Specialty
Rolex Servicing
While we service a wide range of vintage mechanical movements, Rolex remains our primary focus. We utilize original Rolex tooling, maintain an extensive inventory of genuine factory parts, and can source virtually anything required for a specific model.
We work across the full spectrum of vintage Rolex, from early 1900s trench watches to late 1980s Submariners, and plenty in between.
Victor Bonnaire is an independent workshop and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Rolex SA or any of its subsidiaries.
Before You Book
Common Questions
How often should I service my vintage watch?+
Most vintage mechanical watches benefit from a full overhaul every 5 to 7 years, depending on wear frequency and movement condition.
Do you service vintage Rolex watches?+
Yes. Pre-1990s Rolex is a core specialty. We understand original parts sourcing, dial preservation, and the correct service procedures.
How long does a service take?+
Typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on the watch, parts availability, and our current workload. Chronographs often take longer.
Will servicing affect my watch's value?+
A proper service done with care protects and can enhance value. We never make irreversible changes without explicit approval.
Can I ship my watch for service?+
Absolutely. We serve collectors nationwide. You send your watch, we evaluate, you approve, and we do the work. Fully insured both ways.
Do you service quartz or battery-powered watches?+
No. We focus exclusively on mechanical movements.
