FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Rotary Ultra Slim LB08013/01 is designed as a versatile dress watch for daily wear. The gold PVD coating provides excellent scratch resistance, while the 50-metre water resistance protects against incidental splashes, hand-washing, and light rain. The slim profile ensures it slides comfortably beneath sleeves, making it ideal for professional and formal settings.
Q: What does gold PVD mean, and how durable is it?
A: PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, a coating process that bonds gold-coloured material to stainless steel at a molecular level. This creates a finish far more durable than traditional gold plating, offering superior resistance to scratching, fading, and tarnishing. With proper care, gold PVD maintains its lustre for many years.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: While the watch is water-resistant to 50 metres, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or water sports. This water resistance rating is designed to protect against splashes and brief immersion, such as hand-washing or caught in rain. For swimming, we recommend timepieces with 100-metre or greater water resistance.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When replacement is needed, our authorised service team at Cassims & Co. can replace it using genuine components while testing the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist, and can it be adjusted?
A: The five-link bracelet can be professionally sized to fit most wrist sizes. Our team at Mall of the South offers complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase or anytime thereafter. We recommend visiting our boutique for precise fitting, or contact us for sizing guidance if ordering for delivery.
Q: What is guilloche detailing on the dial?
A: Guilloche is a decorative engraving technique creating intricate, repetitive patterns on the dial surface. On this Rotary Ultra Slim, the guilloche creates radiating lines from the centre, adding depth and visual interest to the silver dial while catching light beautifully from different angles. This traditional watchmaking detail elevates the watch beyond simple functionality.
Q: Is this watch covered by warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Yes. As an authorised Rotary retailer, every watch purchased from Cassims & Co. includes the full 2-year international Rotary warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be completed and stamped at the time of purchase, ensuring worldwide warranty service through authorised Rotary service centres.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Rotary warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Rotary retailer, such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, bracelet stretch, or crystal damage.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown while submerged or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is not covered.
- Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, present your completed warranty card and proof of purchase to any authorised Rotary service centre.
- Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims and can advise on the nearest authorised service centre.
- The warranty does not affect your statutory rights under South African consumer protection legislation.
Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the gold PVD bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed fully in. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chlorinated water, which may damage the PVD coating or seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or soft pouch protects against scratches and dust.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping. This ensures proper resealing and water resistance testing.
- Avoid impact and extreme temperatures. While the stainless steel construction is robust, sudden shocks can damage the quartz movement.
- The crown should always be pushed fully in during wear to maintain water resistance. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse immediately with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- We recommend professional servicing every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement inspection, seal replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
