  • *****

    Fixed both my watches so far so good. Time will tell. Lol see what I did there. All joking aside, I would recommend this watch service as it was fast and my watches work better than ever. Although it was expensive I'm sure it would of cost the same or more anywhere else and taken much longer.
    Movado SE and Omega seamaster. Thanks Willis

  • *****

    Wow! Polished the deep scratches out of my watch in 15 minutes. Other places take weeks to do it. Great price too.

  • *****

    I was given an old watch as a gift and it was running slow. I brought it to Willis and he diagnosed the issue right away, explained everything to me clearly and didnt charge me for the service. Very professional and Ill definitely be returning for all my future watch needs.

    The reviews don't lie. Awesome service, very professional and competent, Willis was able to fix both watches I brought in while I waited. Will be back!

  • *****

    Fast and reliable

  • *****

    I am very happy with the results that Willis was able to remove the AR coating on my watch. It wasn't easy and it took him 3 attempts. The last attempt, he has to dissemble the watch to polish. He didn't even want to charge me on his 3rd attempt but I insist pay him as he has spent over 30 mins. The finally result is amazing. I saved hundreds for not needing to replace the sapphire crystal. Thank you, Willis.

  • *****

    Another happy customer here. Brought my Omega Seamaster to Mr. W Workshop for a battery replacement. Nothing but good words - professional service at its best. Will be a returning customer.

    Cheers.

    Dimitri.

    The owner is a very honest and nice guy. I was in the shop this afternoon to change bettery for my watch. After a quick check, he told me the battery is still good, just need more time under light to get charged. He even go further to show me how to download manufacturer manual, cos there will a lot things need to set since the watch has not been used for more than 3 years. I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends.

    The owner works his heart. I will come back for more services. Thank you for your care Mr. W Workshop.

  • *****

    Very professional and very well versed. I hope to do business here soon. I'm looking forward to the great level of experience excersized here. Both in person and on the phone I was treated with the up most care. Many repair places rarely meet up to standard. But this place ia a real gem.

  • *****

    Based on the reviews on this place I decided to give it a try and went to have the glass case of my older Longines watch replaced.
    Not only was the pricing quite reasonable, he also did some additional bonus maintenance cleaning inside, all within an hour.
    Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

  • *****

    Willis cleaned, polished and replaced a battery in my Omega Seamaster. The watch came out looking fantastic. Willis spent extra time and finished the job by the end of the day. He was very professional and I would be happy to use him again. I was very impressed.

  • *****

    Willis, he is friendly and honest with his assessment of and maintenance repairs of my five retro fashion Fossil and Guess watches.He made them run well. I appreciated that he diagnosed and repaired them so quickly!I highly recommend his professional service to watch fashionistas.

  • *****

    Great service. Bought a leather strap, realized didn't fit well after couple of days, Willis exchange for free.

    Stopped in today with a tiny earring that needed a simple repair but they we so small I couldnt see to do it myself.....no problem for Mr. W he fixed it in minutes free of charge!! Thanks again !!

    The owner was very helpful and honest. I had a good experience despite the part I needed was very difficult to obtain. Ill be a repeat customer for sure.

  • *****

    Always very Professional, very Knowledgeable and Reasonably priced

  • *****

    The owner is very helpful and friendly. I went a year or so ago to get my watch repaired and as it turned out, it was only that the last place had installed the wrong battery and installed it incorrectly. The owner replaced it with the correct battery and the watch worked great again. It was a gift to me 17 years ago and I was very happy that it was something so small. Then last month it was acting up again so I took it back. Again, turned out it was just a dead battery; he processed it as a warranty return on the battery even though I couldn't remember for sure how long it had been since I'd been there before. Very kind. I certainly recommend this place over the only other watch place I'd been to in Richmond. I'll be back for sure.

  • *****

    Great service! Quick and easy. Great price. I took my watch to change batteries and Mr W did it right away in 10 mins. Will come back for my other watches. Its actually in Aberdeen Square though, the side where Royal Bank is.

  • *****

    Amazing service, the person who helped me was so kind and went above and beyond the issue I came in with, would recommend this place to people I know.

  • *****

    Expedited service at a great price. Thanks Mr.W

  • *****

    Excellent and very professional work. High quality and transparent advice and will not recommend unnecessary services just to make a buck, trustworthy in watches. Pricing is not the cheapest but is fair and in line with the level of workmanship and service provided.

  • *****

    I've had a Rolex Datejust, Omega Speedmaster, and King Seiko repaired here. Great service and quality.

