There are some individuals out there whom vintage folks really trust. But Rollieworks also is excellent.

Try a forum search or just spend a week or two reading the vintage forum. You will find many threads like this one where people make recommendations.

I would not recommend Rolliworks. Phillip Ridley would be one watchmaker that gets my recommendation.

His dad, Bob Ridley, is terrific. Bob’s waitlist is longer than most and he is a bit more expensive, but his knowledge and skill are tremendous.
