I made enquiries with RSC here in the UK about my OQ and they said all parts are available from Switzerland......better try head office!

The coil is not available as a seperate component, it will be a complete new motor.
Should not be a problem, parts are readily available for the oyster quartz.
Remember Rolex guarantees parts availability for 30 years after a calibre's production run ends.

hi, rolex do not sell parts even to watchmakers here in australia anymore, only a case kit, they say send it in to them, can you suggest anyone in the usa that can sell me one and send me this part, i am happy to buy a whole motor if necessary, my watchmaker states he cant get this part in australia regards

There must be a Rolex service centre in Oz.....better to send it there and get a service and any parts replaced then and there, more expensive sure but at least you have not the hassle of sourcing parts (which can be nigh on impossible outside of the network).

There is a Rolex service centre in Oz. Your best bet is to send it to them.

As Leonardo DiCaprio said I concur

Different affilliates have different policies on supply of parts. This is due in part to the law in the different countries on business practices. In some countries only watchmakers who have been assessed by Rolex and deemed qualified to work on Rolex and who have suitable workshop/equipment will be eligible to buy parts. If you don't pass and or don't have all of the necessary equipment (not just normal watchmakers tools but pressure testing/case equipment etc...) then no parts.

They are available. The part will about $500 in addition to a full service.
