Interesting fact: When Rob sends watches back to the US after repair he sends a group of watches in a single shipment to his US agent. His agent then breaks down the shipment and sends the individual watches to their final destination.
I know Jarrett is knowledgeable in Hamilton Electric. Your statement makes me wonder when Jarett "services" an Accutron, it's actually sent to Rob.
I can add a positive review for Rob as well. He has done 3 watches for me.
What about a basic Bulova with a quartz Miyota CM02 movement? I've sent it to Bulova years ago, but it just continues to chew through cells. It's a Marine Star 200m 98C67. I think the movement has been superseded. Thought about getting a new one and swapping it myself.
Not sure what he services or doesn’t, but your best bet is to reach out to him. His page is below.

Page doesn't work for me. Tried several browsers, tablet, phone, laptop.
Just an update, I decided to send my watch across the world to Rob and to my surprise USPS actually got it to his door in about 5 days. He’s confirmed receipt and will touch base when he’s ready to work on it and has gone through it.
So far so good!
I don’t mean to be a scold but I would never trust a watch I cared enough about to send overseas for service to USPS. They couldn’t even manage a recent mail hold without intervention and I’ve had watch parts vanish for months in that system.
Rob Berkavicius in Thailand. I sent him my watch from Boston, USA*.

Rob doesn’t have an 8 week backlog because he is incapable.
His backlog speaks of his ability and reputation.
This is the 4th tuning fork that I have sent him and would not hesitate to send him another if and when. Highly recommended if you can stand the backlog.
