ROUTINE CARE & CALIBER PROTECTION

Scratch-Free Sapphire Installation & Dial Protection

A chipped rim, hairline fracture, or shattered crystal compromises more than just the appearance of your watch—it puts the entire dial, hands, and mechanical caliber at risk. Microscopic glass dust from a cracked crystal can migrate into the gear train, causing friction damage, while fractured edges break the airtight seal that keeps moisture out.

Our Newport Beach watchmakers replace scratched or cracked glass using factory-specification scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. We carefully uncase the movement to inspect the dial, install fresh Hytrel I-gaskets, and align the iconic Cyclops lens for crisp 2.5x date magnification before performing wet and dry pressure testing.

Every Current Rolex Model — Case Sizes

Market Desirability: Which Rolex Sizes Are Most Sought After?

Highest Demand / Collector Grails

  • 40mm Cosmograph Daytona (126500LN) – the iconic chronograph, updated movement, ceramic bezel, legendary status; secondary market premiums of 100%+
  • 40mm GMT-Master II “Pepsi” (126710BLRO) – the blue-red ceramic bezel is iconic; waitlists exceed 5 years, secondary market trades at 2–3x retail
  • 36mm Explorer (124270) – the perfect neo-vintage size, clean and versatile; strong demand from collectors who prefer smaller sports watches

Strong & Growing Segments

  • 41mm Submariner (124060) – the no-date classic; cleaner dial and robust movement, steady demand with 40–50% premiums
  • 36mm Datejust (126234) – the quintessential dressy sports watch; the 36mm size is experiencing a renaissance, especially with fluted bezels and Jubilee bracelets
  • 42mm Explorer II (226570) – the polar dial version is a travel enthusiast favorite, rising demand as a more affordable GMT alternative
  • Pro tip: the 2025–2026 market favors 36–41mm Rolex models; full sets and unpolished cases command the highest premiumas

Our Recommended Rolex Maintenance – What a Full Service Includes

Step-by-Step Service Signs You Need It Why It Matters
1Complete disassembly, cleaning, and inspection of the movement (Calibre 3235, 4131, etc.). Watch hasn’t been serviced in 5–7 years. Ensures every component is checked, not just the surface.
2Replacement of worn components (mainspring, automatic module, pallet fork). Rotor makes grinding noise or watch stops intermittently. Prevents further wear to the movement.
3Fresh lubrication with Rolex-specified Moebius oils. Gritty feeling when winding or setting the time. Restores smooth, accurate running.
4Regulation to Superlative Chronometer standard (±2 sec/day). Timekeeping is erratic or noticeably off. Brings the watch back to factory accuracy.
5Case and bracelet refinishing – brushed Oyster surfaces and polished chamfers. Visible scratches or a dull finish. Restores factory-correct geometry and shine.
6Water resistance testing (up to 300m) and full gasket replacement. Any case opening or seal age of 2+ years. Confirms the watch is safe to wear day to day.

I had such a wonderful experience at Newport Jewelers, and I especially want to recognize Jacob for his exceptional customer service! I absolutely did not want to be without my ring, but it needed to be resized. Jacob got me in right away and went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t without it for long. He had my ring resized in record time, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and care he provided. What really stood out to me was how accommodating, professional, and kind Jacob was. Customer service like that is hard to find these days! I had actually called another jeweler in the same plaza beforehand, and the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful. The difference in customer service was honestly night and day. I highly recommend Newport Jewelers and Jacob. If you want someone who genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, definitely see Jacob! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I brought my Rolex in after I cracked the crystal and Jacob took care of it for me. He was very helpful and did a great job with the repair. My watch looks like new again!

Jacob did amazing work on my engagement ring that was passed down to me from my grandmother. He resized the ring and made it silver. It is my dream ring and he made my dreams come true. I can’t appreciate him enough, he is amazing. I will reccomend him to everyone I know !

Really happy with my experience at Newport Jewelers. I went in looking for an engagement ring and honestly wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted at first. Jacob was really helpful and took the time to show me different options and answer all my questions. I ended up finding a ring that I absolutely loved. The whole experience was great, and I really appreciate Jacob’s help. Definitely recommend Newport Jewelers if you’re looking for an engagement ring.

I had a wonderful experience meeting and doing business with Jacob. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to work with. I needed a ring resized, and the results were even better than I expected, especially considering how significant the size change was. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the ring came back looking brand new. I was also really impressed to learn that Jacob makes his own jewelry, which shows in the quality and attention to detail of his work. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I’m extremely happy with how my ring turned out and would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for beautiful craftsmanship, quality work, and great service.

I had two rings worked on by Newport Jewelers the first was a repair, stone replacement and smoothing down sharp edges making my ring more comfortable to wear. The ring is stunning, he cleaned and polished it Next I had him change the mounting of my gorgeous 12 carat vivid blue sapphire from a very old platinum ballerina styled ring. To a modern pave mounting. The ring is stunning when I saw it I got goose bumps and wanted to cry. I have never seen a more beautiful ring, and the best part is it is mine!!! Thank you so much I am so so very happy
