    I'm looking for someone in Detroit Mi area that can do routine mice on my late 1950s Seamaster. Is there a list here on recommended places or can someone point me in the right direction?

    TIA

    JD's Watch Repair gets good references on the forum. All you need to do is use the search function.

    Tanner (@Tmorehouse51) great. He refinished my Mark II case but quickly won more of my business. Hey, one box (4 watches) will reach him today :). He is very fast.

    I would speak with Armen at Darakjian in Birmingham Michigan. Armen will point you in the right direction. Plus, he owns a hell of a watch boutique with some incredible stock on hand to fondle.

    I did contact a reputable shop the next town over. He is a certified Swatch/omega and Rolex technician. Teaches for Rolex. A clean and lube is $400. Does that seem right? I specifically told them not to polish the case, face or hands and no band to clean as I am replacing with leather. Still $400.

    For $410 my local guy just overhauled a 1940 Tri Compax and is doing another Tri for the same price, so it should be half that. $2-250.

    Ok well I'm back to looking. Armen at Darajkian didn't return my call and I read really bad reviews on Universay Jewelry and Watch.

    J&R in Roseville said about $150 so may go see them.
