Bad or Good news for 15XX calibre movement owners

[stilty]

Bad news if you own a 15XX calibre if you need service. I guess good news if you have spare parts or movements that you want to sell down the road. They will be rare.

Rolex to stop production of 15XX series parts

Yeah tell me about it. Have you ever seen replacement parts for a 1030 movement?

It makes me think twice about wearing my vintages ALL THE TIME like I'm used to doing.

repaustria is always intriguing me.

btw, a guy from the sweet austria won some in-expensive auction I was bidding too...

only for 10 usd more. I was blasfeming at every austrian living soul..

Glad that mine was just serviced and timed and regulated... All parts were in excellent condition nonetheless it set me 250 EUR back. Watchsmittie promised me to be without probs for 3-5 years... We'll see by then.
