Rolex "10 year service intervals"

[PatrickJ]

I spoke to a Rolex service centre watchmaker in St James Square London. He said the 10 year interval is correct. However, if you use the watch in water etc it is better to get it done sooner. Also if you purchase a watch in 2014 (red tag) or a watch in 2015 (green tag) on most models there have been no technical update. The new +2 or -2 is due to regulation only and Rolex have improved lubricants. He said most modern Rolex should be ok with longer service. He mentioned sometimes technical and marketing departments can cross over.

In my opinion green or red tag it is best every 5 years to go to the service centre. Rolex will give you a free service estimate. The estimate will tell you what is needed, best not to leave it 10 years.
