Good watchmaker?

Hi there - I'm looking at getting a 1960s pie-pan Constellation serviced and a little restoration work done. Sending it to Omega - who will doubtless do an excellent job - will cost me about 500 dollars, judging by their website. That would be well over twice what I paid for the watch. I have a quote to do the work from Chris Heal in the UK (I live in Ireland) for about 200 dollars. Can anyone reccommend Mr Heal having dealt with him before? The 300 dollar difference I feel would be better spent on a new (old) watch! If not Mr Heal, can anyone recommend a good restorer/watchmaker in Britain or Ireland?

Thanks,
Gavin.
