How often should I service this vintage Rolex?
We recommend a complete service every 5-7 years to maintain the Calibre 3035 movement's accuracy and longevity, especially for watches from 1983.
Can I swim with this watch?
While originally water-resistant, we advise against swimming due to its age and vintage gaskets. It can handle splashes but not submersion.
How do I clean the two-tone bracelet?
Use a soft toothbrush with mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid chemicals that may damage the gold.
The date changes slowly around midnight, is this normal?
Yes, the date mechanism on the Calibre 3035 transitions gradually over 15-20 minutes around midnight, which is characteristic of this movement.
Can the acrylic crystal be polished?
Minor scratches can be polished with specialized acrylic compounds. Deep scratches may require crystal replacement by a professional.
