I would strongly caution anyone considering using Glezer-Kraus for watch repair…read more I entrusted two timepieces to them through an authorized repair process facilitated by Gucci. One watch was repaired, the second was returned unrepaired--both were shipped back together. The package arrived empty, and both watches were lost while in transit under their control. While they refunded the repair fee, they have refused to provide reimbursement for the loss of my property. Instead, they attempted to substitute a random replacement watch from their inventory, which I declined. My original items--one of which held significant sentimental value--were not interchangeable. More concerning is their handling of the claim: The shipment was insured for $600, which matched the verbal appraisal provided by their associate prior to authorizing the repair, yet they attempt to minimize the value after the fact I was informed by FedEx that their claim was denied, and they have not provided a clear explanation or supporting documentation Responsibility has been deflected rather than addressed, leaving me no choice but to pursue legal remedies At no point did I control the shipping, carrier, or insurance--this was entirely managed by their business, despite all shipping costs being passed on to the customer. The loss occurred while the watches were in their custody, yet they have not taken full accountability. Losing a customer's property is serious. Failing to resolve it fairly is unacceptable. Proceed with caution.

When it was my turn, he took the watch and went in the back. It didn't take much more than five minutes for him to return with the watch working again! And the price was very reasonable, under $20.

I asked if I could pay right then so I could quickly "grab it" when it was ready. She said.....there's no charge. I said, I insist on paying. She refused and another gentleman came over and said absolutely not. I was shocked!! But in such a "wow, this is crazy" way. There were 3 employees in the store. Maybe all owners. And ALL so kind, welcoming and willing to help. If you have ANY jewelry needs, you should definitely check Monson out. I learned afterwards that they reset my sister's wedding ring and she had nothing but great things to say too. And her ring/setting is beautiful. Thank you, Monson! From me and my mom.

After three weeks or so I contacted them inquiring about the repair, I was told the technician was still working on my watch. I finally received my repaired watch, it seemed to be working fine but a month prior to the 12 month warranty expiring the watch stopped working. I contacted Watch Repair USA and spoke with Sandra who was most helpful, I sent the watch back to them for repair. They returned my watch to me in a working condition BUT two month later it stopped working AGAIN. Once more I contacted Sandra who informed me that the repair warranty had expired but if I wanted to send it back for further repairs they would be happy to fix it. I am totally pissed off, after paying $800 I expected my "Repaired" watch to be in good working order for a long time but that was not to be. So I am left with a watch which is not working and will have to pay a further repair bill.

Unfortunately, all of the single star votes are too high for these grifters.

The price seemed high, over $400, but I thought it would be within range if the watch received first class attention. What huge mistake on my part. After over four months (as of this date) not only has the watch not been fixed, they could not confirm that the watch was in their possession. It makes one think that they send all their work out....destination unknown. I was able to contest the payment, but no watch, and no idea if I will ever see it again. Filled out form with Illinois Consumer Affairs, and will do the same with BBB. Thinking about filing a police report. In short, stay away from these idiots, and let us hope that their business suffers a total collapse before more "customers" face a similar fate. All facts stated above can be confirmed by email. This business is pure $hit. Truly.

Do not give them your business…read more I was excited when I purchased a ring here and got some repairs done and experienced great service from Diane. I figured I would give them my business when I needed to get appraisals done on all of my jewelry. That's when my first interaction occurred with the owner Brian. Working in Retail as an executive for 15+ years myself, I'm experience in great, good, mediocre, and abysmal service. When the appraisal for my wedding ring and Rolex came back 30% lower than the appraisals from the place I originally purchased them at, I called to inquire. He spoke to me like I was ignorant and talked in circles about how he did me a favor by low-balling the appraisal. I found him to be incredibly untrustworthy, demeaning, not truthful, and someone I would not encourage giving your hard-earned dollars to. It will spoil a lovey experience like buying jewelry.
