I read some time ago that Mercedes set up a facility in Southern California that will service any Mercedes vehicle, no matter how old. If a needed part is not available, they will manufacture one. I don't have any idea how much this costs the consumer. Undoubtedly a lot!!!

I don't know how this would go over for Rolex watches. If it's a money maker, then Rolex could do it. If Rolex doesn't think it will be a money maker, then they won't. I don't think Rolex is sentimental about its vintage watches. They just want to make the money.
