Watch servicing!

I was wondering where people here prefer to have their watches serviced. Feel free to elaborate in the comments if you like.

For me, I prefer to have the 'higher end' watches serviced at the brand.  In my collection that's my Breitling, Omega, GO.  For my Ball watches I have a local shop.  I like the idea of having service records for my more expensive watches from the brands to show provenance in case I decided to move on from the watch.  For the Ball watches, as I understand it, they farm out factory service in the US anyway so I don't see the point.  Plus Ball, is not a brand that holds value as much as it should because it is so much available on the grey market.

My vintage stuff I don’t mind taking to my local guy that I trust. But my Rolex and Tudor will always go back to the RSC.
