I'm a little embarrassed it has taken me this long to write a review. I was in Hardy's Jewelry about two months ago to have a piece repaired on the clasp of my 1997 Rolex Submariner. Dema, one of the owners (the store is owned by Dema and his mother, Erena), was able to figure out exactly what was wrong with my watch. And because they were not super busy that day, he was actually able to fix my watch while I waited.
I also had an opportunity to look around the store and talk to Erena while her son was working on my watch. I was impressed with this mother and son team. What a great American Story! They came over from the Ukraine many years ago. Erena has definitely instilled in her son the reality that if you're willing to work hard, you can still be successful in America. This jewelry store has a great history, it's been in that location for almost 60 years. I thought, how cool is it that these hard-working folks were able to come here and make their dream come true.... awesome!
The repair was completed, and the work was great. Before I made this post I called around to a few other Rolex repair shops just to see what they would've charged for the same thing. Hardy's charged me $65.... pretty much everyone else it would be about $125 (I was very specific about the repair that I needed to have done. The cheapest was $110).
I also saw numerous people coming in to pick up their repaired items while I was waiting. Everybody seemed really happy.
I'm so glad I stumbled in there. I just happened to be in the area getting a bite to eat. I knew I was having this problem with my Rolex, and it was going to need to be repaired. I saw their Rolex repair sign in the window and thought I'd give it a shot. I knew I was going to be around for a couple days. I never expected them to do it right then and there, I suspect that's not always going to be the case for people. But nonetheless, I was really grateful for the service and the opportunity to get to know these amazing people who are striving to live the American dream! read more
