2nd Hand Service Dilemma

[Brny11]

Hey watch fam! So the dilemma I am having...

Noticed a sudden change in time on my 2015 SubC purchased second hand from reputable dealer. Ran perfect for almost 2 years... A local well known watch maker tested it and told me watch needs to go for servicing as it is not running properly. I brought it right down to my local AD and asked them to ship it for warranty review. They fed me the BS that since my name isn’t on warranty card Rolex may charge for service. I argued that point and they basically said “no guarantees”.

Do I...
A. pay the $90 to ship and cross my fingers RSC accepts warranty card (slow turnaround time and may possibly get bad news for expensive service)
B. Let local watch maker work his magic. Relatively cheap service cost and quick turnaround.
C. Keep watch hacked or just let it run out of juice and store it untll I’m in NY in June / July and just take it in for them to review (no cost review but I hate going a few months without my watch).

Watch maker is Scott at Orlando watch Co. if you are ever in the area, it is one of my favorite shops to visit. He usually carries a solid selection of 2nd hand Rolex watches. His personal collection is insaneeee. Winter park is also amazing if you want to get away from the tourist area!
