Let's hope you don't see any bubbles escaping!
Outside of a few major cities in here in the U.S., I wouldn't know where to have that done. The only watches I ever had pressure tested were my Rolexes at Rolex when I worked in Manhattan. I would guess that good watchmakers are more easily found in Europe--especially in proximity to Switzerland.
I know that guy for years Uhrmacherei – Die Uhrmacherei in der Goldschmiedgasse - https://uhrmacherei.at/ and as I have to bring in my wife's Air King for a revision and dial change this shouldn't be a problem.
On top of that he has that Beauty to show...

Very elegant, with a lovely selection of timepieces. I gather your wife is getting the salmon pink dial.I know that guy for years Uhrmacherei – Die Uhrmacherei in der Goldschmiedgasse - https://uhrmacherei.at/ and as I have to bring in my wife's Air King for a revision and dial change this shouldn't be a problem.

(It's just amazing how quickly Google translates the German text into English.)
Yes, she bought it with the salmon dial and I got her the blue sunburst 4 years ago. Now it’s time to change it back.

Mido Commander II, my first Mido. Wasn't able to resist when I saw it for a fantastic price on a flash deal at Ashford a few days ago, and UPS dropped it off this morning. Unfortunately the picture doesn't really capture how beautiful the Anthracite dial looks in person. This version came on a black Croc-embossed leather strap that I've switched out for the Eulit Perlon that I usually wear on my silver Certina DS-1.
My Citizen Promaster Diver. The OEM 23mm rubber strap on this watch is oddly shaped in an oval where it meets the watch. I tried to switch to my CNS Marlon Band-O to fit, but, my patience wore out after multiple failed attempts. The spring bar would not seat. I used the Bergen tool and spring bar pliers, and, no dice. The weird shape of the strap makes it line up and snap into place easily. So be it. The OEM strap is not bad.
There are curved end straps as well as curved springbars around if this might help…

Last night, I was very surprised when I looked over at 11:30pm and saw...glowing lume! I thought this watch had given up the ghost on that front, but apparently not. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see how well/long the lume lasts, just because I'm curious.

That may help. Thanks. I will see what I can find.
The spring bar is straight, but, the case and strap are curved. A curved straight bar might work for a NATO. You can’t fit one through with the OEM bar. No room.
This was a pretty significant complaint with this model. I guess it is just a quirk.

Back to my Promaster Tough, this time on what appears to be a elastic NATO from Strapsco.