  • *****

    Willis is a passionate and consummate practitioner. His experience, knowledge and expertise in his craft rival master watchmakers. It was my privilege to have my timepieces serviced by a true professional who values honesty and fairness.

  • *****

    Willis services and repaired my omega constellation and was extremely professional and thorough, offering great advice and fair pricing. Is the end my watch looked brand new and still runs perfectly.

    Ive dropped off another watch since - and he made the effort to meet me outside of regular hours. Do not hesitate to call Mr. W for any and all watch related items.

  • *****

    The guy is really nice. Knowledgeable and trustworthy. Instead of just going ahead and repairing an old devalued watch of mine, he recommended me to keep it that way. I saved some money, he didn't earn any from me, but earned a loyal customer.

  • *****

    Willis is an amazing watch specialist. I brought in a watch with a glass crack and he fixed it very fast with a new and higher quality glass.

    Also, his price is definitely worth it! I recommend anyone who needs there watch service or repaired by Willis.

    (Translated by Google) The watch repairer is superb!

    (Original)

  • *****

    I went in with two watches; I needed one authenticated and another refinished. He authenticated the first one and provided pictures of the interior of the watch and highlighted some things he'd look for that made him confident. He obviously knew his craft well and was very helpful. The second watch looked like new after the refinishing work was complete. I'm coming back when my watches need servicing.

  • *****

    Quick turn around time, Reasonable price, professional. Great communication.

  • *****

    Owner/technician is a professional & genuine .

  • *****

    Mr. W , Willis I would say is the best jewelry repair man I have ever done business with! He is professional, very knowledgeable in his field and gave me recommendations and options on my jewelries that I brought in for repair. His work is very impressive and I am very very happy with my jewelries after repair. Better than new! His pricing is really good as well compared to other reair shops and I am a progressive customer. If youre deciding on where to go, dont think twice and see Mr. W. !!!

  • *****

    Mr. W is the watchmaker you need to go to in Richmond. Quick, reliable, and professional service. I brought in my Omega Seamaster 2561.80 for authentication and sizing. The service was fast and at a good price, but Mr. W went above and beyond my expectations. At no extra charge, he provided a battery change and also polished off some scratches on the clasp. It was also great to chat with him about watches while waiting.

    If you live in Richmond, there is no need to go into downtown anymore since we have one of the best watchmakers here already.

  • *****

    I came in last minute with a watch that needed a battery and sizing. Additionally, it needed mistakes made by the previous watchmaker. i received a quick overview of what he could do, for a fair price and right away it was all taken care of. The service was friendly, enjoyable, and not to mention he also polished my case back (scratches from previous attempts to open) which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend

  • *****

    Fast and clean

  • *****

    Quick, concise, and quality workmanship. Would come here again for watch repairs, big or small!

  • *****

    This is by far the best in the business. For watch repair, battery replacement I will not go to any other but only this one. Willis the owner is so knowledgeable that watches I bought to him for inspection he could always tell what has been done previously or even how many times have been fixed. Because of COVID, it is best to call before visiting the shop.

  • *****

    Very quick and efficient when replacing my watch batteries and even helped to buff out a scratch on the crystal.

  • *****

    Great service. Resized our watch!

  • *****

    Willis repaired my broken HEUER Aquaracer Calibre 5 300m precisely in a timely manner. And he also recovered the time as well as water proof. I would highly recommend his service for you and your precious watch in Richmond.

  • *****

    Quick battery repair at a fair price. Great customer service. Very impressed with this business.

  • *****

    Very honest. Would definitely come back

  • *****

    I fixed my watches here today and the technician took his name to explained to me about my Seiko movement. He had ordered the bezel for me and advised me that if it won't fit; he will not charge me. It is a challenge to find a local store that cares about their customers and I highly recommend this store to anyone who loves watches. While I was there I saw an gentleman dropped off a Richard Mille and Hublot for service. Thank you to the technician who serviced my watch and will see you soon when the bezel arrive.

  • *****

    Went in to bring my watch to get repaired because the link was bent, they helped me fix it on the spot and it was good value as well. Didn't think they would do a small job like mine but they still did it anyways and I did not want to do it myself at home in case I broke something

  • *****

    Willis is outstanding. Watch needed battery replacement. Called everywhere and got outrageous quotes.

    Willis gave an amazing price and even polished up my watch. The job was complete in less than 10 minutes. We even had an extremely hard time getting my watch open.

    This man is amazing at what he does. 10/10.

