Things You'll Need:
- Thumbtack
- Bergeon 6825
- Latex gloves
- Scotch tape
- Gem cloth
-
Step 1
Unclasp your watch and place the thumbtack in the top spoke of the clasp. A small spring bar will pop out.
-
Step 2
Gently place your Rolex onto a flat surface (such as a table) face down.
-
Step 3
Use the Bergeon 6825 to gently twist the backing of the Rolex (much like a monkey wrench). Once it is loosened, you can unscrew the backing yourself.
-
Step 4
Gently press the release button (about 2 to 3 cm from the left of the watch dial) to remove the dial with your thumbtack.
-
Step 5
Use your thumbtack to remove the top of the backing (it looks like the top of a spool) after you've removed the dial.
-
Step 6
Turn the watch over in your hands, and the face should fall out.
-
Step 7
Gently begin to press against the glass interior with a piece of scotch tape. This will pick up any dust particles that have become trapped on the inside.
-
Step 8
Piece your watch back together once satisfied that your watch is clean on the interior. Place the face inside the watch.
-
Step 9
Gently place the watch face down onto your table. Put the dial back into place. It may require a bit of gentle jiggling to get it back into its spot.
-
Step 10
Place the backing spool into place and then screw the dial in.
-
Step 11
Use your thumbtack to hit the release button to lock your dial into place. Pull it and press it to make sure it's properly locked in.
-
Step 12
Put your backing on and screw it back into place. Use your Bergeon to screw it tightly.
-
Step 13
Put the spring bar back into its position and slide it into the clasp. This will take some adjusting. Use a gem cloth to wipe the surface of your watch, and it should now be clean.
