A couple of Roxexs - need service advice and sympathetic restoration advice..
Hello all. My first post...I have a couple of Rolexs and need some advice regarding restoration and service. I had contacted IWW a couple of years ago but didn't pull the trigger. Jack is no longer able to get Rolex parts.
Watch 1 is a "red letter" Submariner from 1974. It needs movement service, gaskets, new crystal, bezel insert. Maybe stabilize the face markings. Polish case and bracelet. Watch 2 is a Rolex Daytona from 1997. It needs movement service, maybe a new bezel, polish etc. Can anyone recommend the appropriate watchmaker for the tasks on these two watches?

For the Daytona I would just stop by Wixon in Bloomington and talk to Len Carter their Rolex watchmaker.
