...with a Rolex parts account in the greater Hartford, Ct area? I think it's time for a service for my D serial Explorer 1 - no issues, but better safe than sorry. Thanks-

Not in CT. but Rik Dietel aka Rikki is just a FedEx away in Florida! He is super fair and does great work!

Rikki service is great with fast turn around time. His prices are also very fair.

Rik's work is amazing

IMHO Bob Ridley is the Rolex watch repair/restoration person I would recommend most. I have used:

1. Quality Tyme in Saint Petersburg, Florida
2. Rik E. Dietel in Seminole, Florida
3. Bob Ridley in Arlington Texas

I had excellent service from each of the Rolex service providers above. Bob Ridley was the most recent Rolex repair person I've used, I flew to Texas to visit him in person first to discuss a couple of watches I wanted him to work on for me and I must say I was very impressed with Mr. Ridley and will be using him for my Rolex repair/service needs in the future. That's not meant to degrade any of the others but I am most comfortable with Bob and his great attention to detail.
