Serpico Y Laino Rolex Watch Repair

Overhaul Service of a Rolex Chronometre Caliber 3131 Automatic Wristwatch

This rare Rolex Bubbleback Watch as they were called was overhauled and restored to fine running order. The watch has the inscription on the dial “Serpico Y Laino” the long time Rolex Dealer in Venezuela starting back in 1925. The Rolex branch was founded by Vincent Laino and Leopoldo Serpico working a small jewelry repair shop in Caracas. Wanting to represent a higher level of watch not available in Venezuela, Laino traveled to Europe and entered into an exclusive agreement with Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex. That was the beginning of many prestigious brands the company represents to this day.

This watch circa 1940’s was named the bubbleback because the caseback that was extended to allow room for the automatic winder that was the first in watchmaking. This watch was carefully disassembled and cleaned. The movement was reassembled and lubricated. The balance was regulated. The crystal replaced and the case lightly cleaned. The watch was placed on extended testing. Overhaul Repair Service Complete.
