OPEN: M-F 9-3 EASTERN STANDARD TIME CLOSED SAT & SUN. We are not affiliated with rolex sa,rolex USA or any watch company .all trademarks are theirs .this listing is not for the sale of watches,but for service and repair.please e-mail us if you have any questions .please read this article watch care guide your watch is a precision instrument and needs regular servicing to insure that it functions properly.maintenance includes battery replacement,cleaning and lubrication of the movement.the frequency for having your watch serviced depends entirely on the model.the climate and owner's individual care of the watch we recommend every 3 to 5 years for servicing.the gaskets and crown which seal the case are subject to wear and deterioration under normal use. these parts should be inspected and replaced as needed each time the watch is opened for service. never open the watch yourself a watch's water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed it is affected by the age of the gaskets or an accidental hit to the crown.water resistant with out a depth indication is designed to withstand accidental splashes of water only.do not submerge such a watch.higher levels of water resistance are indicated by increasingly higher acceptable depths,usually indicated in meters.there are a variety of ways to make a watch resistant.all such watches use rubber gaskets or "O" rings to seal the case back.a watch with a back that screws into the case provides a higher degree of water resistance.some crowns (the "winding stem") actually screw into the case to further increase water resistance.make sure that your crown is either screwed in or pushed back to its neutral position to prevent water from entering the mechanism this also includes chronograph buttons.do not operate chronograph pushers underwater to avoid water entering the mechanism.please note that we do not recommend swimming or diving with your watch unless it has a screw -down crown (also known as'screw-lock or 'screw-in' crown)and is water resistant to at least 100 meters.always rinse your watch with warm water after swimming in the ocean.always make sure your watch is dry after it has been exposed to water.by taking a few minutes and thoroughly drying your watch with a lint-free cloth,you will prevent rust from forming.this is a key point in ensuring the long life of your watch.the crystal is the transparent part of the watch through which you tell time,as we discussed with water,a watch may have a scratch-resistant crystal,however no crystal is truly scratch proof,therefore it is not advisable that you toss your watch onto the dresser or into drawer at the end of the day.its better for the watch to store or wrap it ina soft cloth before placing it down the more care you take with the watch,the less scratches you will end up with.replace broken or scratched crystals immediately.even a hairline crack can let dust or moisture into the mechanism ,threatening its accuracy. if you participate in activities that cause excessive sweat or perspiration, you may want to consider getting a watch with a metal bracelet or rubber,instead of a leather strap.watches that have natural and genuine leather straps will gradually deteriorate with constant exposure to perspiration. watches that run on batteries are known as "quartz"watches.the batteries will last anywhere from one to several years.Watches that do not need battery replacement include automatic(self winding) watches and solar-powered watches(which have a rechargeable battery).Please consult the watch's manual if unsure what type of watch you have. Although automatic mechanical watches do not have batteries,some easy-to-follow maintenance is necessary for continued and long-lasting good use.Self-winding automatic watches depend on the movement of the arm to operate and do require some winding,even if you wear your watch on a daily basis.If you wear your automatic watch everyday,it is best to wind it once,every two weeks to keep the wheels in motion and oil fluid.Simply wind the crown(the same knob used to adjust the time and date) until you meet slight resistance.If you do not wear your automatic watch everyday, you should try to wind it at least twice a week to ensure continuous operation, as well as keeping the inside mechanism in complete running order. Try to wind your mechanical watch at the same time every day. This is extremely beneficial for the mechanism.Avoid setting the day and/or date at night. The day-date mechanism is activated during the nighttime hours and could be disrupted if set at this time. And, always avoid wearing your mechanical watch, if you are playing a sport requiring continuous arm motion(e.g. tennis, baseball, golf), since continuous arm motion could damage the movement. To ensure that you receive excellent service from your new timepiece, here are some things to avoid: Avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigerators, since they generate a powerful magnetic field. Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics etc., since they damage the bracelet, case of gaskets. Recommendations for the owner of antiquarian watches: All Antique and vintage watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches). - Antique and vintage watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive. - Antique and vintage watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture. - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust. - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc. - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard. - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement. - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours). - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism. - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches. - IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down. - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth. - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement. - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed. - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-10 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
