Service suggestions near or in SC or Atlanta?

[scottjal]

I'm looking for good third party Rolex service options in South Carolina or near Atlanta GA. Must be capable of repair, pressure testing, full service etc. Let me know what's available please, thanks!

My trusty 2006 GMT-II is starting to show signs it needs service, it has an unusually low reserve like the auto winder isn't performing well. I seem to remember from research years ago this is a potential weak spot for Rolex movements? This watch has been a daily wear piece for me sense about 2007, I still love it. It was last serviced by Rolex TX back in 2013.

Been a long time sense I visited, nearly spent some money when I saw the new 116622 Yacht-Master. The 16622 has always a looker IMO.

You could send it down to Time Care inc near Tampa... lots of good feedback here on TRF

4 years since last service is not that long. Did you try winding watch 40 turns and checking power reserve? Some folks depending on activity aren't active enough for the watch to wind itself, and a manual wind once a week is needed.
As for an indy cw21 Rik at Time Care in Florida is one of the best. I have also used him for my watches.

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I remember Time Care being mentioned favorably when I was on the board here years ago, or at least it was someone in FL. I'm still kind of on the fence, want to get it right and I'm thinking about RSC, or someone that has a great reputation.

I don't think I've ever gotten the quoted 48 hours reserve in the about ten years of wearing this watch. But if I hand wind I get the day, day and a half I have always gotten. The change here is with my same general lifestyle it is dying on me if I don't wear it all day every day, if I set it down it dies in a half day. In general it has always been OK to skip a day, pick it up the next morning and it's still going. Not really the case any longer, I wore it all week and set it down probably 4pm Friday. Went to put it on Saturday about noon and it was stopped.
