the battery in my fancy watch is wearing down...any suggestions for where i can get it replaced? this watch has a particularly small battery so i need a place that stocks different sizes. thanks!

Try the jewelry shop on the corner of 8th street and 7th Avenue. That's where I go. I forget the name of it but you can't miss it.

Shop next to Connecticut Muffin on 7th Av.

I've been to the guy on 8th St & 7 Av before. He seems perfectly fine.

The guy at 8th Street and 7th Avenue is not "perfectly fine". Shortly after he opened the store I brought in a Longines self-winding watch my father had given me decades earlier for a minor repair.

When I returned to pick up the watch I discovered that he had pried two of the numbers off from the face! When I complained, he said that "his brother needed them for another customer's watch" and that he would make me new numbers. He did, and they look dreadful... as if they were hand-made imitations of machine-made numbers, which is exactly what they are. I haven't worn the watch since.

I should have sued him... and now I wish I had. Under no circumstances would I bring him anything of value.

The guy on 7th and 8th changed the battery in my Tag and it has not worked correctly since. Try some where else.

Been going to the guy on 7th Avenue and 8th Street since way back when he had his tiny little shop right next to the subway entrance-he has done tons of work for me including re-setting my engagement ring and other things similiar-never had a problem with him.
