Vintage Service.....???

A number of years ago...Just before vintage Rolex prices went through the roof...There was a lot of talk about "servicing issues" in regard to parts becoming scarce in the not to distant future, etc......
I haven't heard any talk on the subject recently.....???
Thoughts??

Well, for any exotic dialed pieces, the US RSC's will still not touch them. The San Francisco RSC, which is separate from RUSA, will service just about anything without the RUSA BS. As mentioned above, Bob also does great work.

Any watchmaker with a Rolex parts account should be able to service your watch.
