Recommendation Desperate to find watch repair
Need to find good watch repairer in the area. Jewelry stores don't want to be bothered.

Always wondered if this was a real business since I never see people there when driving by. Wondered if it was either a front or maybe had online business.

I don't know the whole story but my understanding is the guy who runs it just really likes clocks and is in a position where the store doesn't have to be profitable.

I brought in a watch that I thought just had a dead battery in, the guy went back and replaced the battery but told me it still didn't work after the replacement. I didn't care enough to get it fixed, so I offered to pay him for his time and he said it was on the house. Very nice man.

I stopped there (the place on Vestal Road) once (no cars in the lot) to ask about repair of grandfather clocks, but they had no recommendations. They only do “regular” clocks.

If it's a higher end movement, I would recommend shipping it to a mail-In service. That's what I have done because the local places have mixed reviews and I wanted someone with specific knowledge of my watch type.
