If he was Rolex trained he would have to have all waterproofing equipment, they would not supply any watch material if he could not do the same job as they would.
All independant watchmakers complain about access for watch parts, but a lot of them are cowboys. Your watch, your choice.
Back to Rolex every time and pay the bill when it comes, any complaints send it back and give them a hard time, but a least you've got a worldwide guarentee on your service, joe bloggs up the road give you that?
