The Zenith movement is more complex and more rare than others.. plus Rolex has added their own parts to the movement to make it theirs...
This is one piece that I might ensure I have a Rolex professional working on...

I'd have either an RSC due it, or a Rolex certified guy do it IMO.

For a relatively expensive (and rare) watch, I would send it to Rolex to maintain. You get original parts, a fresh 2-year warranty and peace of mind.

The main reason that Rolex IMHO put there own escapement 28800BPH from the Zeniths normal 36000BPH was service interval.Now when Zenith made the Elprimo they developed a special oil to be used when serviced the Hi beat movement.But any Rolex movement to a good watchmaker is no harder to service than many others.The Rolex movement is quite a large movement,and because of the way its built in many way quite easy to service.The main problem is getting parts if needed but to service it to a good watchmaker its not rocket science
