A watch is a machine, over a period of time, components do and will wear out. If and when someone decides to sell a watch that has had components replaced with genuine Rolex replacement parts, this should be disclosed as the watch is not compeletely original. My GMT-Master is 34 years old. Over that time I have had the crystal, hands, bezel insert, crown and tube, and mainspring replaced. All genuine Rolex parts and all work performed by a Rolex trained and certified technician. Does this mean my watch is all original? No. Does this mean that my watch is a "Frankenwatch?" Absolutely not by any stretch of the imagination.
