^^^ Yep thats why I stopped using George. He will fix your watch but he will also mark it. LOL
Bangs the watch around flicking bracelet. Nothing soft to lean watch against but metal and glass. Had scuffs on bezel and bracelet. Dirt on dial and hands. Repairs and servicing may be good but the above a concerns. This is even after i said it a new watch please dont sratch
I would avoid george yoon 250 pitt st if you care for your watch and dont want it coming back with scuffs and marks.
Open to other suggestions please.
I think everyone is having varied mileage. I mean, we have such limited options and to have someone willing to service our watches is great.
As I noted in my previous notes;
JLC NSD - dead after a week of wear. $80 service and running superb. No scuffs nothing. It is 4 screws to open the case back and away you.
2nd time,
PAM111 which was running 15 secs per hour fast. Took it to get it serviced and was returned to me running PERFECT but around 3-4 scratches in the case.
Overall, my impression is that he does the job well enough but if you have a watch with an unusual mechanism or securing caseback then he will have to improvise. Though, he perhaps could have used a sticky ball.
All in all, I would still take basic servicing jobs for watches that are straighforward. We can hardly be picky, if you ask me. I don't have many more reps left (1 + 2 frankens) but will keep him as an option.
There are other watchmakers in that building but unsure if rep friendly (not likely).
