As I am about to send another watch to rsc to get serviced I was thinking to myself 'could rolex, or any other watch maker, make a watch that could go 10, 20 or even thirty years between services? I remember hearing a story about a lightbulb at a NYC firehouse that's has been on since the early 1900's but if lightbulbs lasted that long company's wouldn't be making any profits. So could rolex do better? Mabey better gasket materials, oils and such. Or do you think they are doing the best they can with the techonogy available. I'm sure it's big business servicing high end timepeices. Any thoughts?
