DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN WITH YOUR WATCHES!!!
Please do not come here. He wasted my time and money on something that he DID NOT FIX and said that it was fine and that I did not fix what I had initially asked. He is not only a dishonest person, but a scammer that uses intimidation, gaslighting, and coercion to get what he wants.
When I first came in, I first asked him if he was able to fix a vintage wristwatch that I had from the 60's. I initially asked him first if; 1. he was able to fix wristwatches and 2. If he was able to, that he would give me an estimate. He only said that "...I'll take a look at it..." And said that he would call me after he was done. Sure enough, ALMOST A WEEK and multiple unanswered voicemails later... I had to call to see what was going on. He said that it was "done" and that the total will be SIXTY DOLLARS!!! So, I went in person and questioned him why he had "fixed" it without telling me how much it would cost, and then gaslit me saying that I "wanted it fixed" and then I asked him if I can get a discount but then he wouldn't budge and so he held my watch for ransom until I paid the $60. Condescendingly he asked if I wanted him to open the caseback after I was standing there examining my watch to see what he did, I noticed that the dial was STILL LOOSE and I asked him why it was still loose but he gaslit me saying that it was the rotor making all the noise when in reality I know about watches and that I can see with my very eyes that the dial was moving around (rotors don't sound like that).
He continued to press me to pay $60 on something that wasn't fixed and on something that he himself said took "an hour and a half" long to "fix". He himself said that he charges half the value of the watch, while online I can buy the same model for the same price he was charging me. While I was contemplating on leaving the watch, He went to go to his desk and pretended that he was "fixing something" (he was just fiddling with something). I kept asking him for at least 50 but he said I was wasting his time (no pun intended) and continued to hold my watch for ransom.
He was being all passive aggressive when I was trying to negotiate a more reasonable price and he was trying to take advantage of my "naivety" because I was young. All I wanted was to see if my watch can be fixed and now lost $60 for no reason. I want a refund and I am very displeased.
PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE I WISH I HAD GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE read more
