What happens to vintage parts replaced at an RCS?

If saved and somehow made available, think of the possibilities with regards to restoring an old watch. Knowing the value of some of these parts and the passion for vintage models, it seems crazy to discard them if that is indeed what happens.

All Rolex parts are installed on an exchange only basis by authorized RSC's. They're then disposed of, preventing authentic parts from circulating in the frankenwatch clique.
