With your location set to "Everywhere" you'll probably have to narrow it down to a continent before someone can point you in the right direction John

Send it to Bob Ridley in Arlington Texas at Watchmakers.com
He is one of the very best in the business IMHO.

Bob Ridley is in Arlington TX and according to Google Maps it'll take you...

9hrs 44mins by car
6 days 16 hours by foot
1 day 18 hours by bicycle

or you might just FedEx it to him

drarmament · 12 June 2011, 05:40 AM

thanks, I'll give him a call. This is my first watch (Rolex).

What watch is it? Got some pics?

drarmament · 12 June 2011, 05:59 AM

It's a 1530 with a champagne bezel, stainless steel bracklet and date. I will post pics, I left my camera at work. Right now it looks like crap, because I have never though about taking care of it till now. My dad gave it to me and I have thrown it in my junk drawer. Then I was looking to get it serviced and saw the prices of them and the word Rare. I don't know how true it is, but I would like to get it cleaned and tuned up, the straches buffed out.

Oh wait, we're talking about an Oyster Quartz cased Ref 1530, I was imagining an old Submariner or Datejust with a 1530 movement lol. That's an unusual thing, SteveM posted about them a while back: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=148618
