Where in Scottsdale are these shops?

They're spread across South Scottsdale, Thunderbird Industrial Airpark, Central Scottsdale, Paradise Valley Village, Sonoma Ranch and Scottsdale Ranch. Open a listing for the address, hours and directions.

What is a redial watch?

A redial is a watch whose dial has been stripped and repainted, either to fix damage or to make it look better. Most collectors treat redials as a major flaw, so they sell for far less than watches with original dials.

Should I send my vintage Rolex to Rolex for service?

It depends on whether you value originality. A Rolex service center will service it properly but may replace the dial, hands or bezel insert with current parts. If the watch is collectible, use a vintage specialist or give written instructions and ask for all original parts back.

Does polishing a watch reduce its value?

On vintage and collectible watches, usually yes. Polishing removes metal and softens the case's edges and bevels, and buyers pay a premium for cases that have never been polished.
