How should I clean my vintage Rolex?
Gently wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging vintage watches and never use chemicals or soap on the dial or bezel.
Does it need regular servicing?
Yes, for optimal performance, a mechanical watch should be serviced approximately every 5-7 years by a qualified watchmaker familiar with vintage Rolex movements.
Can the acrylic crystal be polished?
Yes, light scratches on the acrylic crystal can often be polished out with specialized products, preserving the vintage character without replacement.
Is the Tritium lume still active?