  • *****

    Been a few times now and every issue I've had with my watches; he's been able to fix them perfectly. Would definitely recommend

  • *****

    One word to describe: Excellent!

  • *****

    Such a nice guy, very experienced and wise, suggestion for new customers, better call before you come, sometime he is not in the store

  • *****

    I changed 4 batteries for the 4 watches last year 2020, one of them stopped working within a year. I took it and he changed it right away even giving me another year of warranty. Great service and quality.

  • *****

    I had a Tiffany & Co 14k gold bangle that was fixed up all nicely.

    I went to Mr.W because Tiffany & Co declined to fill in the dent in my bangle and would only want to replace almost the entire bangle which would have costed $1200 (bangle retail value $1600).

    Mr.W and his jewelry master took extra time to fill in the dent with gold on my bangle and polish and smooth it out many times such that the dent was almost no longer visible. All fixed under $200.

  • *****

    My watch broke and it was less than a year since I bought it from the manufacturer. It was still under the warranty but it broke after I attempted to change the battery. In order for me to get it fixed, I would need to pay $25 USD and ship it over to the States where they will assess the repair and determine if it's covered under warranty. This did not give me peace of mind. While Googling a watch repair shop, I came across Mr. W Workshop. Willis' honesty and willingness to help without even talking about price first gave me the peace of mind that their business focuses on people first. He took the time to explain possible scenarios and was even willing to help before accepting any form of payment or commitment on my end. His expertise and experience show in his work and services. I am so glad that I was able to get my watch fixed swiftly. Cost wise was very reasonable too. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend you inquire about his services.

  • *****

    Highly recommended. Willis Wong is a master at what he does, made my weekend beater watch work and look like new again. I'll be taking my more complex automatic watches to him from now on. Great service and reasonable prices!

  • *****

    Willis fixed two watches for me today, fixing a broken bracelet pin for one watch and regulated, oiled up another watch for $56 total, which I think is fair pricing. He fixed both watches immediately and took no longer than 20 minutes to fix both watches, even testing one watch on the time grapher. I appreciate his quick, honest, and direct approach. When I asked to service one of the watches, he advised me to save my money while explaining why it wasnt necessary. I really like that he was upfront and practical and not trying to just cash grab. Will be a returning customer in the future.

  • *****

    Can be a little hard to find this place but when you enter this store, you know that this guy takes his business seriously. He s got all the equipment needed and he s passionate about your watch. I appreciate that he answers the phone within the 1st 3 rings. He knows and values business.

    So I am new to the area and had a wide gold link bracelet that came apart in several places. Its always nerve-wracking to trust your loved possessions to an unknown. However Mr. Wong went above and beyond. I waited to do this review as I have had the same bracelet 'fixed' only to have it come apart within days. My bracelet is 100 times better than how I left with him. Mr. Wong is dedicated and polite with his service. I would definitely come back. Thank you Mr. Wong (from Marcia and James from Virginia)

Willis' honesty and willingness to help without even talking about price first gave me the peace of mind that their business focuses on people first. He took the time to explain possible scenarios and was even willing to help before accepting any form of payment or commitment on my end. His expertise and experience show in his work and services. I am so glad that I was able to get my watch fixed swiftly. Cost wise was very reasonable too. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend you inquire about his services.

    I had a Tiffany & Co 14k gold bangle that was fixed up all nicely.

    I went to Mr.W because Tiffany & Co declined to fill in the dent in my bangle and would only want to replace almost the entire bangle which would have costed $1200 (bangle retail value $1600).

    Mr.W and his jewelry master took extra time to fill in the dent with gold on my bangle and polish and smooth it out many times such that the dent was almost no longer visible. All fixed under $200.

    I changed 4 batteries for the 4 watches last year 2020, one of them stopped working within a year. I took it and he changed it right away even giving me another year of warranty. Great service and quality.

    Willis is outstanding. Watch needed battery replacement. Called everywhere and got outrageous quotes.

    Willis gave an amazing price and even polished up my watch. The job was complete in less than 10 minutes. We even had an extremely hard time getting my watch open.

    This man is amazing at what he does. 10/10.

  • *****

    Went in to bring my watch to get repaired because the link was bent, they helped me fix it on the spot and it was good value as well. Didn't think they would do a small job like mine but they still did it anyways and I did not want to do it myself at home in case I broke something

  • *****

    I recently visited this shop after reading all the positive reviews and met Will for a small but tricky strap change job. Will did a great job but next day i noticed a minor issue and took it back to him. He gave it his immediate attention and tried to fix it but then decided to replace a part of the strap with another new one as he himself was not feeling satisfied. Hard to find someone like that these days. He seems to be really after quality work and take good pride in his work. Such a pleasure to work with him. Will highly recommend him.

