A Rolex watch is a status symbol. It is also a precision instrument that needs to be treated with care if you want it to keep ticking for years to come. 

Here are five tips for keeping your Rolex in good condition from Rolex experts.

Keep it Clean

Rolex watches are known for their quality and durability. However, to keep your Rolex in good condition, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

• Keep your watch clean and dry. Rolex watches are not waterproof, so keep them away from water.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the watch clean. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the watch.
• Make sure the watch is properly lubricated. If it isn’t, it can start to run slowly or stop working altogether.
• Protect your watch from scratches and other damage. There are several ways to do this, such as using a Rolex case or strap.
• Have the watch serviced regularly by a qualified technician. This will help ensure your watch stays in good condition and keeps running properly.

Keep it Dry

If your Rolex gets wet, immediately dry it with a soft cloth. Do not submerge the watch in water or put it near heat sources, such as radiators or ovens.

One of the most important things to remember about Rolex watches is to keep them dry. This means avoiding contact with water as much as possible. If you accidentally get your Rolex wet, be sure to dry it off immediately and get it serviced by a professional. In addition, store your Rolex in a dry place when not wearing it.

Keep it Wound

Rolex watches are made to last a lifetime. With proper maintenance, your Rolex can keep ticking for many years. Here are a few tips to keep your Rolex wound.

• Wind your Rolex every day. It only takes a few minutes to give your Rolex a quick wind. It’s important to do so every day to keep it running smoothly.

• Don’t overwind your Rolex. It’s easy to get carried away and wind your Rolex too tightly, but this can damage the movement. Wind it just enough so that the watch is snug on your wrist.

• Store your Rolex in a safe place. When you’re not wearing your watch, be sure to store it in a safe place where it won’t get damaged. A watch box or jewellery pouch is ideal for this purpose.

• Avoid exposing your Rolex to water. Although Rolexes are water resistant, they are not waterproof. Exposure to water can cause damage to the movement and other internal components.

• Get your Rolex serviced regularly. Like any other mechanical device, your Rolex will need periodic servicing to keep it running smoothly. Contact your local jeweller for more information on how often you should have your Rolex serviced.

Keep its Settings Correct

Make sure the date and time are correct, and that the hands are pointing to 12 o’clock when you’re done winding it.

Store it Properly

When you’re not wearing your Rolex, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. You may want to consider using a watch winder to keep it wound when you’re not wearing it.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your Rolex will stay in good condition for many years.
