Good Info.

This part is interesting:

The early wear is the result of 7 years of use with no service. Unfortunately, many watch owners bypass the advice of the manufacturer to oil and clean the watch periodically. Mechanical watches should be cleaned and oiled every 2-3 years. You will rarely find a watch with no problem after even 5 years without servicing.

Good stuff, Jon. You're looking at the Mack truck of watches - powerful, dependable and ever lasting!!

Chuck · 18 November 2007, 05:39 AM

In reality, how long do you guys wait to service your watches? and do you bring to RSC everytime or to reliable watch craftspeople?

JJ it may well be the Mack truck but even they need proper service and care.
Great link Jon thanks.

Thanks for the link, I have seen it before but it is always good reading.
The last sentence is food for thought:
"It is clear that periodic cleaning and oiling are cheaper than replacing expensive parts."

Here is another good site, also with a bit about the Cal. 3135:

Rolex Service and repair! CLICK!

On that page you can also find the gif pic of the Cal. 3135 that Steve uses as an avatar if you want to save it.
