Scott, that’s the only place I would send it. I would send it registered mail, or just wait until you want to take a long weekend off from work and fly down to Dallas with it on your wrist. There are plenty of great restaurants in Dallas, even with this stupid virus floating around. I think some of the museums are open, so there’s plenty to do down here. You would enjoy the hospitality that Rolex offers and would be able to relay your concerns to them in person. If you decide to mail it, enclose a detailed letter specifying that you want a service done but, if you have any limitations, list those clearly. I cannot imagine them replacing the dial, as that’s not a wear item and the replacement of a dial was never even suggested in any of the services I had them perform on all of my watches.
I don’t know what condition your case and bracelet are in, my personal preference was to always refinish them to as-new. Some people value patina, but if you put two original, untouched watches side-by-side and one of them was like new and the other had some wear, the like-new one would be worth more. If in doubt, contact one of the Rolex gurus in the watch world for their opinion. I am out of that world now and although I had a watch similar to yours, I sold it sometime back and haven’t followed the recent sales. If you have any more detailed questions, send me a PM and we can talk.
