Any recommendations for watchsmiths located in the USA for repairs/service, specifically for Panerai? I’m located in east coast USA.

I believe strodda has been having a multitude of complaints including not returning watches. Read up before sending anything.

Strodda may not be fast, but always comes through~in my case exceeding expectations over the course of many years/coveted reps and gens.

"Not returning watches" is undoubtedly a fallacy~hyperbole from impatient first time clients not accustomed to Strodda's timetable and communication.

You’re a little behind the times bud.

He's no longer trusted on RWI because he can't be trusted to return people's watches.

That's completely ridiculous / untrue ghostrider, all due respect. In fact last week I just sent three watches to Strodda, highly recommend--he's never kept a customer's watch. I asked him about this and he confirmed the incident when this was alleged the watch in question was lost in the quagmire of the USPost Office tracking system for a few months--was located, watch serviced and returned to customer.
Strodda can elaborate if so inclined to rehash this hyperbole
cheers,
