Rolex service Bucks
Discussion
First port of call would be ‘Variomatic’ on here, he’s a way out from Bucks but will accept watches through the post if your friend is willing to risk it - although for a Rolex I'd be tempted to stump the price of a proper service - pricey but comes back gleaming and with a 2 year warranty racked onto it
Beware that it’ll be gone for all eternity if he sends it official, my Submariner has gone to be regulated and it’s quoted as taking nearly 10 weeks

And again, for the record...not a customer, but can vouch for the fact they have been in Tring for at least 15 years, if thats of any help.For the record, I have never used them, however Know of a few people who use them for Rolex stuff and rate them!
Rolex Service Centre in London, I took mine there earlier in the year (walked in and booked it in myself) however mine "required" a new bracelet and they refused to polish the bracelet but wanted to polish the watch itself so I declined. Quote was about £700 including replacement crystal and crown. Was about £3000 including the bracelet.
I'm going to use Prestige Time Services in the new year, have had quite a few emails with them including photos of the bracelet that needs "replacing" and they have said they will clean and polish it no problem at all. They are local to my mums house so going to take it down there.
I got a recommendation of watch doctors as well from a mate of mine.

Waiting time is normally 10 weeks or so, but you only post once it’s near the front of the queue.
The only place in the country outside of Rolex UK with full Rolex spec workshop facilities.

I sent my Oris Aquis off to Watchdoctors for a service in the autumn. Since it came back I’ve had five screws in the bracelet come loose including the lug screw which went walkies and cost another £15 to replace.
Could just be coincidence, of course, and it’s only my experience. Otherwise they were decent value and treated the watch well.

Darius at The Clock Gallery in Ealing has a chap that trained on Rolex movements. They're shut for Christmas, back around the first or second week of January.

If you are considering putting it in the post anyway, feel free to message me regarding your needs.
Once it’s in the post it doesn’t matter where it’s going really.
Unlike someone has incorrectly claimed, there are over 30 full spec Rolex workshops in the UK, mine being one of them.
