    Looking to do a dial swap on my Speedmaster, Nesbit's already came back and said they can't do service with customer-provided parts.

    Can anyone recommend a reliable shop to get the work done?

    Thanks for any help!

    Ask the watchmaking school (WTI) at North Seattle College.

    Haven’t tried them myself yet, but I believe Arc Watch Works in Bellevue should be able to do it. They seem to generally get good reviews.

    Customer: "I'd like a medium mocha iced coffee and a Boston Creme Donut."

    Dunkin Donuts clerk: "I'm sorry sir, but we're out of Boston Creme Donuts."

    Customer: "Okay, how about a vanilla latte and a Boston Creme Donut instead?"

    DD clerk: "Sir, we're out of Boston Creme Donuts."

    Customer: "Alright, how about an orange juice and a Boston Creme Donut?"

    DD clerk: "I'm sorry sir, but I've told you twice that we are out of Boston Creme Donuts!"

    Customer: "Fine! Just give me a Boston Creme Donut then!"

    Give Roanoke Park Watch Repair a call. They seem to have good reviews from a couple of people that got more than just a battery swapped or a linked removed.

    Thanks everyone, I'll give Roanoke a call when they open, they seem to have the best reviews online.

    Yep went to Arc in Lynwood. Had a great experience. The dial swap took about an hour so I just wandered around the mall.

    Highly recommend them!

    Does the water resistance hold up after the swap?
