Any one restore a vintage Rolex?

Just want to know if anyone has experience in restoring a vintage rolex.
I have one from my grandfather.
Not sure what is the best way to go?
Go to a jeweler? and buy the part myself on ebay?
or send in to Rolex?
Its a datejust from 1980s.

Thanks~

80's is not vintage that would be from the 30's 40's and 50's. I'd be glad to take care of it for you drop me a pm Rik

You don't say what the part is that you feel you can buy from e-bay..

.......buying a part and installing it is a long way from a "restoration"..

As Rikki says, it seems that all you need is a full service on your watch..
