How to service and maintain a Rolex watch?

　　Rolex watches are expensive and naturally receive meticulous care from their wearers. Treating a watch with great care not only extends its lifespan but also preserves its pristine appearance. That said, numerous factors affect a watch's working life, such as dust, water ingress, impacts and magnetic fields, all of which have an impact. Therefore, regular servicing is required to extend the lifespan, meaning it can last for many more years. So,Rolex watcheshow should it be maintained?

　　1. Steps and methods

　　1 Wear normally whilst avoiding shocks. The watch will only remain wound with an adequate level of activity. Generally, when the wearer is less active, the watch may run slightly slow, which is normal. It is recommended that first-time users turn the crown 20-30 times to ensure proper winding and operation. Additionally, although the watch is shock-resistant, strong external impacts can easily break the balance staff pivot or train wheel pivots, and can also vibrate the regulator index, affecting timekeeping accuracy.

　　2 Watch water resistance. Try to avoid wearing the watch while swimming or doing laundry. If it gets wet from rain or water contact, do not pull out the crown to adjust the watch at that moment; wipe it dry immediately. As the crown protrudes significantly, try to prevent it from suffering knocks. Pay attention to the clearance between the crown and the case as well: if it is too small, operation will be affected, whereas if it is too large, water resistance performance will be compromised and it will look unsightly.

　　3, prevent magnetisation. Although watches are crafted from materials that are not easily magnetised, timekeeping is heavily affected by magnetic fields, so please keep away from magnetic sources. When wearing a Rolex normally, try to stay away from magnetic fields and avoid getting it wet. Although automatic mechanical watches possess anti-magnetic and water-resistant properties, paying attention to these details during daily use will ensure a longer lifespan.
