If you have a question about repair of your Rolex watch please do
not hesitate to E-mail or call me with your questions. Also it takes a good deal

and please empty your mail box so my reply doesn't get sent back to me. Please
do not E-Mail me asking me to sell parts as I do not sell parts. I only
repair watches and jewelry and have a hard enough time finding parts for my own
use.
I have a one year no quibble warranty on all repair work.
In my opinion, Rolex truly deserves the quality reputation
their name brings to mind. Rolex makes one of the finest mechanical watches, and
I truly enjoy working on them.
The basic repair charge for a Rolex starts at $295.00. This covers
cleaning and oiling, new gaskets, a new mainspring if needed, and a one year no-quibble
warranty.
Rolex watch bands that appear to have stretched have not stretched,
they have worn out. Dirt becomes imbedded in the soft gold, and acts like sandpaper,
wearing
out the stainless pins. I therefore recommend you buy a new Rolex watch band.
High quality stainless steel generic replacement watch bands
for Ladies and Men's Jubilee, Ladies and men's Oyster are about $86.00 each.
Genuine verses Generic parts:
I deal with reputable parts suppliers, these suppliers have
been providing watch makers with quality genuine and generic parts for years.
Having used the genuine and generic parts for at least thirty years I would say
they are indistinguishable from each other. All of the parts that I would be using in
your Rolex, although they do not
come with the Official Rolex packaging, are quality parts that match or
exceed the quality of identical Rolex parts and, in most cases cost less. If
your watch needs a new crown that will be a genuine Rolex as the crown symbol
on the crown is a Rolex trademark.
There are a lot of after market replacement parts made for Rolex watches.
Most of them are very well made and will work fine on you Rolex watch. Rolex
does not like you using these parts, and will call your watch a counterfeit
watch and may even refuse to work on it without replacing the Non-genuine
parts. The only problem I have encountered with after market parts is sometimes
bezels are not exactly the correct size. When the crystal is not held in
properly, your watch may not be as water resistant as it should be. I do not
get or fit generic bezels for Rolex watches. There are some generic sapphire crystals made to replace the
original Rolex plastic crystals. As I have not had good results with them, I do
not use them in replacement of Rolex plastic crystals.
