Bob Ridley does exceptional work. (Texas)
Rikki Dietel is another I can highly recommend (Florida)

JOT in Newport Beach CA., excellant reputation and great customer service. Just got a pristine Datejust blue dial, highly recommend. Give Kenny a call.

Have not used ABC but based on personal experience I can say without reservation that Bob Ridley in Dallas will do an exceptional job for you. Based on everything I have read from countless Forum members, ABC is also an excellent option for you.
Good luck and please know that before and after pictures are always welcome.

I just got my GMT back from ABC a few weeks back and I am very satisfied with their work. I opted for a full case polish on my 16750.

I have used Rikki, ABC, Dominque Weiland and Bob Ridley.

I will continue to use Bob Ridley and Dominique Weiland as my first choices.

All will do great work.
