ETA 2892 often gets trouble with the winding system, completely worn ratchet wheel, crown wheel, etc. A lot of gunk inside the movement. The ones I've seen that has this were always 5-10 years old, so pretty acceptable as a service interval.

Rolex makes great movements as we all know, but a worn rotor axle is not uncommon. Some just go on without service and are in good condition and I have seen 31xx come in not even two years old and the rotor axle was already pretty worn. It is a weak spot but could also have to do with the fact that Rolex uses HP1000 lubricant on the axle which is too thin IMO, I was taught to use MR4 which is a lot thicker and greasier, this might prevent quick wear of the axle.
