Not sure what to say as I'm not too familiar with Rolex

I’m not a legal eagle
So I’m not sure what the legalities are. But I do enjoy the watch ! Regards H.
Thanks Nico!
Rolex will absolutely not touch this watch for anything. For maintenance I can send it to artisans de geneve or it can be serviced by any watchmaker that is qualified to service Rolex 4130 movement, of which there are many around the world. All the best H...
