I agree, anyone can service these watches, But it's hard to find watch makers who specialize in restoration and are as familiar with how to handle such delicate watches and tritium and or radium parts that can crack and fall apart just by looking at them the wrong way..
Bob was always understanding about the risk involved and the particular nature that these watches have to be handled. one small chip on the dial or hash mark while re-installing and could take thousands off the value of some of these watches.
