Watch Cleaning/Servicing/Reconditioning

Well for the last two years I've worn my Monaco 90% of the time and I'm looking for the best person I could send it to for a thorough cleaning, servicing, etc. Any suggestions from the gurus?

never dealt with TAG for servicing but all my other watches had to go back to the manufacture for service, its more expensive and time consuming but it should re-up the warranty for another year if the manufacture services it.

Google Tag Heuer Service. I was going to have my ex's father's Tag Monaco serviced before I broke up with her, but I no longer have the info. Should be in the neighborhood of $350... Good luck man!

Is it just me or is watch servicing slightly overrated? For example, my uncle has a Rolex that he wears everyday, and had did for 30 years, until it stopped. Took it for a service, and have been going since for another 10 years since that service.

Taking the watch in for a polish on the other hand is a different story. Need to keep it looking spiffy.

Looking for a polish/cleaning more than a servicing. Wasn't sure if there was a go-to guy for such a thing amongst the local expertise.

Get a cape cod cloth and apply some elbow grease. It will shine like a diamond in a goat's ass...

Stryke (Gil) the watchcollectorny took great of my riled when I showered with the crown open.

His guys may be able to help.

It was the best possible experience I could have dreamed working with him.

+1 on using Stryke's guy Ben.

He turned my very scratchy 10 year old Sub into as-new.
