NYC "watchmakers" are more often than not, butchers, who have ZERO appreciation for your watch - especially vintage. Trust me, I know from experience. I wish I could give you a name of a competent, McGuyver-esque NYC watchman, but I can't. And I've been collecting in NYC for 15 years. Let me know when you find him! (or her!).

There's a Russian guy, Mike, in a shoe repair store on 2nd. Ave between 71-72 Streets. He has worked on alot of my watches with mostly good results.

He does reps including chronos which is hard to find. About $200 to service/fix a rep chrono. Tell him Noel sent you. Good luck, at least he

won't screw up your watch crystal/dial. He did once break a Rollie crystal but replaced it.
