He was real kind at a time i needed kindness, and Govind "came from a friend" who had used them a couple times over the years, so i felt i could trust them, and it appears i could.

I went next door to Brittany's and took a chance that they would be able to resize my engagement ring that was recently passed down to me from two generations! I am very new to the area and didn't want to have it sent out or to leave it for days not knowing anything about a company which is why I had made a appointment to begin with. The staff at Brittany's were so kind as well as understanding. The jeweler was very busy as was the entire store for 5 minutes after the doors opened YET they not only fit me into their very busy day they had my ring resized and completely buffed and polished within 2 hours !!!! I am beyond pleased, extremely grateful, and above all I'm so impressed with the professional experience I received today! I will forever be a customer!!! Thank you all so much for helping me today and for a tremendously wonderful job and experience!

The results are a beautiful, modern looking pair of earrings and matching pendant. I never hesitate to look to the Village Jeweler for any jewelry purchase or repair.

You don't get this kind of service very many places anymore, so I absolutely HAD to write a review to let everyone else know about the amazing experience I had!

I paid $15 for a battery replacement and now I must buy a new watch for $45 If you aren't bored already then read on. Honest review...They DO NOT tell you they DO NOT guarantee water resistance until AFTER you pay. The staff are very nice. However, I paid $15 for a battery replacement and they left me with a watch that no longer works. This is a $45 timex ironman. Not hard to replace .... However, the people that worked on my watch didn't do a good job. They were also given a chance to fix the problem and they further damaged the watch. The first mistake was when a younger woman replaced my watch battery and didn't close it properly. when I wore it the following day it was not sealed properly and it took on water inside the case. Fast forward when I was able to bring my watch back to have it corrected.... Another very nice woman came to assist me. However ‍ they made a Second mistake........ They vacuumed out the water and put the case back together. However, they must have removed pieces attached to the buttons as now the light buttons don't work and the backlight doesn't work. If I could do things over I would have NOT brought my watch here. I wish I had time to bring my watch back but I will no longer be in Gainesville. So, I am cutting my losses and buying a new watch.

I asked a for simple quote on being able to add 1 or 2 links to a new watch with one store wanting to charge $45 for a 5-10 min job and the other vendor would not even bother to quote. Oaks said cost will be around $20 depending on complexity but it is a new omega speedmaster and we know it is straightforward to solve. "We know he wants to wear for graduation so just come in and we will adjust it while you wait" That is exactly what they delivered and very satisfying to make it easy to do business with people who understand service and sense of urgency.

The IDC in Gainesville Florida is located in a new shopping center that assesses a 5% special tax on all sales. 5% on several thousand dollars makes their goods overpriced compared with everyone else in town.
