Here is where not to go
Seiko service in Mahwah, NJ. I have a Seiko chrono. The rings around the pushers are stuck. Probably needs lubrication, but I don’t want to ruin the watch.
Simple job, Seiko Mahwah returned the watch, said nothing wrong, pushers still stuck. Not a difficult request. I realize OP asked about GS, not S. |

They are no good
I asked them to fix a specific problem with my watch which I identified. They could not confirm the problem and they did not fix it. I would not let them wind my watch.

I would rather go to an AD and let them send it to Japan.

I've had about a dozen vintage Grand Seikos serviced by Michael Young in Hong Kong, with no issue. I imagine any good watchmaker should be able to do a movement overhaul.
