Rolexes are well made but are hardly exclusive in that dept. there are a number of other brands that are equally as well made (or better) and who offer impressive support even after the watch is out of production (unlike Rolex who have stated in print that they will only guarantee servicing/parts for 30 yrs after the model has been discontinued).
yes, Rolex have been known to service pieces more than 30 yrs after production but they don't guarantee it.
VC, Omega, IWC are some other brands who are imo, better committed re:servicing than Rolex.

If you have a Rolex dated from the early 1950's, you have a timepiece that will outlast your lifetime by at least a factor of 4. That means 230 years from now someone will be wearing and enjoying your watch. It will be keeping COSC time specs as you are being eaten by worms in your grave.
They are built like no other timepiece. Enjoy them and do not discount your watch because they are a mere 10 years old.
