Repair guidance needed

I have this vintage Patek that belonged to my aunt. I Plan to give it to my daughter, but it is not running. It did run the last time I checked it a few years ago. Manual wind. Is there anyone recommended for watch repair? I have had services done on other nice watches in my area but do not think there is anyone here working on Pateks. Thanks!

Info on vintage Rolex “cocktail” watch

Would like help with more specific identification. Here is what I know. From what my father told me (wish I asked more but he is now deceased), my aunt bought this in the 60s or early 70s. She had the smallest wrists ever and changed band and watch was perfect size for her. They jokingly called it the “baby Rolex”. It says 100 IRID 900 PLAT on back.

Still works and I gave it to my daughter who wears on occasion. I have found somewhat similar ones online - but they were gold and did not say plat. Is this genuine? If so, rare? Any more specific model info? Thanks!

Not really expensive, but it is pretty rare! Got this at the 2026 Masters. Gotta love the Gnome!

Omega Pie Pan

I’ve had this watch for almost twenty five years. Belonged to my grandfather and my father gave it to me back then. I’ve had the crystal replaced. Does anyone know more specific model/features?

Thanks!

Cartier Ceinture Trinity size question

I inherited this watch a while ago, but thought it was too small and just let it sit. Recently, I decided to have it serviced by Cartier and take another try. It is the 26.5mm. Thoughts as a mens watch? Or should I save it for my daughter one day?

Curious for any additional info.

This clock belonged to my grandfather, and I recently inherited it from my father. Howard Miller Limited Edition. Numbered 462. Would like any additional info, year, model, etc. HM said they don’t have any records from that period. Runs well - looses a small amount of time every week or so. Thanks!

Seeking info

This watch was given to me by my father and he passed shortly after. He didn’t tell me much about it. I am just now learning about this brand and would appreciate any info. Thanks!

Verification/authenticity request

I purchased this pen last week and now have it in my possession. I believe it is a Bordeaux Rollerball Classique. It shows W Germany and has no serial number, which I believe is correct for the time. However, it has a black grip section while my similar 90s Bordeaux has body matching color for the grip. I believe there may have been a short time where black grips were produced, but still unsure. Or maybe that part was replaced? Also has a snap cap. Wear consistent with age but good. Any info on date and authenticity observations would be appreciated. Thanks!
