Rolex Dial Restoration Service

Dial damage is a common issue in watch maintenance - but it’s one we specialize in fixing. Whether your dial has faded, rusted, or been scratched, we offer expert restoration and authentic replacements to bring your timepiece back to life.

Sun Exposure

Over time, sunlight can discolor your watch dial, especially if the crystal has been replaced with a low-quality aftermarket part that lacks proper UV protection.

What You Can Do:

• Replace the dial with an authentic Rolex dial from our curated collection. This is the best option. It allows you to keep your watch authenticity and have something fresh or unique. It also presents a great opportunity to refresh an older watch with a newer dial. For example, a Rolex Datejust model 16014 from the early 1980s can accept a dial from the more modern 116334 (released in the 2000s) without any modification.
• Restore the original dial through professional resurfacing and refinishing. This is NO longer to be considered an authentic dial. And the quality is not going to be as crisp and perfect as an authentic Rolex dial. It's an excellent option for those who want to preserve original to the watch components - especially if the watch holds sentimental value. Keeping authentic parts maintains both emotional and historical integrity.

Water Damage

Water intrusion can cause rust and corrosion on the dial, often as severely as it affects the movement. Restoring the dial requires full resurfacing to remove the damage and bring back its original appearance. However, this process compromises the dial’s authenticity, so if you ever decide to sell the watch, you’ll need to be transparent about the restoration and avoid presenting it as a 100% factory-original dial. We have a great article that breaks down this process in detail—definitely worth a read if you're curious.

Accidental Damage During Repairs

Scratches during servicing are, unfortunately, quite common. Minor surface marks can often be corrected with a fresh clear coat, while deeper scratches may require full dial restoration or replacement. We've successfully completed many projects where scratches were removed while preserving the original finish.

Please note:
We kindly ask that you do not send photos of dial scratches. In most cases, the damage must be examined in person, with the dial removed from the watch, to properly assess the repair options.
