Wear Your Rolex Often To Keep It Running<\/h2>\n

A Rolex watch is too beautiful to just sit in a drawer, and it should be something that you wear frequently and enjoy. However, in addition to looking great on your wrist, wearing a Rolex helps keep it running. Rolex’s self-winding Perpetual movement captures the subtle movements of your arm as you move it throughout the day, but if you leave it off your wrist too long, it will eventually come to a stop and require resetting.<\/p>\n

Most Rolex models need to be worn every day (or some every other day) in order to stay running. Letting your watch stop will not damage its movement, but it can sometimes be inconvenient to have to reset the time and date before you can use it again. If you only wear your Rolex watch on special occasions, you can help keep your watch from stopping by using a watch winder, which will keep it running no matter how long it spends off your wrist.<\/p>\n

You Should Occasionally Clean Your Rolex<\/h2>\n

First things first, this only applies to Rolex watches with Oyster cases – if your Rolex isn\u2019t specifically water resistant, do not try this at home.<\/p>\n

Like any other piece of jewelry, your Rolex needs to be occasionally cleaned. Daily wear and tear can leave dirt and oil in crevices which can build up over time and make it appear dull. Besides that, dirt and grime can trap particles and act as an abrasive, wearing down the metal components of your case and bracelet.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure that your Rolex remains clean.<\/p>\n
