Looking for service recommendations

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I just purchased an Explorer II a couple of weeks ago and not sure when the last service on the watch was. The guy I bought it off of said it was a long time ago like 10-12 years ago. I would like to get a full service done and it needs the crystal replaced. I also want it polished like the RSC would, however I dont want to wait the 4-5 weeks that I was told it would take to get it back. Is there someone that most people here would recommend. I am looking for someone that has a quick turn around and uses Rolex parts and does an outstanding job. I am in Arizona. Thanks in advance.

Well, you don't want much do ya'.......

Check out some of the AD's locally who have a watchmaker on staff... If they do, they are likely Rolex contracted and trained and can turn it around a week or two faster....... it will likely cost the same as that is a flat-rate quote....

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I was also thinking that if there was someone on TRF that people recommend, I would possibly use them as to support the TRF community. I learned alot on here and appreciate all the advice I have been getting since signing up. Plus, I know that if someone on here says a person does a great job, there would be no worries that I would get a top notch service.
