Rolex RSC is in London & Kent but if its vintage probably better somewhere else?

I use a independent chap if I'm not using RSC. He did a great job on my 1970 DJ. PM and I'll happily send you his number.

I didn't have a good experience with the RSC here in Prague, where I live. When I brought my watch in they wanted to do a full overhaul, including replacing the hands, repairing the dial, etc. I didn't believe they understood how to service a vintage Rolex.

Is London RSC better at handling vintage?
