Rik is in Seminole and he's one of the better ones. If you get to the west coast he'd be good to contact.

Thanks, but that's a bit far from Ft Lauderdale. I am in the Miami metro area.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale and I know that Joseph's Watch and clock on Andrews does good work, but expensive. I usually take my Rolex watches to Robin in the Grove in Coconut Grove.

What do you need done?

No problem... Go see Robin he has done all my watches and family watches and is very reasonable as well as timely.

Another vote for Rik. I bet you could mail it to him and get it back faster, cheaper, and better than others.

No one as good as excel in coral gables locally. Patrick, the owner, was
After parts manager for rolex thru most of the nineties. They're your
Best local option hands down. They also have one of the few parts
Accounts left in the US.

I vote for Rik - he has done a 16613 for me and is finishing up my 1680 Red now.

Send it to Rik, he's the best. His craftsmanship and pricing are unbeatable. Whether it's close or not, you are going to have to leave it.

I agree with the masses. Rik has been working hard to find parts to service my Tudor sub. Can't wait to get it back.

Rik is fantastic, but I think he wants someone local to not deal with shipping.

Hence my suggestion...

You'll be blown away by excel. Their shop has no equal for
Contemporary timepieces.
