Restore & Service Any Over Polished Rolex Watch: My Submariner 16613 Before & After With Rolliworks

Calling all Rolex owners! If you own a Rolex watch, then this is a video for you. Whether you're the world's biggest Rolex collector, or a one-watch collection person, nobody can deny that maintaining and servicing a Rolex can be costly. What happens if your watch gets a dent, becomes scratched, or the bracelet is overstretched? What if your watch is not performing as it should be? Or maybe you bought a used Rolex and realize it has been over polished? Sending it off to Rolex may take a long time, and may be extremely expensive depending on your budget, and you may not have as much control as you'd like in terms of the work being done on your watch. I've experienced a lot of these issues with my Rolex watches, in particular, recent problems with my Rolex Submariner (ref. 16613) aka the Bluesy. So, I looked into a company called Rolliworks, who offer restoration of over polished cases using laser welding. After some research, I decided to hire them to service my Bluesy, and in this video I share before and after images and a recap of the experience and results. Whether you own a Rolex Explorer, all-steel Submariner, a combination of precious metals in a Day-date, Datejust, Daytona or Yachtmaster, any and every Rolex can be fixed. But is the service I received any good? Watch this video to find out, and please share your watch servicing and restoration experiences and recommendations.
