Rolex no longer has parts for 1570 movements?

[jfmiii]

Is this true?????

[btinl]

Maybe they stopped production. Better load up now.

You should load up 1570 parts, let me know how that goes.

[springer]

That info was released a couple years ago. Looks like you missed it back then.

So I have 2 watches with 1570's. Rolex will not service them ?

I spoke w my watchmaker yesterday. Works for a large AD. He continues to order and receive 1570 parts without issue or comment. We shall see.

Old-ish news...

[Mr Perfect]

Fake news.

There will be no more parts as of the new year. It will be Switzerland only and from what I have been told, there will be a non-refundable deposit to send it to Switzerland, and we aren't talking about $100.

It is very common for watch manufacturers to stop producing parts for calibers that are over 30 years old.

Freaky double post

Guys this isn’t some scam. It’s actually happening. I know for a fact.

If there is money to be made someone will make them.

This is why you take care of your independant watchmaker who still has parts. Many old school guys who used to have a parts account stocked up like crazy back in the day. Just make sure they know not to sell to any of all the scavengers running around trying to steal their stuff for pennies.

I personally doubt this will be much of a problem for many years to come. But who knows...

Theres no truth to this. 15 calibre was made up until 1991 in the 5513.

They're still supplying parts for 2035 (discontinued 1983) so the 1570 is in no danger. If some watchmaker is experiencing this its probably a local thing, Rolex USA seem to operate independently from Rolex SA completely, my guess is there's no qualified watchmakers in certain regions so theres no point supplying parts. What is a fact is that Rolex no longer train watchmakers on 15XX, 4030, 2035, 5035, 5055, 12XX etc...

I wouldnt worry for a while yet.

Parts as in movement parts? Not sure about movement parts but my watchmaker can get Rolex parts for my 1601/1603s

Movement parts would be rolex parts..... so yes. Case parts are also still available. From Rolex. Also rolex parts.
