Bare with me...

[B737]

Hi,

I have posted kind of the same question before and I apologize for bringing this up again...

Regarding the future and spare parts for vintage Rolex watches, I talked to a watchmaker yesterday who also is certified from Rolex. He said that Rolex supplies spare parts for a watch 30 years after it has been discontinued. He also said that he is able to order all parts to a 1675 directly from Rolex as of now, but that it is impossible to foresee how the supply will look in the future.

Now, and to my question, given that the 1675 GMT was discontinued in 1980, Rolex has no longer any commitment in suppling parts for that watch. The parts that actually could be order right now could run out in a week or 10 years, nobody know right? I have read a lot of posts by people owning Rolexes from the 50's, RSC's wont even touch them and Rolex will charge 1000's for manufacturing new parts. In 10 years, will the situation be the same for subs and gmt's?

I would like my son to have my 1675 some day. Given this fact it is also important to know of this is possible... What if I break the glass or need a new bazel in 10 years?

All of you with your lovely SUB's and GMT's - what's your reasoning around this issue?

Thank you all for a great forum and sorry for my paranoia.

Erik
