[hutch300]

Many will suggest Nesbits but they are not into working on anything old.

They will just send it to RSC or Swatch.

Nesbit's is a family shop and has been in the Seattle area for decades.

They used to be a West Coast Omega Service Center and did an excellent job of a '60s Seamaster that I still wear on Formal occasions. Pretty sure they can handle either of your watches.

Alternatively, Ben Bridge has a large Service Center in the area where they send their watches from around the US for service, including Rolex.

Nesbits is fine for modern rolex. They will refuse to service many things that are simple. Live here and use them once and a while. He is winding down his career and I get it. Work is solid. Ben Bridge has a dedicated vintage watchmaker here or at least they used to.
