"My Grandmother's gold Elgin pocket watch has been in the family since it was purchased new in 1877. Over the years litte attention has been paid to its operating condition, just a little light cleaning of the case once in a while.
I thought it would be nice to get it back into its original operating condition and Watch Repairs seemed to be the most highly recommended company to entrust it to.
The recommendations were right. From providing a free shipping label to send the watch, to providing email updates for every step taken, I was never in doubt as to what was being done at any one time and that the watch was being handled with the care it deserved.
When the watch was returned, I couldn't have been more pleased. Although the watch is 142 years old, it has been cleaned and polished and now looks like it must have looked the day it left the factory.
As important as the way it looks, it also operates like a new watch should. The timing adjustment is as close to perfect as can be expected. I now have a new watch that hopefully will last another 100+ years for several more generations to enjoy."
