I've seen watches ruined by the local yokels.

Done what for 40 years? I'm sure there's plenty of guys that can mess up a Rolex, but I suspect there are some with a good reputation that can be vetted online at a watch forum. Just throwing it out there. It sounds like taking an old Porsche to a dealer vs a reputable indy. I don't know, I'm more in the camp of waiting until there's a problem before servicing it. I've only had nice watches since 2011, but my first one was a quartz 300M. Retail price $2,250 and discounted price $1,575 through an AD. Works perfectly, no muss no fuss. Has the right time on it except a dead battery or a clock change. Nowadays I can't find a single Omega I like that's quartz anymore.
