This was discussed in a thread a few years ago. It seemed back then that it was Rolex USA that had those limits for servicing. In Europe it was no problem getting new spare parts for 15-series movements from Rolex SA directly.
I had a 1680 serviced maybe three years ago and asked the service center and they had no problems with spare parts. I also believe one of the watch makers here working for a service center in Europe confirmed that he could indeed order 15-series spare parts.
This might have changed now. The only thing I know is that the service cost has nearly doubled now for watches with 15-series movements comparing to three years ago.
