Is there a decent watch repair shop on the east side of BR.

My watch took a bit of a hit over the weekend and now isn't auto winding properly.

Need it for a wedding, but going to be busy all week except for maybe 10-15 minutes I can get out of work.

Or a shop open after 6.

I'm pretty sure Elgin's can do watch repair. And they're open until 7pm on Thursday.

I have always been satisfied with Patton's on the corner of Sherwood/Coursey.

This is Rando.

Are you timing the ceremony?

You do know that your mobile phone has a clock built-in to it?

There is a watch repair place on Florida Blvd near Richards Honda. He has been there for as long as I can remember and I have used his services a few times over the years. Staff is very knowledgeable and professional.

Bring your watch to an authorized repair shop, instead of some tard in the mall. It'll probably come back worse off than before

Figure out who does it around here, and drop it off. If you can't do that, here's a good opportunity to buy a new one

Lee Michaels on Corporate Boulevard has a real deal certified watch guy but he isn’t cheap and you won’t get the watch back tomorrow. I am assuming, since it is the OT, that this is some rare $45k chronometer that requires his type of services.

If it's a blatant fake you won't be able to get it fixed. If it's an "homage" to one of those watches you can probably get it fixed.

I second Watch Repair. They serviced both my Rolex and my vintage 63 Omega Constellation when I used to live in BR. They do fine work, are reasonable, and importantly: I found them to be honest.
