How Often is Cleaning Req. given......
 
I am wondering how often cleaning would be required given the following circumstances:

Rolex: 16613, 16610
Worn every day -
Worn 3x a week -
Worn 2x month -

Should the watch be wound while in storage?

If it is not worn much at all months at a time are any precautions required?

Cheers

I recommend every 5-7 years because that is what Rolex says, and usually by then the oscillating weight axle is pretty worn. If you at only wearing it twice a month you could probably wait until 10 yEars but I wouldn't wait longer as the oils need to be changed regularly weather the watch is worn or not. Of course if there are any problems you should get it checked out nO matter if it's been 1 year or 5. And the bracelet should be ultrasonicly cleaned and steamed at least every 6 months especially on the 16613. Gold bracelets will disintegrate if they aren't cleaned because the dirt will turn into a polishing paste and eat the gold away.
