Re: Rolex 3135 needs service every 5 yrs as well

In Response To: Roex 3135 needs service every 5 yrs as well *NM* ()

My 1985 Rolex (3130???), went over 20 years without a service. The accuracy is amazing. As much as Omega owners want to pretend, and I am Omega 1120 owner, it is comparing apples and oranges.
What I seem to see is a lot of Omega owners trying to justify getting an Omega. They say Rolex is only a name. The only objective ones would have to own both. Not just read individually biased articles for or against.
There is nothing in the Rolex literature that says it has to be serviced every five years. And unlike Omega , it does not have a limited 2 year warranty.
Stop the Rolex bashing until you own one, for a number of years!!!! If you want a Rolex, buy it. It's OK to own a Ford and a Chevy. They are both good trucks.
