Try preown shops for used rolex parts
Avoid aftermarket parts
While one or two preowned dealers sell used rolex parts, most preowned dealers don't. So comment/advice like this is not going to be very helpful to the TS. Could be more specific if you actually know who the dealers are - that would benefit other forum members too.
And by the way, the phrase "aftermarket parts" or "aftermarket products" do not refer to 3rd party parts/products. They simply means parts/products related to the core products but are sold separately. For example, original accessories of mobile phone that are sold separately, could be referred to as aftermarket products or aftermarket accessories.
Watches are like potato chips - You never stop at one
so are you trying to tell potential buyers to go directly to RSC to purchase?
or go preown shops and purchase and pray that the items are genuine?

Go back to rsc

Depends on stock hard to tell which shops have what stock at this moment
Best to do is call up the shops and enquire
Saw two shops in golden landmark display dials and bracelets in the shelves
Can try your luck there, worse to worse go back rsc

Bro pegasi, so which means the parts can be still considered as original part by Rolex?
I wont worry so much about terms because different terms mean different things to people
There are terms like 'custom', 'aftermarket', 'replica', 'similar', 'aftersales', 'preown', etc etc
End of the day, what is important is that part, whatever its called, an authentic rolex?
Does that mean if i have a rolex watch and i fit it with a aftermarket strap, it makes my watch not authentic rolex?
Don't trust anyone too much, even your own shadow leave you when you are in darkness.

You managed to smoke me again coz I am completely confused by what you wrote...really have to give it to you

there is alot of difference those underlined and the one in italic. why? preown is likely to indicate that the watch is authentic but has been owned. whereas, replica can have a really negative meaning as it is meant to be a 'remake' which is not by original.

if a sales thread indicate that a bracelet is preown i would feel safer to buy compared to one that indicates that the bracelet is replica.
replica and preown have very different context.
according to wikipedia for replica, A replica is a copy closely resembling the original concerning its shape and appearance
noticed the word used is copy.
according to wikipedia for preown, A second-hand or used good is one that is being purchased by or otherwise transferred to a second or later end user
here, there is no use of the word copy or to that extent.

I'd worry if the 'aftermarket' (or 'preown' or 'used' , etc) part i bought is fake
To play safe, get the parts from rsc
Dont worry about spending more, you get the assurance its 100% rolex and brand new
