Help! Need to repair a very important watch

Hi TRF, I'm hoping somebody might know of a very good watch maker in Florida, that can service and repair a 40 year old Wakmann dive watch. The watch was my father's given to him by my Mom, in the early to mid 1970s. Now my daughter has been wearing it, but it needs to be repaired. Sometimes you cannot wind the watch and although it will still run, it (to the best of my knowledge) has never been serviced. This is not a tremendously valuable watch in dollar terms, but this watch has tremendous sentimental value to me as this was the watch my Dad wore when we were diving together back in the 70s and 80s, and I don't want to just bring it anywhere and hope for the best.

So, if anyone knows of a good watch maker / repair shop that can service a 40 plus year old Wakmann watch, I'd be most grateful!

I live in S. Florida, but would take it anywhere in FL to get it to the right person. Or, I could always ship it somewhere too. Just looking for a good referral.

Thanks again!

Is he a watch maker? If so, do you have a last name, or business name? Or a number? Thanks!
