We do not repair Rolex watches, because we, like many other skilled independent watchmakers, cannot obtain spare parts from Rolex. In fairness, Rolex is not alone in this anti-competitive practice as many of the other "high-end" Swiss brands (e.g. See similar questions...

Rolex doesn't release exact numbers, however, according to industry estimates and considering the number of Chronometer certificates issued to Rolex over the past few years, it's safe to assume that Rolex produces somewhere between 700,000 to 800,000 watches annually. On the other hand, it is believed that counterfeiters produce over ten times that number! See similar questions...

This has been a big misconception regarding Rolex watches, "sweeping" versus "ticking". And in the past people used this as a method of identifying counterfeit Rolex watches. The truth is, genuine Rolex watches do, in fact, "tick". However, they tick at around 5 to 6 times per second, so it gives the illusion of "sweeping" or "floating" around the dial. If you watch the second hand with a loupe you can see it. See similar questions...

In a word -- YES! Replica watches are, in fact, counterfeit and therefore are ILLEGAL. Any product that includes copyrigtht and/or trademark names or logos (without the copyright and/or trademark owner's permission) is considered to be counterfeit. On January 17, 2001, the U.S. District Court in Columbia, SC, charged two individuals with selling allegedly counterfeit versions of Rolex watches. Their website claimed the watches to be "replicas".

In general, I only repair watches that I have sold and for these, I offer a repair service at low cost. Russian watches are sold fairly often without any warranty etc. on Internet auctions or at markets. For capacity reasons, I am not able to service these. See similar questions...

No we do not. The cylinder escapement was quite advanced when it was invented by Tompion in 1659, but it fell out of use in the late 19th century as it was supplanted by the far more efficient and accurate English Lever escapement. We find that, in most cases, the cylinder watches we run across are not good candidates for restoration and can seldom be made into good timekeepers. We also find that the cost of restoration often exceeds the value of the watch. See similar questions...

No, we definitely do not. "Replica" is just a nice name for "counterfeit" and we do not support the counterfeiting of goods. The sellers of replica watches rip-off their customers by selling them a cheaply made watch for which there are no repair parts available. They also rip-off the companies whose watches they copy. They don't have any intention of standing behind the product they sell. Buy a replica (counterfeit) watch and you'll get even less than you paid for. See similar questions...
