A Simple Jig for Refinishing Rolex Yacht-Master Bezels

When it comes to servicing fine timepieces, there is nothing that delights a client more than receiving their freshly serviced timepiece back looking and operating as new as the day they bought it. One of the multitude of characteristics that make Rolexes so desirable is the attention to detail that the company invests in making certain that this “like new” condition can be achieved in after sales service. I have only encountered a small handful of other brands with which this same quality holds true across their entire offering. Armed with a small arsenal of refinishing techniques, it is a fairly straightforward task to bring most of the watches in Rolex’s portfolio back to factory fresh condition. Many of their models can be refinished with little more than a variable speed polishing lathe, a few hand tools, and a selection of buffs and compound. A select few, however, require a little extra attention. One such model is the Rolex Yacht-Master. In particular, the bezel of the Rolex Yacht-Master.
The Rolex Yacht-Master is the only model in the company’s current line-up that features any sort of sandblasted finish, all of which occurs on the bezel. If your shop is equipped with a sandblaster and polishing equipment, for a relatively small investment it is possible to fabricate a simple jig that will make the task of refinishing these bezels on-site quick and worry-free.
If access to a sandblaster is not possible, the best course of action is to send the bezel away to a Rolex service center for refinishing.
