Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I don't own a Rolex, just a Breitling Navitimer 01 with blue dial. I hope to expand my collection and learn a little more about Rolex. My wife has an Oyster Perpetual Datejust (stainless and gold) , we got it used and it's timekeeping has been less than stellar. I imagine it's due for a service. Any recommendations? Should I service it with Rolex or would a local shop be able to handle it?

Welcome aboard and don't worry. Hang around here long enough and you'll be asking what to get next.
