Icon18 Repair shop recommendations
Hi All,

I live in Birmingham AL and unfortunately there is are very few good shops that work on Rolex watches.

I need to have my Daytona serviced as it is losing time are there any reputable repair shops other than the Rolex factory service that I could ship it to for service that any of you would recommend.

I appreciate the guidance and input.

Thanks
EJP

Either Rik or Vanessa can take care of you; Rik is a bit closer so he might be the better choice for you (and I think Vanessa is still on vacation)...

Maybe it just needs a simple regulation and not a full service..

Yes, we had a great time! It's nice to be back though, I can only handle so many family visits once every 5 years!

Yes I moved to Seattle last month, and finally getting a formal (Rolex)education. I began watchmaker school this Fall Semester in order to acquire my SAWTA, and CW21 certs. I spend about 8-9hrs in class, but once school is out, I work on watches to pay for school, and living expenses. If anyone needs my help, I'm available.
