I cannot rave enough about Deby. She is so skilled and knowledgable. I bought a dress from a sample…read morestore, and it was several sizes too large. I also wanted to put lace capped sleeves on the dress since it was originally strapless. She was able to do exactly what I was looking for, and I could not have been happier with the way my dress turned out. She also provided expert advice when I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted certain aspects of the dress. She thinks of every detail--aspects I never would have even thought to ask about. I was extra appreciative of Deby because shortly before my wedding, she was able to accommodate a last minute change to the capped sleeves. When I called and asked if it was possible, she told me not to worry at all and during my final fitting, she was able to reshape the sleeves. Her prices were completely reasonable as well. Definitely use Deby if you're looking for expert alterations, a friendly person, and reasonable prices.

I just got it back and it's keeping perfect time. About 10 years before this, I sent my Rolex to California Watch Repair (another so-called Rolex repair company) to do a service, and a month later my watch had visible water droplets on the inside crystal. I found The Watch Repair Center and after speaking with Errol I sent it to him. He cleaned out all the water damage, replaced everything that was irreparable and then did a full service. It then ticked as a Rolex should, and no water issues from then on. I can't speak highly enough about Errol and his wife Michelle. 20 Stars out of 10! Seriously!

They run a variety of auctions throughout the year from high end to the dude next door variety. There is something for everyone. They make it easy to bid online if you cannot be present.
