Among the great watch houses in the world, Rolex distinguishes itself in a number of key ways. Perhaps the most obvious difference is that while most fine brands are somewhat fragile, Rolex timepieces are extremely rugged and can be worn in virtually any adverse condition, that nature can create. Rolex invented the water resistant case with screw down crown that produces timepieces that are "at home" in water. The perfection of the self-winding movement may also be attributed to Rolex.

At Rafael Jewelers, when we do a complete servicing of your Rolex, we thoroughly clean the movement, replace any worn parts with GENUINE ROLEX PARTS, polish the case and bracelet to original standards, and reestablish water resistancy to original standards.

To this end, Suzie Kochayan, our master watchmaker, follows a strict set of steps in servicing and refurbishing your beautiful Rolex timepiece.

The step are as follows:

• Complete disassembly of the movement.
• Clean all moving parts in an ultrasonic machine for a thorough, deep cleaning.
• Replace all worn parts with GENUINE ROLEX parts.
• Reassemble movement parts.
• Apply proper lubricants to the movement.
• Time watch and regulate, accordingly.
• Polish bracelet and case to original standards.
• Water test timepiece so that it meets original standards for water resistancy.
• Final testing.
