Some very good points in there, Patek and IWC definatly get my vote with their statement to keep every watch they ever made working where as rolex!
it really surprises me that Rolex have not reversed their policy due to the amount of money available in the vintage market, who in there right mind will would pay 5 figures in the future for a seadweller that they cant keep running ?
Oh i just thought about that, yep the same people that pay 5 figures for them today
