Changing Strap / Restoring Watch

Greetings All,

I've managed to acquire a 2017 Daytona 116515LN with a leather strap (grey market purchase). The watch has definitely been loved by its previous owner to a point where it could do with being restored back to a 'like new' condition so I can enjoy it as if I walked out of the AD with it (I wish!) I would attach photos but they aren't being uploaded for some reason.

Could anyone recommend where I could purchase a Oyster flex strap for the watch and how it can be restored? Do I take it to my local AD or do I approach a private watch repair company?

First time I'm doing something like this so any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm based in UK. Many thanks in advance

The best path is to send it to RSC.
