Appreciate this is a “warranty” and they may want all older components changed, but I don’t want the beautiful patina dial messed about with, or the ghosted bezel( missing pip) changed.
Sorry that’s a long rambling post!!
They will likely require that the crystal be changed and so should you; it is part of the sealing system and an expendable.

As to the rest it may be hit or miss, though they might not let the insert pass.

Why not use a well versed independent who can keep it like you want. They will very likely provide you with provenance paperwork, it doesn't have to say Rolex at the top.
