This is correct. Although I'm sure servicing is possible at 3rd party places, parts availability will be a major issue.
The most significant difference between the two movements is simply quality of manufacture. Compare the motion works (under the dial) of the two. The Tudor resembles a lowish grade Seiko (nothing against Seiko at all btw), whilst the Rolex is made to a much higher standard, as one would expect with the price difference.
The difference is quality is quite evident when looking at the individual components under magnification.
