Rolex Datejust 3135 Service

This Rolex Datejust from Peterborough was on the bench toaday. In need a good old service.

One of the friends and greatest enemies of a watch is oil and grease. It needs these to run yet the oil and grease can solidify, gunge up, or even spread around the watch.

This is why a watch should be fully stripped down to the last screw for a thorough inspection. After this the parts are run through specialist cleaning fluids. Without a regular service parts can wear affecting the timekeeping.

This Rolex has now been serviced cleaned and oiled, and is being tested over a few days for accuracy before the automatic device is reattached. I'll even give the case and bracelet a complimetary clean up!
