independent that have parts accounts?

Is there a list of independent watchmakers in the US that Rolex parts account? I'm purchasing a 16600 with tritium dial and would like to get a service dial/hands/bezel to have luminova but want to keep the original parts.

Absolutely; I know one in Boston. I believe there are a number that are members of the forum as sell. Rik in FL is one.

Tiny Jewel Box in Washington has an amazing, Rolex trained watchmaker who really specializes in every difficult work. The staff there is amazing and really customer oriented.

Riki did a great job on my watch.

I am surprised there isn't a TRF approved watchmaker in NYC.
