    Need an honest watch repairman

    I have an old Omega Seamaster automatic watch from the late 1960's that needs the crown replaced.
    The guy I've been using for years is getting out of the watch business and I need a HONEST watchmaker that can do the job properly.

    Ask him for a reference.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    Omega greatly reduced distribution of OEM parts a few years ago to fight counterfeiting, making it hard to find a guy that can get parts.

    I believe that I last used Nesbit’s in Seattle to service my sea master.

    I use Claudio’s in Waxhaw NC for Rolex, he didn’t have Omega OEM parts when I needed the work.

    Thanks.

    I don't need a restoration, just a new crown.

    I called these places because I have 2 watches that need fixed.
    At Sands Point you need to send it there for an estimate and Espirages basically changes batteries.

    Banger Jim can I have you do the same for me?

    AHHHHHH, you're right - Port WASHINGTON. There is a Port Jefferson farther east on the north shore and that's what I was thinking about but Sands Point Shop is in Port Washington.
