Pre 2001 did not have a etched crown anyway...so why pay the extra. I was also informed that full overhauls due to the new parts practice has increased from about $850 to mid teens. The independents that I spoke to said unless I only wanted certain things done and not everything an RSC require I had done, it was more cost effective to go to the RSC.

Both said they wondered how this new policy would impact independent watch repair shops that service Rolex.
Why use aftermarket parts on your watch? Didn't you buy a Rolex for the quality?
