My wedding gift

Well I've owned many Rolex watches over the course of my life however I have to say that this one is the most special. I just got my wedding gift my 126 300 blue, smooth, oyster now I've heard there is a small problem with the movement something about seconds pinion wearing.

And my question is can I expect to have this watch for say 50 years can I get parts for it and will the RSC repaired and service forever.

Wow, that's awesome! Wear in good health!

Yes Rolex will service and repair your watch for longer than the average global life expectancy.

Is that true? I thought Rolex only promises to service watches up to 25 years after they were bought from AD.

RSC did my 1958 GMT last year, also my 1987 16760 the year before that.

This is a beautiful reference for a memorable occasion.
This watch will be enjoyed by your son’s son don’t worry :-)

My late grandfather’s 50 year old 6694 had its winding crown and stem disengaged from the watch. We sent it back to RSC to see if it can be fixed. Not only did they still have spare parts, it came back lightly polished and had a full movement service. It’s ticking away happily with zero issues now...so wear your Rolex with the full confidence that it can be repaired no matter what happens...and congratulations

Congratulations!

That’s a beautiful watch and definately one you will keep forever.

I wouldn’t expect you would have any parts or service issues many years down the road with such a classic platform so wear it and in good health and enjoy it.
