路RGM declined to service my Breitling. I guess they felt underwhelmed or too busy with really cool stuff.

路路"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"...I would also recommend Precision Horology, Ashton Tracy though I have only had one experience with him that was very satisfactory...
+2. 馃榿
Ashton serviced two Seiko 6139s for me. He's very experienced with Seiko, amongst other brands. He sent me a lengthy document with photos of the movement.

路At this point, even though I would consider myself "a good customer" of RGM, I'd call up or write Roland to ask whether RGM was ready to take in a "such and so" vintage watch . . . and if so, to check the anticipated turnaround time.
I would not be offended if he suggested, "check back with me in three months," though I would be a little disappointed 馃槈
They seem to be genuinely just that busy . . .
. . . and I do have a suspicion that they have a contractual and/or moral obligation to take care of the warranty work for whatever brands they act as "factory service" ahead of any vintage watch service.
I'd also guess at this point that it is extremely difficult to find a properly trained and talented watchmaker to add to staff who is willing to work on salary.
Speculation . . .

How did that discussion take place? Did you call them or send the watch?

路What was the reason given? I can鈥檛 fathom that they would refuse service without a reason.

路路"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"I was expecting something like this. It's similar to other brands that don't share parts, unfortunately. It's also a reasonable reason to not take on a repair.
Edit: Roland had at least one Navitimer and a Chronomat in his collection so he seemed to respect Breitling.
