Repairs in Central Florida

I’ve just returned to the US after 15 years in Cancún Mexico. I am living in Lecanto, Florida, which is in Citrus County. My 1967 5513 is due for service, having been last serviced by an authorized Rolex service center in Cancun. Can someone recommend a service location near me? I’d rather drive the watch than ship it, if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.

Why do you want to service it? if it was serviced 10 or so years ago, the oil (modern oil) is still good - and will be good for a long time. ANY time you let someone handle your watch, they can damage the hands or the dial - that will destroy the watch. Parts for 1570 are readily available and even in 20 years you'll have no problem getting them.

Don't service unless you have to.

Watch keeps time but no reserve. Self-wind not working.