    There are very few watch repair shops left anywhere near Richmond. So when I came across a watch bracelet that was giving me a problem, I was glad to find this shop. I went in during the afternoon and the fellow working there was able to help me immediately. I explained the problem I was having, which was that the bracelet had a very unusual type of friction pin and they couldn't be removed to resize the bracelet.

    He took the watch and the bracelet and was able to try using some of his tools, however the bracelet seemed to have a problem which even his tools could not fix. We talked about some options, and I was on my way. So, even though my bracelet could not be fixed here, I really appreciated the time he took to look at it and try to fix it for me. He did not charge me for any of his time and I would definitely go back in the future for any of my other watches. I am giving a 5-star rating as the service was perfect and I would expect it would be just as good on any other visit.

  • *****

    Excellent service at a reasonable price.

  • *****

    A+ service and price!

    Willis , the owner and only employee, was kind, fast, and charges less than 1/2 what the Bay charges. I learned after talking to him that he used to work at the bay himself, until he decided to start his own store.
    I suggest you call in advance to make sure he is there, and if you need help getting to the store. It is in Aberdeen Square, on the 3rd floor.

    I know I will go to him again if I ever need anything done for my watches.

  • *****

    Extremely fast, quality service at a reasonable price. Needed a battery replacement for my Skagen. I was checking out the adorable I-phone cases & accessories, next minute he's done~ professionally handled. Highly recommend!!

    I brought in an automatic watch that had issues with the miyota movement. Willis repaired it with no issues in a quick amount of time. During the repair he also serviced it and polished out the scuffs at no charge. My watch looks good again!
    Price was fair for the amount of work needed. Thanks again.

  • *****

    Willis runs the shop here, and he is very professional and efficient. Took my old Oris watch to have it fixed, he got me a very reasonable quote and even helped me with some after repairs touch up. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone, and there's ample parking too!

    Will was extremely helpful. Fixed my watch in 2 days. Would definitely recommend!

    After reading all review on here, I decided to bring my Choppard watch to Mr. W Workshop for battery change, cleaning and change the surface of the watch due to the scratch. Kind of disappointed at first because he said it might brake the second layer glass if he try to pop the 1 need replace, and ask me to come back next day, before I left he told me the price and everything, after 2 hours he call me and tell me my watch is done, I can come to pick it up any time, thats surprise me, and next day when I came to pick up my watch he surprised me again, he done a really good job, replace the glass, clean inside repair some crystal for me, my watch look like brand new. Im soo happy with my watch now, from now on I will always come to here for all of my watch service. You done a great job mr. w workshop, Thank You. Oh and he also he charge me less then beginning because he said the service done quite fast soo he charge me less. Soo Nice :)

After a quick check, he told me the battery is still good, just need more time under light to get charged. He even go further to show me how to download manufacturer manual, cos there will a lot things need to set since the watch has not been used for more than 3 years.

    Very professional and very well versed. I hope to do business here soon. I'm looking forward to the great level of experience excersized here. Both in person and on the phone I was treated with the up most care. Many repair places rarely meet up to standard. But this place ia a real gem.

  • *****

    Based on the reviews on this place I decided to give it a try and went to have the glass case of my older Longines watch replaced.
    Not only was the pricing quite reasonable, he also did some additional bonus maintenance cleaning inside, all within an hour.
    Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

  • *****

    Willis cleaned, polished and replaced a battery in my Omega Seamaster. The watch came out looking fantastic. Willis spent extra time and finished the job by the end of the day. He was very professional and I would be happy to use him again. I was very impressed.

    Great service. Bought a leather strap, realized didn't fit well after couple of days, Willis exchange for free.

  • *****

    I was looking for a good place to assess and possibly fix my watch. I read the good reviews on google and decided to take it to Mr. W Workshop. The place was a bit hard for me to find as I didnt know about Aberdeen Centre as separate from Aberdeen. I found the layout of the mall a little confusing.

    But unfortunately when I did finally find it the store was closed. The owner left a notice on the door. Later found out he was on business trip.

    I recommend phoning before you go.

    I decided to be patient and wait for his return and phoned the second time. He was apologetic for the closure and very accommodating.

