Removing Scratches from a Rolex Watch
Whether you have minor or deep scratches on the surface of your Rolex, it is important to note that all of the different parts of your watch have different finishes. For example, bracelets may have a brushed finish and the watch case may have a shiny finish. Bracelets can be made of steel or gold. Therefore the person doing the polishing must be exceptionally detail-oriented when taking apart the watch to polish and clean each surface. This is a time-intensive and meticulous process that should only be completed by individuals with extensive experience because you don't want to damage the watch's mechanisms. This is an area where Elite Watch Co. excels as we have performed these services for hundreds of jewelry stores and consumers, with an extremely high level of satisfaction from our customers, often noting our careful attention to detail. We also repair stretched Rolex bracelets.
Parts of Rolex watches that will be polished with our service include:
- the bracelet, clasp, and case ( the case back and the lugs are part of the case).
When watches are polished you can expect the following results:
- minor scratches and scuffs are removed
- deep scratches can often be removed and the part is restored as close as possible to its original appearance.
While your Rolex is being polished, we examine the watch for other potential issues so we inform you of anything else that may need to be addressed now or in the future.
If you have scratch marks on your crystal as well, we can assist with this too.
Ultrasonic Cleaning of Your Watch - The Final Step
After your watch has been polished we want to ensure any dirt and grime remaining on the watch is also removed. Therefore we then proceed with ultrasonic cleaning of your Rolex. This step addresses that any dirt in hard-to-reach places on your Rolex watch is removed so as not to detract from the completed polishing.
Also, it is recommended that you should service every 5 years to ensure that it keeps time correctly and to address any wear and tear that would take away from the value of your watch. By staying on top of watch cleaning and servicing every 5 years, you also avoid more costly repairs. You can think of it like your car needing an oil change, if you fail to do them, instead of paying a few hundred dollars, you can expect to pay thousands when the transmission is damaged.
