Rolex service in our own atelier.

Full overhaul, crystal replacement, water resistance, authentication. In Munich, by the same watchmaker who previously sat at the bench at Rolex in Switzerland.

Time Boutique Munich runs its own watchmaking workshop with a permanently employed, trained master watchmaker. Previous tenure at Rolex in Switzerland, decades at the bench. Every Rolex that comes into our workshop passes through the same hands — no outsourcing, no subcontractors.

Whether Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master, Datejust, Day-Date, Yacht-Master, Explorer or Lady-Datejust: you can bring your watch to Munich in person or send it insured from anywhere in Europe. We provide a detailed estimate before anything happens to the movement. Service, maintenance, repair, bezel replacement, bracelet work, polishing or cleaning — every enquiry is inspected first, then discussed, then touched. A defective Rolex receives the same workshop discipline as one coming in for a scheduled overhaul.

For decades Rolex has built on a small number of extremely robust calibers: 3135 in the Datejust 36 and older-generation Submariner, 3235 in the modern Datejust and Submariner Date, 4130 in the Daytona (from 2000), 4131 in the current Daytona (from 2023). Each caliber has its own service intervals, lubrication points and tolerances — we know them.

Materials: Oystersteel (Rolex's in-house variant of 904L, named that since 2018) is a pleasure to polish — but shows every step. Everose, Cerachrom bezels and the older Submariner's aluminium bezel each have their own requirements. We treat every surface separately — and none without your approval. Even in Munich, many Rolex repairs are still quoted before the watch is properly inspected. Not here: a defect, a wear pattern, a bezel swap or a service backlog often looks different from the outside than at the open movement. Only afterwards can we say honestly what the maintenance actually needs.
