Rolex 700 balance staff

Rolex

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis, Rolex is one of the most iconic Swiss watch brands in the world, synonymous with precision, reliability, and status. The brand pioneered the first waterproof wristwatch (Oyster) and the first self-winding rotor (Perpetual). Famous models include the Submariner, Daytona, Datejust, and GMT-Master, all iconic and highly sought after. Rolex is a true manufacturer, developing all its movements in-house, such as the Calibre 3235 and Calibre 4130, known for their robust construction and chronometric performance. Rolex's legacy is one of enduring excellence and innovation.

Balance Staff

A balance staff is the central axle of the balance wheel and one of the most delicate components in a mechanical watch movement. It supports the balance assembly and allows it to oscillate accurately, helping regulate the timekeeping of the watch. Balance staffs are commonly replaced when pivots are bent, broken, worn, or damaged during repair or restoration work.
