not sure if this was ever posted, so apologies in advance if it has been but this video answers most common questions in under 5min. imo, they're not gospel but you might find it useful.

good post and looks like TRF has got that covered

The bit about servicing the watch is bull****... it is just Rolex wanting to get $650+ every 3-5 years unnecessarily...

SeaDweller50 · 28 May 2014, 03:18 AM

Very informative but do not agree with the 3-5 yr service interval. 5 at a very minimum.

rmfnla · 28 May 2014, 03:36 AM

I also don't think scratching the case back if the watch sits on the clasp is very likely...

Great finding CJ. Thanks for sharing.

#3. Rinse after swimming...

Does this mean it's OK to swim with the Rolex???

;-)

Glad to know I was following step 4 correctly - lay it down on its side with the crown downward

77T · 28 May 2014, 04:15 AM

For those who dislike scratches and swirls, the 3-5 year interval makes sense. Otherwise not for me either.

gsgarbear2 · 28 May 2014, 04:26 AM

Great video. Thanks.

The problem is this affects the regulation, and not necessarily in the way you want:

You can swim with it!

It happened to my Milgauss quite quickly. That guy is Jamie from the Rolex place at One Hyde Park in London. A Blog to Watch has a longer interview with him from around the same time. Just search Rolex Service on Youtube.

Perhaps it depends on the clasp type.

My DJ has the older (tin can) style and have been placing my watch face-up for over 20 years with nary a mark...

jamesbondOO7 · 29 May 2014, 04:33 AM

I keep it on at night.

ExplorerChris · 29 May 2014, 05:13 AM

Great video and thanks for posting it.
I would think every five years would be good.
I feel lucky that I'm less than an hour away for the Rolex Canada office and can deal directly with them.

According to another thread on TRF this is fairly common.

I'd never get to sleep with a watch on my wrist...
