Just curious about new and old 3135 mvmt

[lakeros]

All -

Just wanted to know, and this may pertain to the vintage crowd, what are the most frequently worn part of a 3135 movement? Or what is the weakest most worn part of any movement (Rolex) - specifically.

Thanks!

I will say the oil, you have to change it for every 5 years.

Would agree with Larry Rolex sacrificed efficiency perhaps over reliability, but as long as service schedules are met, you should not have any problem with the 3135.
