FANTASTIC!
Great to hear some good customer service for a change.

Would love to know what was wrong that they were quick to replace the watch parts at no charge. Enjoy your "NEW" watch.

Wow, great outcome! Rolex has done good! Make their annual price hikes a little more easier to bear if they put customer satisfaction as a top priority ;-)

Kinda makes you wonder whether the experienced watchmakers who could've overhauled it were all on holiday. The apprentice they left to handle the anticipated fewer watches coming in looked at, thought 'yikes, I can't do this repair, I'll just drop a brand new movement in there!' And you effectively get a new watch.

I was thinking it would also confirm that the movement had in fact been replaced, but now that I think of it, that would require an owner to know the original movement's #, but we don't.

Maybe you did but it is a great result at the end fo the day.
Have to agree Steve myself have never heard of a movement being replaced unless completely water damaged and beyond economical repair.

You are correct.

Each watch has a serial number as does each movement.

The movement serial number is logged at Rolex but an owner would not normally know this number it unless they have removed the case back and noted it.
