AZ or LV Watchmaker Recommendations?

[mt1785]

Hi All,
I've posted on here a couple times. My dad gave me his 6239 Paul Newman. It did not have the original bracelet so I asked for advice on which bracelet to get. Some members advised a 78350 with 571 end links. I bought a bracelet from member of this site. He has been incredibly helpful. The end links do not quite fit. I've heard this is a common problem and it's best to have a skilled watchmaker manually adjust the end links to fit the watch.

Problem is I live in a small town in AZ and there is no one here competent enough to do this kind of work. I have a couple trips planned to Las Vegas, and Scottsdale/Phoenix is only a couple hours away. Can anyone recommend a skilled watchmaker in either of those locations who could handle this kind of job?

I've been told that the Wynn has a large Rolex boutique, and that Torneau has a large showroom in Vegas. Would either of those locations have someone skilled to do this type of work? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

You could call ED Marshal's in Scottsdale and ask them if they would do something like that while you wait, they have tech's on staff.

Or, send the watch to a Bob Ridley, TX or ABC Watchwerks in LA.

I don't think the stores in Vegas would even give you the time of day, honestly...
