Question about terminology: does Revision/Révision mean service or overhaul?
Forgive my ignorance if this is known to the watch enthusiasts:
as suggested by the title, I've seen descriptions of watches identifying particular pieces have undergone "revision via Rolex" or "révision at Rolex," etc. I thought 'revision' in English usually is pertinent to the meanings such as "modification." But does this word in French and German mean service or overhaul in the context of "servicing a Rolex"? The reason I'm asking is that I saw watches are advertised on the internet with the term "revision," for example: https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/explo...41989.htm#gref or "service card" suggesting "date de la révision" If a watch has been serviced or overhauled by Rolex, it would be totally fine; however, if the watched is "revised" or "modified," then it's a different story. |

Revision is a service whereby the movement is taken apart and worn out parts replaced.
Rolex does not modify

Yes that means overhaul.
It is the old type warranty card though. |

So if a Rolex comes with the type of warranty card, as seen in my first post, does it mean the watch has been completely overhauled, instead of a regular service/maintenance? |
