1980 datejust repair advice needed

datejust bought in 1980
had subpar crystal installed in 2006
water damage requiring new (non factory) face

"certified" rolex repair shop is near me

simple question for you experts- try the local guy, or deal directly with Rolex

love this watch, which I paid 900$ for in 1980, and understand I may have to spend more than that to make it the watch nice again.

appreciate inputs

thanks

Who is you local guy? Is he know here? Plenty of reputable watchmakers on this forum that specialize in vintage and restoration…
