Rolex Band Repairs & Bracelet Restoration
Is your Rolex bracelet feeling loose, stretched, or just not as comfortable as it once was? Over time, dirt, foreign particles, and damaged pins can wear out your Rolex bracelet-especially if it isn’t cleaned regularly. With a broken or worn-out Jubilee or Oyster bracelet, you risk losing your watch entirely. Every time you move your wrist, any debris trapped between the links grinds away at the metal, causing the fit to loosen and the spaces between links to stretch further. Left unchecked, this can eventually lead to breakage.
Regular cleaning and professional servicing are essential to maintain the performance, comfort, and value of your Rolex bracelet. By keeping your bracelet free from dirt and having worn pins or links repaired, you safeguard your watch and ensure it remains a cherished heirloom for years to come.
Why Restore Your Rolex Bracelet?
A Rolex that remains in its original configuration will always hold its value better. In recent years, Rolex timepieces have seen significant increases in value. Protecting your investment with bracelet restoration is a cost-effective way to maintain both value and wearability. A Rolex in good condition, with its original bracelet, is far more appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Before
POLISHED
One of the two most commonly seen finishes on the case of a watch. A polished, mirror-like finish. This is most commonly achieved by using various polishing wheels and polishing compound. Full polish case looks extremely smart and is most often seen on all watches. Rolex Watches have a polished and a satin brushed finish. The satin finish is done with special Swiss satin wheels. This finish is done on Rolex Oyster bands and Jubilee bands and President bands.
After
BRUSHED SATIN
The second of the most commonly seen case finishes is brushed. Brushed finishes can vary significantly, but all feature uniform scratches on the case all in the same direction. There are two types of brushed finish. Straight grain, and circular grain. The circular grain is most commonly found on circular parts of the watch, such as the case back or bezel. With straight grain brush on the case back and circular grain surrounding the case back and under the lugs.
Before
SAND/BEAD BLASTED
Sand or bead blasted finishes are less frequent on luxury watches. Blasting the case with flecks glass much like sand or fine beads gives the case a matte and rugged look. Almost looking like the watch has no finish at all due to the uniform and blank appearance of the case. It is only on very close inspection can the fine grain of the sandblasting process can actually be seen.

How to Care for Your Rolex Bracelet
