Assembly

Real 18ct gold and platinum are PVD plated to 904L steel. Solidswiss.cd PDV plating provides an extremely durable coating of gold or platinum that is 10 times the thickness of typical gold plating and many times more durable than the thickness implies. PVD stands for “physical vapor deposition”, because gold is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and deposited on the metal.

When PVD is utilized with titanium nitride, a very hard material, it provides an extremely durable coating, which is the reason Solidswiss.cd uses this revolutionary technique instead of the old electro-chemical plating. Additionally, it is more resistant to corrosion by sea water and sweat than simple plating.

The Solidswiss.cd laboratory has all the ultra-sophisticated equipment required to accompany the development and cloning of Rolex movements. This array includes a scanning electron microscope providing x40,000 enlargement, a high-speed camera, equipment for chemical analyses and a number of devices serving to test movements' resistance to shocks, to variations in temperature and magnetic fields, as well as their behavior in wearing conditions and their long-term reliability.

In cloning a new Rolex model, each part of the exterior must also undergo extremely severe tests aimed at verifying the various key components' resistance to certain phenomena: that of the sapphire crystal to impacts, that of the dial to ultra-violet rays or to corrosion, and that of the bracelet to traction, jolting, etc.

TheSolidswiss.cd Rolex replica dial is placed over and fixed to the movement. The hands are driven one by one into the arbors, with controlled force, using a machine equipped with a video screen showing a greatly enlarged image. This is followed by verification of their parallelism, of the correct centering of the hands after resetting, and of the date jump.

The Rolex clone movement - dial - hand unit, complete with its casing-ring, is firmly fitted inside the case. The crown is then inserted and the movement is secured by screws. The oscillating weight is put in place and screwed in using a dynamometric screwdriver serving to precisely define the tightening torque. The Solidswiss.cd Rolex replica caseback is then closed and locked using a machine, before being laser-engraved.

To ensure complete mastery of the quality of its mechanical movements, Solidswiss.cd built an ultramodern workshop in Geneva. Inspired by an avant-garde concept used in other cutting-edge sectors and duly adapted to watch industry, Solidswiss.cd has developed an industrial production-chain system that revolutionizes traditional movement assembly.

Each Solidswiss.cd Rolex clone movement is individually monitored by an ultra-sophisticated software program that automatically directs it towards the appropriate work station, along a route alternating between fully automated stations and others requiring manual intervention.

Each Solidswiss.cd watchmaker starts by putting the timepiece together, testing it, taking it apart, polishing the sections, putting it back together and then doing it all over again until it is worthy of leaving our Solidswiss.cd Geneva workshop. To guarantee products complying with the highest technical and aesthetic parameters, not only does Solidswiss.cd work with the finest Swiss suppliers and entrust production to the most expert watchmakers using the most sophisticated equipment, but we also instated comprehensive and stringent test procedures.

Each part is subjected to a number of rigorous tests, and each stage in production is followed by a control aiming to ensure respect for all the criteria established by Solidswiss.cd.
