They told me 2 years. I didn’t anticipate them telling me they would be swapping parts. I figured they would keep what was serviceable. Probably takes much less time to replace then service. Time is money. I’ll get it back today.
https://www.nesbitswatchservice.com/rolex-services.html has SUPER good reputation between here and the Rolex forum. Rollieworks ALSO has great reputation (particularly for rebuilding bracelets!), but I hear they had a few bad feedbacks lately.

I don't know what you'll be able to find locally, but those would do. They both also can do laser-welding/case cleanup/refinishing/etc as you wish.

Your dealer service rep was unprofessional. The dealer I see locally would most likely either not have accepted the watch or hit me with the eye watering estimate straight away. As it was with mine, her estimate at drop off was spot on when confirmed by service.

I just scanned the thread and I didn’t see a budget mentioned. My local independent who services my vintage watches charges a base of $600 for a Rolex. After that the final price depends on what is needed. Given its condition you are well north of a grand for this one IMO.

I have sent many watches and bracelets to rolliworks and have had fantastic service.

I ended up taking it to my local repair place. It has a good rep with Rolex. I will report back once complete.

The bezel spring does seem tight. Is that because it’s new ? It spins and clicks of course. Just takes some effort to make it happen.

It could be anything from dirt, to an incorrect/damaged part.
