Review af Cal. 3135 - lange service intervaller frarådes

[Takechan]

Det har været diskuteret meget hvor vidt man skal få sit ur serviceret hver 4-5 år, som Rolex forskriver, eller om man kan vente indtil uret selv "fortæller" det.

I et review af Rolex Caliber 3135, hvor urværket er skilt ad, anbefales det at man holder sig til de forskrevne 4-5 år.

Er der nogen der har haft et ur med 3135 til service efter 10-15 år og blevet mødt med en ekstra stor regning?

Jeg har et ur med et 3135 der er 8 år gammelt. Det er derfor lidt interessant for mig da jeg ikke havde i sinde at få det serviceret foreløbigt.

Citat:"A side view of this post shows how severely it can be damaged if the movement is not serviced regularly. This is most likely to happen if moisture gets into the watch, which was the case in this particular instance, due to the fact that the heavier moisture displaces the lighter lubricants."

Citat:"The other weakness is something that may or may not manifest itself as readily, depending on the circumstances and how often the watch is serviced. This potential problem is easily understood by any watchmaker who has serviced a lot of these movements. The problem is that the 2 setting wheels under the dial, and the two small and thin posts that they pivot on, can be easily damaged if the lubrication runs dry. If the grease on the canon pinion dries up due to age or moisture in the watch case, the teeth on these small thin wheels will break off. The more severe problem is if the lubrication on the posts runs dry, then the first post will be worn away in no time at all, as shown in the photo above. This is less of a problem on the second post as it is a steel pin that is not riveted into the main plate. So it can be easily replaced if it is worn or damaged. Unfortunately the first post is part of the main plate, and is made of brass just like it. Therefore if this post gets damaged like that, the only way to repair it is by replacing the entire main plate. An expensive proposition at best. It’s worth noting that this was not a problem on Rolex’s older caliber 3035 because the diameter of the post was quite a bit thicker, as was the set wheel itself. Please note that this shouldn’t be a problem for those who take care of their watches and have them serviced at regular intervals – every four to five years as recommended by most factories today. I am 100% in agreement with this recommended service interval."
