Service standards

Not All Watch Repair Is the Same.

Rolex watches require specialized tools, training, and a precise service process. Many jewelry stores offer watch repair as a side service, without the equipment or process needed for proper Rolex work. That difference affects long-term performance, accuracy, and water resistance—especially when proper pressure testing is not performed.

Common Rolex issues

Rolex Repair Done Right by True Watchmakers.

Not sure what’s wrong with your Rolex? Many issues start small but can lead to bigger problems if left untreated. Here are the most common problems we see and service in-house for our Atlanta-area clients.

01

Rolex Stopped Working

Most Rolex watches are mechanical and do not use batteries. If yours is an Oysterquartz model (caliber 5035 or 5055), it may be a battery issue. For all other models, the cause is typically an internal movement problem. Proper diagnosis is needed before any repair.

02

Rolex Losing Time or Running Fast

Often caused by regulation issues or internal wear that requires precise adjustment.

03

Moisture or Fog Inside a Rolex

A sign of compromised seals or gaskets. Pressure testing and resealing are needed before damage spreads.

04

Scratched or Damaged Rolex Crystal

Affects both appearance and protection. Replacement restores clarity and helps protect the movement.

05

Worn or Loose Rolex Bracelet

Common with daily wear. It can be tightened, repaired, or restored depending on condition.

01

Diagnostic & Full Movement Repair

We inspect the movement, casing, and external components to identify exactly what your Rolex needs, then handle all repair and overhaul work in-house.

02

Water Resistance & Pressure Testing

After any service that opens the case, we pressure test, inspect gaskets, and verify water resistance before your watch leaves the shop—a step many general repair shops skip or overlook.

03

Battery Replacement

Only a small number of Rolex watches use batteries, specifically the Oysterquartz models. If you own one, we diagnose first, replace when needed, and verify performance after installation.

04

Crystal & External Repairs

Cracked or scratched crystals are replaced using materials that match original specifications, restoring both appearance and protection.

05

Bracelet Repair & Adjustment

We tighten, repair, and restore Rolex bracelets affected by everyday wear, from stretched links to more advanced wear or damage.

Rolex repair FAQ

Clear Answers Before Service Begins.

If you need guidance beyond these answers, bring your Rolex in or contact our Johns Creek workshop.

How much does Rolex repair cost?+
Rolex repair costs vary depending on the issue. Simple services like battery replacement are typically quick and affordable, while movement repairs or full servicing depend on the condition of the watch. We evaluate your Rolex first and recommend only the work that’s needed.
How long does Rolex repair take?+
Service needs vary by the type of work, the condition of the watch, and any required parts. After inspecting the watch, we’ll outline the recommended service and next steps.
Do you use genuine Rolex parts?+
We use high-quality parts that meet original specifications and ensure proper performance. During evaluation, we’ll explain exactly what your watch needs and why.
Do I need pressure testing after service on my Rolex?+
Yes. Pressure testing should be performed any time the case is opened, whether for a battery replacement on an Oysterquartz, a crown or crystal replacement, or a full movement service. It should also be done after any impact to the case and as part of routine annual maintenance for dive models like the Submariner and Sea-Dweller. At It’s About Time Inc., pressure testing is a standard part of every applicable service.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?+
Walk-ins are welcome at our Johns Creek location. You can also call ahead at 770-442-9854 if you have questions about your watch or the service you need.
Is it worth repairing a Rolex?+
In most cases, yes. Rolex watches are built to last, and proper repair or servicing helps maintain both performance and long-term value.
What if I’m not sure what’s wrong with my Rolex?+
That’s common. We’ll inspect your watch and explain what’s going on before recommending any service, so you can make an informed decision.
Can I mail my Rolex in for repair?+
Yes. If you’re not able to visit our Johns Creek location, you can mail your Rolex to us for evaluation and service. We provide clear instructions and handle repairs in-house using the same tools and process as our in-store work.
