1974 Explorer II Orange Hand

I received this watch in 1976 as a graduation present and have worn it nearly every day since then. It's been cleaned and serviced maybe three times and no parts (other than crystal and band) have been changed. It runs great but needs a crystal and band and probably a service. I know all about the crazy reputation of this watch. My father ordered a plain Explorer and this came in by mistake. He apologized about the "wrong" watch and I've been thanking him ever since.

I sent it off to Dallas and they seem disinterested in doing what I've requested. They said they "might" have to change parts that would make it less collectible and I had them send it back.

I am looking for a recommendation for HONEST watch repair in the Ann Arbor Detroit MI area that will do what I need.

Thanks!!!!!!!
