Cost of fully rebuilding Rolex 3135 movement

which had waterdamage so need almost all parts new. Anyone an idea how much that will cost at an AD?

sounds like a complete new movement would be better, and probably more cost-effective. I'm sure Rolex AD would say this too...

BTW, it depends how bad it is, but an independent watch-maker with a Rolex parts account (eg Bob Ridley) may do it for you, for much less.

Drop a line to him (or Rikki Dietel) and get a quote. Do a search here to find them.

Likely cheaper to buy a complete used movement I think
