Rolex Submariner: Reference 16800 Caliber 3035
Symptoms: Immobility (spring broken)
Repair contents: Overhaul, spring and gasket replacement, case and bracelet cleaning, water resistance test (20 bar)
Repair cost: 27,500 yen
I took it apart. The 16800 bezelless model is quite expensive. I feel that Rolex sports models, not just the Submariner, are too expensive, but I guess it can't be helped because there is demand. The movement is 3035.
Replace the broken spring and reassemble. The replacement of the spring and gasket is included in the overhaul price. The 3035 is also a movement that is unlikely to malfunction.
The rotating bezel was stuck and difficult to turn. If there is dirt in the gap, it will be difficult to turn or will not turn at all. Even if no polish is specified, the bezel needs to be disassembled and cleaned.
After cleaning, it is now clean. It now rotates smoothly. Rolexes are designed so that the bezel can be easily removed. For Omega Seamasters, the bezel may become deformed when removed, so it is sometimes washed as is without forcing it.
The waterproofing is inspected, then the case is fitted and tested.
We hope this information will be helpful to you in determining the repair details and costs.
