Hi crew. This site goes all over!
The above shop is a old time place with the watchmacker who no longer puts his day in there. But does all the watch work. No Battery except the Accutrons as they where R.R. approved.

The owner is a Jeweler and the most Honest person I have ever worked with.

But its a small family shop and thay only do walk in work. That means no mail in orders on any watches. Its just to difficult to get into all that mail stuff and what happens with the post office etc. Its old world and we like it.( keeps price down and fare)
This fourm is the VERY BEST PLACE to ask your ?s. If you want to try the above shopp out Buy all means I know you will be 100% happy,100% and I say that because thats what the reports say.
Not tooting anybodys horn Its just year after year thats what thay say. But you will have to come in the store. No mail order.
I wish I could talk them into mail order Its seems with the internet theres a lot of people still looking for a Good watch place. And it seems a watch maker could make a modern living now days with the internet.
Anyway walk ins only. so guys from around the world who call I Know the owner loves to hear from you, But really its a small place and he will not do mail order. He takes them in and has the watchmaker go over it and comes back with a price if there are no other issues in the movement.
I guess I am saying save yourselfs the long distance phone calls if you want.
enjoy
psb
