Best Rolex Watch Repair in San Diego

Having your Rolex watch completely overhauled at Leo’s means one of our Swiss-trained watchmakers will perform these 6 steps:

1. Carefully disassemble your Rolex watch case, bracelet, and movement
2. Meticulously clean your case and bracelet with an ultrasonic cleaner
3. Clean your movement and then lubricate it to factory-like condition
4. Electronically calibrate the movement and carefully assemble the watch
5. Perform a watch pressure test to ensure the case is water resistant
6. Test the Rolex to make sure it’s keeping accurate time

Once all of these 6 steps are completed, we’ll call you when your watch is ready to be picked up!

Simply put, a pressure test will test for leaks in your watch.

A watch that is fully water resistant and passes the Rolex pressure test will be completely sealed at these three entry points:

1.  Sapphire crystal
2. Watch case back
3. Buttons/pushers

Once all of these 6 steps are completed, we’ll call you when your watch is ready to be picked up!

If you notice water or rust on the dial of your watch, then that usually means that your crown wasn’t completely tightened down when it came into contact with water. You might also have a leak in a gasket, crystal, or some other part of your watch.

Getting water in your watch will cause the dial, hands, case, and movement of your watch to rust and decay so it’s best to bring it in to a Rolex watch repair facility to have an expert take a look and do a pressure test.

Most often, customers bring water damaged Rolex watches after certain times of the year that require unscrewing the crown and changing the time or date. Daylight saving time requires the hour hand to be set an hour ahead or behind, and 28 or 30 day-months require the date display to be moved forward to the 1st of the month. We completely understand it’s necessary to make these minor adjustments on your watch, but you must be very careful to avoid water damage. The best solution? Regularly have your Rolex inspected by one of Leo’s Rolex watch repair technicians.

Like a car engine, Rolex watches need to have their moving parts serviced in order to keep them moving properly. You’d typically have your car’s oil changed every 3,000 miles, and your Rolex watch needs to be serviced every 3 to 5 years.

Don’t wait for a problem to occur before getting your Rolex watch serviced!
