Watchmaker in SW Forida

I am looking for a reputable watchmaker in the SW Florida area (Cape Coral, Ft.Myers, Naples). I have checked around, but can't seem to find anyone. Looking for someone local to service my watches and also do pressure tests for me and check seals/gaskets once a year.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Rikki, I have indeed heard great things about your work. I am looking for someone I can drive to local, but if I cannot find anyone I will let you know and I can mail them up to you.

I drove 4 hours to Rikki, well worth the drive and you won't be disappointed.

If I still lived in Naples, I'd be driving up to bug Rik weekly.

Another vote for Rikki, a great watchmaker with quick turnaround!

Made my '69 1016 run like brand new.

My 2007 16613 is going to need a service soon, and guess where I'm sending it... to Rik!! No RSC wait time, or price.
