Good watch service places?

[blantyre]

This question has come up before but I couldn't find it. I am looking for someone to service a mechanical watch. It's a Blancpain automatic from the early 1990s I hardly ever wear it and of course as a result it has seized up and only runs sporadically. My local quality watch dealer won't touch it because he's not authorized and the local watch expert is backed up until fall. Any suggestions for a good service place that is not too overpriced would be much appreciated.

Marc Sirianni the "watch doctor" has repaired and cleaned several antique and more recent vintage watches for me, including an Omega. His prices are super reasonable and turn around time was very quick. Hope this helps.
Here is his web address.

Good luck finding a guy to help you out with your watch. I believe that Blancpain (and most other watch companies) are making life harder all the time for small, independent repair guys by refusing them supply of watch parts.
