Anyone tried ABC watchwerk or alternative service center for your AP?
Hi, I want to service and refinish my RO, has anyone tried ABC watchwerk in Los Angeles before or other third party service center? I have tried ABC for my vintage Rolexes an they were great. I tried my Hong Kong AD for service quotation but the quotation took a long long long time (One year, because sent back to swiss) and quite expensive (over 4K usd), need to change some parts. I am wondering if there are any good alternatives competible or better than the AD Spa? Many thanks in advance.
