Perhaps an even more interesting development is the fact that Rolex is now also claimed to officially recommend a 10-year service period for its watches, up from a previous 3. This undoubtedly means some massive savings, as it reduces the required periodical services (used to replace lubricants and check parts for excessive wear) to a third of its previous number. Needless to say, this not only indicates how Rolex has developed its products in a way that enhanced their reliability and long-term performance, but also how Rolex's confidence in the durability of its watches resulted in something that is highly beneficial to the end-consumer.
The absolute majority of other luxury watchmakers tend to stick to a two-year warranty and recommend a 3-year service period
