Watch repair Houston Texas

So this morning doing laundry in my RV park my clothes somehow tore off my bezel as I was shoving them in the washing machine. Didn't notice until I got back to my RV. When I got back to the washer machine it was locked. I had to wait 40 minutes to find out if I lost probably $1,000 bezel or irreplaceable... Thank goodness the washing machine did not eat my bezel like it does my socks!! I did lose the retainer click spring or whatever. GMT 16750 can someone recommend a watch repair guy in Houston I would rather go to The second hand shop. I have a jubilee bracelet I want to have some strip screws replaced too. Or should I send it off and have I forget the guy in China repair it does it look like it is stretched to you guys? never mind I'll have to add a picture from my other phone maybe this one's too good size is too big.

I have to admit I have never heard a story like that. Sorry brother! Yelp and Google reviews will be a good start

No info on someone in Houston, but Bob Ridley and son are in Arlington. They're good people and definitely know their stuff.
