There’s a good number in the atl area. Womble watch up in Marietta seem to have a good reputation. There’s also an independent guy up in Roswell called atltime watch repair.

I’ve heard of Womble, and he’s actually pretty close by… by all accounts he seems to a skilled a watchmaker (I believe he does contract work for several jewelers/watch dealers), but I’ve also heard his communication/transparency with regards to pricing and actually breakdown of service work is lacking…I went there to resize a bracelet and was charged over $20 for less than 5min of work…never again

Interesting. I know in buckhead there’s Swiss watch expo and a few others. Look into atltime. I reached out last year on a service for my Rolex with a 3000 movement and it was gonna be like $500.
@deathonthestairs $500???? 🤯🤯🤯 I paid around $800 to Central Watch on servicing my previous 14270…BEFORE the pandemic! I can’t imagine what they charge now post hyper-inflation.

Now I don’t know how it would have been bc I sold the watch BUT he seems to have good reviews on his repairs.

Wow exactly one year ago. That’s wild.

Hey! I wanted let you know I tried this guy out on my Tag Heuer Carrera re-edition. Chronograph movement so I expected it some sticker shock to say the least… If you’re interested I’ll tell you in private what he charged but it wasn’t as high as I expected when I count for inflation from the last time I had it serviced. Price aside, the end result was a 9.5 out of 10. Winding is incredibly crisp, keeping time pretty darn good, polished that ugly scratch out of the pexi-crystal. Also turn-around was incredibly quick (little over a month). Other than gaskets and seals, he only replaces parts as needed which could be why his prices are lower than most. Overall I’m pretty pleased
