Then give it a month to gather the intel, and a good session with the experts to formulate an opinion.

Either they can or they can not do the analysis asked for. By now Rolex are deliberately holding the watch as hostage, for no apparent reason. Because they can?

I would not play that game, retrieve the watch and present it as is, along with the incapacity of a large watchmaker do deliver diligent work/expertise in reasonable timeframe.

Shame on them.

Maybe they don’t work on one at a time
