Recommended watchmakers in Milwaukee?

twistedlugs

Hey all, does anyone have watchmaker recommendations in the Milwaukee area? I’m gifting my brother some of our grandfather’s vintage watches but he’ll need to get them serviced in Milwaukee. I’ve found two Rolex (and other brand) ADs with watchmaking services but curious if anyone has firsthand experience.

Also in a hilarious twist there’s a hand surgeon in Milwaukee with the last name Watchmaker, so he shows up in most google searches 😂

I'm going through the same thing. My mom has a tiny diamond Bulova from a great aunt that she had serviced by a local jeweler for $150. It works well enough, apparently. I went to a real deal watchmaker with a 50's Swiss watch and it cost about $800 as they wanted to replace some parts showing wear.

If we're talking a clean and lube, I really doubt any great search is needed. Any jeweler that has done that sort of thing should be fine. If being more persnickety or needing real repair work, one might as well ship pieces off somewhere to an entity of known repute.

That's my $.02 that doesn't really answer the question
