    I called them regarding my '70's Seiko 6139 chrono watch (mechanical). They advised me that they…read morecan't get vintage Seiko parts and they don't service them. This saved me a long trip over to their shop.

    Let me preface this by saying this is my first ever 1 star review - I generally come to Yelp to…read moreshare my experience with good things, and thanks to the reviews of others I rarely end up having an experience that merits a one star review. In this case, I wanted very much to like JWATCH/Chelsea Watch Repair, as it is just down the street and I have a small collection of vintage watches that tend to need a little more love than their modern counterparts. I think that if you need basic work done (quartz battery swaps, bracelet adjustments and simple mechanical services) then this shop is probanly just fine. They've got a nice little storefront and everyone I interacted with seemed pleasant, if not a bit short. However - for complicated work on rare or higher end pieces, I'd stay far away. I took my '69 Tudor Date+Day to JWATCH on October 9th to get an estimate for service on the movement, screw down crown and a scratch on the crystal, hoping an independent shop would come in with a lower quote and faster turnaround versus sending it to the Rolex Service Center in TX. They told me it would be 5-10 days until I got the estimate, and work could proceed from there - fair enough. On October 19th (10 day mark) I sent a message through their online repair portal asking if they had any news. I didn't get a reply, so I called on October 21st and received a message from the phone company that the number was not in service. Apparently, when they are closed they somehow disconnect their entire phone system instead of taking voicemails, because the number worked the next day. I called back again on the 22nd and finally reached someone; who told me that they would look at my watch tomorrow. On the 23rd (14 days) later they send me a quote for nearly $1,000, which was significantly higher than even Rolex wanted. I presume they didn't want to do the complicated work and threw out a crazy number figuring it would be worthwhile if I did accept, which I did not. I went the next day to pick up my watch, ready to move on - however, this is where it becomes a one star review: When I got home, I went to set the watch (which hadn't been wound the entire time, which is how I know they were just sitting on it) and the crown and stem just FELL OFF. Literally fell apart - mind you, the watch was perfectly intact when I dropped it off. I thought about taking it back but decided to stop by the highly rated Star Watch Repair in Midtown before wasting another week with JWATCH. Star took one look at the watch, fixed everything JWATCH had broken right in front of me and then quoted a significantly more reasonable $500 for the work I requested. I picked it up from him 10 days later (total) and its perfect. Like I said, this is my first ever one star review and it really didn't have to be, but their lack of communication and the gall of returning a watch that hadn't been put back together gives me no other choice. Skip this place for complex repairs and make the trip to Star Watch.

    One of my daughter's necklaces needed a new clasp. The first place that came to mind for any…read morejewelry. Repair is Zimmer Brothers Jewelers. They didn't survive 130 years without integrity. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. This is fifth generation ownership. You heard me correctly fifth generation. You don't survive five generations without integrity. Unfortunately, the clasp replacement needed to be sent out, which did surprise me as I just assumed there was an on-site jeweler who could do small repairs like that. The set was in need of a cleaning so we added that to the order. Fortunately, the Representative informed me that the jewelry I was bringing in should not be cleaned in one of those ultrasound machines. I am so glad she told me that. I did not ask for an appraisal this time because funds were a little tight but toward the end of the year, I will consider bringing all of our jewelry to them so that we can update our insurance. They went out of their way to accommodate my schedule, which did not allow for me to pick up for several months. They kept in touch, as did I to make sure that my daughter said was well cared for until we could get there. Just a tip for the public;, the price of precious metals has skyrocketed so any Repair may set you back a bit more than you expected. I felt that the price was fair, all things considered. Would I shop at Zimmer Brothers Jewelers in the future? Absolutely! They have an extensive collection of unique jewelry and a reputation that has lasted more than 130 years. I took a photograph of the lovely people who helped me and will upload it at a later date

    I've had a great experience working with Zimmer Brothers and my sales associate Retno, my wife had…read morea lot of rings that she couldn't wear because of her arthritic joints, we looked at options and it would have been over 2,000 per ring, however the team at Zimmer Brothers went above and beyond to come up with an affordable solution which was a clasp that now allows her to once again wear her rings. This was accomplished with the help of our sales associate, Retno, Bonnie, Mary Ellen and Shanna who came up with the idea for the design. I'm very thankful to all the salespeople at Zimmer Brothers who worked hard on our behalf.
