Do you have a geographic preference?

Either same as above, or Ds Time service in San Diego. He fixed up my 16750 very well and is very knowledgeable about vintage stuff. I live in TN now and moved from San Diego probably 8 years ago now, but I still send them to him. I really trust Tom and his workmanship.

Or like I said like above with the Ridley’s they both have a great reputation and I have discussed some vintage repairs with Philip before and based off our conversations I would feel very comfortable sending watches to him as well.

Rik Dietel at Time Care Inc. is near your neck of the woods - in Florida. CW-21 watchmaker and has been well regarded for late vintage work.
