Cleaning. Once it is determined whether any part needs replacement, each small piece is carefully placed in an ultrasonic bath to remove any impurities that may have entered the case and could potentially disrupt its functionality. This thorough cleaning process ensures optimal performance and functionality of the piece.

Assembly and Lubrication. Once the freshly cleaned components are dry, the watchmaker meticulously reassembles the movement and applies lubrication to the moving parts. This crucial step involves adjusting for precision, a key requirement upheld by Rolex's stringent brand standards.
