Are you not getting confused with Patek Philippe :wink:
No I think your confusing it with Rolex:

“You never own a desirable in demand Rolex Professional model, you just pass your place on the waiting list to the next generation.....” :)

You're not wrong Richard.
They used to advertise, possibly in the handbook, that they will always keep parts for older models.

From the C70 Grand Prix Manual (2009-2011)

"Should you need a replacement part - don’t worry, we keep stocks of spare parts for years, even for
discontinued models."

The cynic in me says that this could be two years.

Well it seems my OP has created some lively debate/interest which is a good thing.
Im hoping if the item was a movement part or core case element that CW would be able to address it. Thankfully that's not the case (excuse the pun), I haven't needed any operational repair and Im happily wearing a fully functional watch albeit with a chipped bezel that I was aware of as a 'feature' of this model prior to purchase.
I may not be handing this one down but I will the 2 C9s, to my son who shares the Harrison name 😊. Unless something drastic happens, any watches of value I may have will be sold off long before then if the pension fund continues to perform as it has to date 🙄🙁😊
