Heuer Viceroy

I inherited a circa 1970 Heuer Chronograph this xmas. I always liked the watch (my dad's) but it is in desperate need of service. It is caked in "body gook" from 30 years of daily wearing. It has never seen a service bench but still runs. I'm looking forward to a complete overhaul but there don't seem to be too many places that will touch it. This place http://www.pocketwatchrepair.com/ seems to be someone who will work on it but Heuer is not listed as a brand they work on. Does anyone know where to get this chronograph serviced?

Sorry can't help with repair info but that thing is a classic. You're very lucky to add it to your collection. Even better that it was worn by your father.
Good luck,

That is too obvious. I only ask because I anticipate them being useless when it comes to old Heuers. I suppose I could be wrong but did the brand go straight downhill after TAG?
