Best Watchmakers & Jewelers With Fair Prices and a Love of Their Work & Customer

by Faustian

Charlie and his "boys" not only are the friendliest jewelers in town (and I've been to them all from 4th Street to Montgomery) but they know watches better than anyone in the Midwest. I've had several Rolexes, Omegas and even a couple of timepieces over 60 years old serviced by Charlie. In one case several watch makers told me that I should just sell the watch for gold as parts were nonexistent. Charlie took the watch and although it took a few months, he found the parts and repaired a vintage piece to like new!

The best part is that I might not walk in for a year and these guys will still remember me and my timepieces as well as let me in on the great deals that they have at the store. I've bought my best timepieces at their store and I will NEVER use anyone else to do COA (Cleaning Oil & Adjustment) on my mechanical and automatic timepieces. These guys are the BEST. Oh and did I say, their prices are the best too. Honest men who love their work and customers.

• Pros: Quality, pricing, service and ability to go the extra mile.
• Cons: They don't have a bunch of new models of watch but rather will have great deals on a select few, but they will find what ever you want.
