Well, cosmetics aside- these are machines. Unlike a quartz watch which moves once per second. a modern high beat mech watch like a Zenith runs at 36,000 beats per hour. 10 movements per second. 24 hours, seven days. For years. Those jewles (rubies) are bearings. Movements need cleaning and lubrication, and maybe parts replacement.
Thsat said, who knows what they do at Rolex service. It takes years to make a Rolex, you know.
