## **Product Description**

This genuine Rolex center jewel (jewel bearing) is an original Swiss-made component specifically designed for Caliber 2230 and 2235 automatic movements. Serving as a low-friction bearing for the center wheel, it is a critical element in the gear train that ensures smooth power transmission from the barrel to the escapement. As an authentic Rolex factory part, it is the ideal replacement when the original center jewel becomes cracked, chipped, or worn, restoring the movement’s reliable timekeeping and preventing further damage to the center wheel pivot.

## **Key Features & Function**

* **Genuine Rolex Part** – Swiss factory‑original, not a copy or generic substitute; guarantees perfect fit and Rolex‑level durability.
* **Center Wheel Bearing Core** – Supports the center wheel pivot and ensures smooth rotation with minimal friction, directly affecting power transmission efficiency.
* **High Hardness & Wear Resistance** – Made of synthetic ruby (corundum), second only to diamond in hardness, providing exceptional wear resistance for long-term stability.
* **Essential for Service** – Replace when the center jewel is cracked, chipped, worn, or dislodged to prevent pivot damage and restore gear train reliability.
* **Compatible Movements** – Designed for Rolex Caliber 2230 (no‑date) and Caliber 2235 (date) automatic movements, commonly found in Oyster Perpetual and ladies‘ Datejust series.

* Also applicable to other 2230‑platform calibers that share the same movement architecture.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

**1\. Is this a genuine Rolex center jewel?**  
Yes. It is an authentic Swiss factory‑original part for Caliber 2230/2235, not a generic or third‑party substitute.

**2\. What are the symptoms of a damaged center jewel?**  
A damaged or worn center jewel can cause the center wheel pivot to run off‑center, leading to erratic power transmission, sluggish hand movement, loss of amplitude, and increased timekeeping errors. In severe cases, the damaged jewel may score the pivot, requiring replacement of both components.

**3\. How do I know if the center jewel needs replacement?**  
During movement service, inspect the jewel under magnification. Replace if you observe cracks, chips, an ovalized worn hole (indicated by an off‑center pivot), or if the pivot shows excessive radial play. Also replace if the jewel has been dislodged from its setting.

**4\. What should I pay attention to during installation?**  
Center jewel replacement requires specialized tools (jewel press) and expertise. The jewel must be pressed straight into the mainplate or bridge without tilting, and its seating depth must be precise to ensure proper endshake. After installation, inspect the pivot fit and apply a very small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., HP 1300) to the oil sink.

**5\. Does this part fit other Rolex calibers like 2130 or 2135?**  
No. The 2230/2235 platform is a distinct movement architecture from the 2130/2135 family. Center jewel dimensions and mounting positions differ between these calibers and are not interchangeable. Always verify compatibility using the official Rolex parts catalog for your specific caliber.

Also applicable to other 2230\u2011platform calibers that share the same movement architecture. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Is this a genuine Rolex center jewel? Yes. It is an authentic Swiss factory\u2011original part for Caliber 2230/2235, not a generic or third\u2011party substitute. 2. What are the symptoms of a damaged center jewel? A damaged or worn center jewel can cause the center wheel pivot to run off\u2011center, leading to erratic power transmission, sluggish hand movement, loss of amplitude, and increased timekeeping errors. In severe cases, the damaged jewel may score the pivot, requiring replacement of both components. 3. How do I know if the center jewel needs replacement? During movement service, inspect the jewel under magnification. Replace if you observe cracks, chips, an ovalized worn hole (indicated by an off\u2011center pivot), or if the pivot shows excessive radial play. Also replace if the jewel has been dislodged from its setting. 4. What should I pay attention to during installation? Center jewel replacement requires specialized tools (jewel press) and expertise. The jewel must be pressed straight into the mainplate or bridge without tilting, and its seating depth must be precise to ensure proper endshake. After installation, inspect the pivot fit and apply a very small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., HP 1300) to the oil sink. 5. Does this part fit other Rolex calibers like 2130 or 2135? No. The 2230/2235 platform is a distinct movement architecture from the 2130/2135 family. Center jewel dimensions and mounting positions differ between these calibers and are not interchangeable.
