Without sounding harsh, if you cannot afford to pay dealer prices you cannot afford to own it.
Would you let mickey mouse work on you Ducati?
I now they charge more but if you get a good watchmaker at Rolex do it they change all parts that are worn free as part of service, Joe Bloggs down the road won't he probably won't have access to materials if he had to anyway.
I'm anti Rolex as I worked there, but if I was you and I had one I'd send it there, not your local jewellers to do it, back to Rolex in Bexley.
