Rolex gaskets....

The only Rolex watch I have in my humble collection is the 14060M...



I love it and I swim and dive a LOT in it . It is a late Z-serial and was bought new 3.5 years ago. It is keeping excellent time and does not need to be serviced. I wear it in rotation (probably twice a week). I normally pressure test it around March just before diving season ...

To put my mind at rest during diving I would like to replace all the gaskets (or at least crown and case back) in the next couple years or so. I do not think a movement service is needed so often, especially since it is only worn in rotation. So I would do gaskets replacement after 5 years and say FULL service after 10 or so years (before if needed). I know I can change all gaskets myself, but where is the best place to get OEM Rolex gaskets for the watch please ? I would like to do gaskets myself since I would like to avoid shipping risks as I am located on an island where there is only 1 Rolex AD and I do not trust his watchmaker (with good reason)....

Do you agree with my rationale regarding servicing/gasket replacement ? Thanks !
