FAQ
Will this fit my Rolex movement?
Yes, the 36 holes are designed to support various bridge and plate sizes found in Rolex and other Swiss movements. It provides a flat, stable surface for drilling out broken screws or pins without damaging the mainplate during the repair process.
Is it waterproof?
This is a steel tool and should be kept away from water. To prevent surface rust or oxidation over time, wipe the block down with a lightly oiled cloth after use and store it in a dry environment on your workbench.
How do I install it?
There is no installation required for this tool. Simply place the block on a flat, sturdy workbench surface. The weight of the steel and the flat bottom keep it in place while you work on your watch components or jewelry pieces.
What if it doesn't fit my project?
If the hole sizes do not meet your specific project needs or movement dimensions, we offer a 30-day return policy. You can return the tool in its original condition for a full refund, ensuring you get the right equipment for your bench.
How do I maintain the steel surface?
To keep the surface smooth and prevent snagging delicate parts, occasionally clean the block with a mild degreaser. Applying a thin coat of mineral oil or watch oil will protect the finish from humidity, sweat, and fingerprints during long projects.
