Do what I did. I found a good local watchmaker (actually two) that I trust. I personally hand the watch to either of them and we personally inspect the condition of the watch when I leave it and we both make notes. When I pick the watch up, we do another inspection to make sure all is OK.

There are many good competent watchmakers around. It's the "service technicians" that I fear.
