    The Critical J.

    PROS: All the clocks are top quality and he even has older clocks on the back wall. He does clock repair/servicing as well. He has been in business for decades and knows everything there is to know about maintaining clocks and what goes into one. His prices are also great! CONS: Parking is scarce while the shop doesn't have too much inventory on certain select clocks (mantles, cuckoos, and watches). OVERALL: I highly recommend coming here to do business with. This person is the type where you can have a conversation with for hours

    Super friendly and great, quick work on my watch. Definitely worth going to the bottom floor of White Plains Mall.

    Went to get a new watch battery. Excellent service. They also have some very nice vintage clocks.

    Do they do repairs for watches? For example if a watch has a broken mechanism?

    Owners were very rude over a parking situation. After trying to explain they continued to be rude…read moreand then waved me off after I attempted to apologize.

    These other reviews are either friends of the owners or just throwing around money to the point…read morethat there's no issue. My experience here flat out sucked. Came in one afternoon to get a necklace fixed. My 2 year old broke the bail connecting the pendant to it, which is either a quick repair or replacement of the bail. This isn't the first time my son has done this, and I typically wait 30min at most while a jeweler fixes it for ~$20. No big deal. Nobody was out front despite there being tools and jewelry sitting on the counter, but I heard a guy in the back on the phone with someone so I waited it out. 15min later, this guy was still on the phone loudly cursing and reliving his glory days in the 60's. Tried yelling to get his attention to no avail, so eventually just banged one of the instruments strewn on the counter on a piece of metal to get him out there. I had my wife and kids waiting in the car and thus couldn't afford to wait and listen any longer. Keep in mind I am in a jewelry store by myself with merchandise sitting on the counter (LOL). Explained what I needed, and upon reply the jeweler clearly didn't listen to a damned thing I said. First he wanted me to leave it with no explanation, then he talked about going somewhere special to get a new bail, and then talked through how complicated this very simple task was and hard it would be to fix. He then asked me if I wanted to spend $50. My answer was of course no, seeing as the whole necklace cost ~$100 and that would've be 2x what I've ever paid. His response then was to push me back the necklace and say that he "couldn't do anything for less than $50". $50 for what exactly, getting off his butt? Because he wanted to try and gouge for probably one of the simplest things you could ask a jeweler to do? Fuck that. He was incredulous. If you can't handle simple things like this, why would I ever spend real money with you? What a pompous, out of touch and stupid response. Not sure if I dealt with an owner or not, but who ever it was needs to retire if he can't handle simple customer requests in between talking to his 'friends'.

    Avoid Ralph at All Costs - Incompetent and Dishonest…read more I'm writing this from the courthouse where I've just filed a lawsuit against Ralph. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. I brought my father's watch to Ralph for a simple gasket replacement. It's a diving watch he wore while serving in the military, and I'm heading to Ukraine to serve myself--I wanted to wear the watch in his honor. I chose Ralph because of the many glowing reviews online. Big mistake. The first red flag was the overwhelming smell of marijuana in his shop. I dismissed it at the time, thinking maybe it helped him focus on delicate work. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I first brought the watch in, it was functioning well--just running about a minute slow each day. All I asked was for Ralph to replace two gaskets. We agreed on $200, which was all I could afford as I won't be working for the next six months during service in Ukraine. For such a basic job, it was a fair price. A day later, I called to ask if he could look into the cost of a new crystal. After not hearing back for a couple of days, I followed up--only to be told he had already replaced the crystal for $150 without my consent. When I told him I wouldn't have agreed to that, he flew into a rage, yelling about how he wasn't making enough on the job. It became clear to me he may have serious issues, possibly substance-related. When I finally went to pick up the watch, the bezel no longer turned. Ralph claimed I had damaged it myself, which I hadn't. Then I noticed the self-winding mechanism wasn't working. He insisted it was fine, despite clear evidence to the contrary. It was rubbing against the back plate. I stormed out taking my watch, but later returned, hoping he would take responsibility. After more yelling and resistance, he begrudgingly agreed to take another look. Weeks passed. My departure date for Ukraine got closer. Today, 2 days day before I leave, Ralph texts to say the watch is ready. I go in--and unbelievably, it's in worse condition than before. The winding mechanism is not working as it should. The bezel now turns, but it could easily be roomed with a thumbnail. I walked out refusing to pay. This time, he followed me outside, becoming aggressive. I told him I would see him in court. Later that day, I went to another, far more competent watch repair professional. He opened the case and immediately found the issue: the movement wasn't seated properly, and the retaining ring was missing. I know that was there when I gave it to him because I open the watch myself to see what gaskets were needed. Without it, the entire mechanism is unstable. If a replacement can be found, the watch might be salvageable. But it's an older model, and chances are slim. This isn't just a watch--it's a deeply sentimental piece of my family's history. And it's also quite valuable. Ralph, if you're reading this: You know exactly what happened. That retaining ring didn't vanish on its own. It's either still in your shop or you carelessly threw it away. I don't forget things like this, and I'm not letting it go. Ever. To anyone considering trusting him with something valuable: Don't. The reviews are misleading. My experience was a disaster, and now I'm left with a broken watch and a legal battle just days before leaving. Also, take a moment to read the negative reviews--those are the accurate ones. Many people have had experiences similar to mine. And look at his responses: full of excuses, never accountability. He clearly lacks the ability to take personal responsibility. Pathetic. Take a look at the photo I've attached. You can see at nine and 10 o'clock the space between the watch face and the case itself.

    I dropped off my Panerai and Omega for polishing on Thursday and received a call on Monday that…read morethey were ready for pickup. Both watches were restored to mint condition-- the Omega had significant scratches and the Panerai had a ding, all of which were flawlessly repaired (check attached pictures). Excellent service at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
