several years, the quality of the oil in the movement diminishes, resulting in decreased lubrication and potential wear, which can also affect the timepiece’s accuracy.

Checking Seals, Another component of Rolex revision involves inspecting the seals. These seals ensure the water resistance of your Rolex watch. Rolex has a renowned reputation in this regard, having introduced the first waterproof watch to the market in 1926. In 1960, a Rolex watch was attached to the exterior of a submarine that descended to a depth of eleven kilometers.

The watch remained watertight and resistant to the tremendous pressure at that depth, a remarkable achievement in which the seals played a crucial role. Seals can dry out over time, potentially compromising water resistance. Therefore, it’s essential to address this issue and, if necessary, replace the seals during the Rolex revision process.

Apart from diminished oil quality, parts in your Rolex watch movement may wear out over time. Rolex revision also encompasses the replacement and/or repair of parts subject to wear. It’s important to note that Rolex watch parts are not always readily available. The search for replacement parts can take some time, and it’s possible that a specific part may not be obtainable at all.

A final aspect of Rolex revision deserving attention is the re-adjustment of the movement. Understandably, this task requires experience, knowledge, and concentrated effort.

Why Regular Rolex Maintenance Matters

Rolex designs its watches to last a lifetime—and beyond. However, mechanical movements consist of dozens of micro-components working together; even minor degradation, lack of lubrication, or seal wear can lead to performance issues, water damage, or costly repairs later.

Recommended Maintenance Intervals

  • Modern Rolex (post‑2015): General guideline leans toward service “as needed” or every 7–10 years—ideally with intermediate checks for water seals every 3–5 years ().

  • Older or vintage models: More frequent service (every 3–5 years) is advised due to aging parts and limited stock ().

  • Active use in water or physical activity: More regular water testing and preventive care are wise ().

Benefits of Routine Rolex Watch Service

  • Preserves chronometric precision and reliability.

  • Protects against water ingress, oxidation, and moisture.

  • Extends mechanical lifespan, reducing likelihood of extensive repairs.

  • Maintains aesthetic value—whether by cleaning, or respectfully preserving vintage character.

  • Enhances resale or heirloom value.