    When I took it in he first assessed my watch and took the time to thoroughly inform me what the problem was. He determined that the problem was more drastic than first appeared. I could see he knows his watches by the process.

    After assessing the problem and giving me the price quote to fix it he didnt pressure me to fix it immediately. He didnt even expect any payment for his initial appraisal. He gave me time to think about whether I wanted to fix it or not.

    After deciding to have him fix it he gave me an estimate of the time it would take to fix and always updated me with photos of what he was doing. He never did anything without my permission. I value that.

    I got the watch faster than promised as well. I got a whole new replacement of the internal gears. I also got a new glass, as the old one was scratched, and a new battery.

    He also gave me a one year warranty on his work.

    I recommend Mr W Workshop. Worth my patience.

  • *****

    Stopped in today with a tiny earring that needed a simple repair but they we so small I couldnt see to do it myself.....no problem for Mr. W he fixed it in minutes free of charge!! Thanks again !!

  • *****

    The owner was very helpful and honest. I had a good experience despite the part I needed was very difficult to obtain. Ill be a repeat customer for sure.

  • *****

    Always very Professional, very Knowledgeable and Reasonably priced

  • *****

    The owner is very helpful and friendly. I went a year or so ago to get my watch repaired and as it turned out, it was only that the last place had installed the wrong battery and installed it incorrectly. The owner replaced it with the correct battery and the watch worked great again. It was a gift to me 17 years ago and I was very happy that it was something so small. Then last month it was acting up again so I took it back. Again, turned out it was just a dead battery; he processed it as a warranty return on the battery even though I couldn't remember for sure how long it had been since I'd been there before. Very kind. I certainly recommend this place over the only other watch place I'd been to in Richmond. I'll be back for sure.

  • *****

    Great service! Quick and easy. Great price. I took my watch to change batteries and Mr W did it right away in 10 mins. Will come back for my other watches. Its actually in Aberdeen Square though, the side where Royal Bank is.

If youre deciding on where to go, dont think twice and see Mr. W. !!!

    Mr. W is the watchmaker you need to go to in Richmond. Quick, reliable, and professional service. I brought in my Omega Seamaster 2561.80 for authentication and sizing. The service was fast and at a good price, but Mr. W went above and beyond my expectations. At no extra charge, he provided a battery change and also polished off some scratches on the clasp. It was also great to chat with him about watches while waiting.

    If you live in Richmond, there is no need to go into downtown anymore since we have one of the best watchmakers here already.

  • *****

    I came in last minute with a watch that needed a battery and sizing. Additionally, it needed mistakes made by the previous watchmaker. i received a quick overview of what he could do, for a fair price and right away it was all taken care of.

Because of COVID, it is best to call before visiting the shop.

    I am pleased to be providing a strong recommendation for Mr. W Workshop.

    I brought in three original , Swiss movement watches to Willis: A Baume & Mercier; A Philip Stein; A Sturhling. These are watches that I have bought over time that each required different items of work.

    I had each of them fully cleaned and polished. I had a an alligator black leather strap replaced and a movement replaced. In addition, he replaced the batteries on all three as they were quartz.

    Willis was able to essentially return the Buame & Mercier and Sthurling to nearly new condition and the Philip Stein very close to looking new.

    He is attentive, honest and will give you the truth about whether it’s worth doing certain aspects of work.

    You can trust your investment with Willis and I highly recommend you contact him and have a conversation about your time pieces.

    Thanks, Willis - Geoff.

    I took my broken chain here to be fixed and had some issues initially with how I wanted it repaired. The guy was really professional and communicated very well throughout the process. I was happy with the final result but was more impressed with their commitment to their customer service and making sure the client is satisfied. I will use these guys again in the future if needed.

    I'm very happy that I chose this place to have the battery in my watch replaced. $15 + tax. The owner was very friendly, and did the job within 10 minutes of my arrival - my watch showed the correct time and date when the job was done. I was also given a written 1-year guarantee for the battery.

    Very professional and very well versed. I hope to do business here soon. I'm looking forward to the great level of experience excersized here. Both in person and on the phone I was treated with the up most care. Many repair places rarely meet up to standard. But this place ia a real gem.

  • *****

    The owner works his heart. I will come back for more services. Thank you for your care Mr. W Workshop.

    The owner works with his heart. Very well service. I will come back for more services.
    Remember, when approaching to the block 4000 No. 3 Road, drive in / turn in to the Arberdeen Square parking lot (NOT THE MALL which is on the Cambie).
    If you end up in the Mall underground parking lot, please get out & going up to the ground parking. It is much easier going to the square.
    The unit 3085 is on the 3rd floor. Good luck.

