Jeweler that will work on Replica Rolex?

Hi, does anyone know of a trusty jeweler that will work on replica without judgment? Preferably in North Carolina.

I got a really nice replica from a seller not on the Trusted Dealer List (I learned of this late), and it's very nice BUT the only part I don't like is the clasp. I have 3 real rolexes & 1 other replica & this one is just not the right shape. I see some on EBay I could buy.

I want to have that 1 piece replaced...thoughts?

Thanks!

I would bet a mall place could change a clasp. They may not want to touch it if the gen is above a certain amount. IDK. I bought tools to handle simple jobs like that.

Are you wanting the coronet only changed? Otherwise, why not look for the clasp and link and just unscrew the rep clasp from both sides and replace it with a gen one?

Inside of a Sears around here, they have a little watch repair shop, not sure if that's common or what but they should be 100% okay with doing a small job like that. As Rusty said as well I'm sure you'd also be able to go to a repair kiosk in the mall and have them do the simple job you're looking for.

Thanks! Yes, just the shape of it is poor. Otherwise I'm very happy with the bracelet & actual clasp. In regards to changing out the clasp, I'm new to Reps, so I wasn't sure I could find a piece to fit this watch as I've read most reps aren't same sizes as Gen (of course I know depending on quality purchased). I appreciate the info ;).

Thanks! Ironically I've been to sears about this & they were non-judgmental which was appreciated, I just need to figure out where to get the correct size & good quality coronet. I see EBay has some. Thanks so much!
