Yeah, so they can throw it in the trash and tell you to get on the list for a new one.
My old boss sent his ‘61 GMT back to Rolex 4 times during its life. His last attempt was in 2005 and they sent it back with a letter saying it was too old and he should buy a new one- the letter was actually pretty funny (mentioned something about how many ticks it had beaten during its life).
He brought it to my independent, non-authorized Rolex watchmaker who tracked down all the parts it needed via his network of collectors, other independents and ex-Rolex service providers, and got that watch running COCS for $500.