    I had a scratched up hardlex crystal on my Seiko divers watch that I wanted replaced with a sapphire one instead. I haven't even enjoyed wearing this watch over the last few years because of it. The problem with replacing it with another hardlex is I know I'll have it scratched all over again within a month. The original one was domed and only a flat sapphire one that was 1 mm thinner could be ordered. I went with it and Willis did a perfect job. The non-domed crystal looks and feels completely natural. He even disassembled and went over every single part! The necessary ones were cleaned/lubricated along with all gaskets replaced and a waterproofing test performed. All handed back to me with the correct time and date adjusted. More than reasonable prices and very detail oriented. Trust your watches with Willis!

  • *****

    Excellent and quick service for better replacement. Willis is very friendly and has great pricing!! I will be coming back here again.

  • *****

    I highly recommend this place. A little difficult to find as another reviewer said, but Willis does excellent work for a fair price. He repaired my watch, and I broke it again not soon after. I brought it back. He took it and proceeded to tinker with it at his desk for about half an hour. Gave me the watch back as good as new. As I brought out my wallet to pay, he said "don't worry about it."

    Classy guy. Thanks Willis. It's personable things like this that make me an automatic customer for life. I will be back.

  • *****

    Love this small shop in Richmond to fix the problem of my watch. Willis is friendly and professional. Highly recommend YOU to use his services relating to watch repair, watch battery replacement etc.

  • *****

    Top watch guy in Richmond. Couldn't get anyone to restored my father's rolex and omega except for you! Great job

  • *****

    Willis runs the shop here, and he is very professional and efficient. Took my old Oris watch to have it fixed, he got me a very reasonable quote and even helped me with some after repairs touch up. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone, and there's ample parking too!

  • *****

    Willis is an experienced watch repair technician that's been in the business for many years. The price is very fair, and the workmanship is excellent. He even offers 1 yr warranty for the repairs he did for my automatic watch. If you are to go, go on weekdays as parking is ample.

  • *****

    I brought in an automatic watch that had issues with the miyota movement. Willis repaired it with no issues in a quick amount of time. During the repair he also serviced it and polished out the scuffs at no charge. My watch looks good again!
    Price was fair for the amount of work needed. Thanks again.

  • *****

    Excellent service at a reasonable price.

  • *****

    A+ service and price!

    Willis , the owner and only employee, was kind, fast, and charges less than 1/2 what the Bay charges. I learned after talking to him that he used to work at the bay himself, until he decided to start his own store.
    I suggest you call in advance to make sure he is there, and if you need help getting to the store. It is in Aberdeen Square, on the 3rd floor.

    I know I will go to him again if I ever need anything done for my watches.

    There are very few watch repair shops left anywhere near Richmond. So when I came across a watch bracelet that was giving me a problem, I was glad to find this shop. I went in during the afternoon and the fellow working there was able to help me immediately. I explained the problem I was having, which was that the bracelet had a very unusual type of friction pin and they couldn't be removed to resize the bracelet.

    He took the watch and the bracelet and was able to try using some of his tools, however the bracelet seemed to have a problem which even his tools could not fix. We talked about some options, and I was on my way. So, even though my bracelet could not be fixed here, I really appreciated the time he took to look at it and try to fix it for me. He did not charge me for any of his time and I would definitely go back in the future for any of my other watches. I am giving a 5-star rating as the service was perfect and I would expect it would be just as good on any other visit.

  • *****

    Service is good. I had 5 watch batteries changed while I wait. Mr. W is very competent to fix even premium/expensive watches. Price is reasonable. He did extra work like lubricating the O-rings before re-securing the watch back. One thing to note. Please call him before going. He is not always at the shop.

  • *****

    was trying to find somewhere to do some seiko mods. only seen reviews for battery changes for Mr.W. I was in the area one day and came in to check out his shop. It seems as though Mr.W can definitely service automatic watches as he studied abroad for watch making.

    I got a few things done here the following month. He resized a Seiko SARB for me. Retrofitted a different Seiko dial on my SKX. And replaced the factory crystal with a domed sapphire crystal on my SKX, Turtle, and Orient Ray. He also helped tighten what seemed to be a loose rotor on my german Junkers ETA movement dress watch.

    He did all of this in a timely fashion and at good price. Looking forward to bringing more mods for him. New bezels and ceramic bezel inserts are inbound in the mail :)
