Watch battery replacement?

Do we have a watch store in the 'hood that can replace a battery for me?

7th Avenue Jewels on 7th Avenue and 8th Street did a fine job of replacing my watch battery. I also have an automatic there for repair, I'll report back on how that goes in case anyone has an old watch laying around they have been meaning to get fixed.

Yes please do Drano. I have a vintage Omega automatic that just up and stolpped one day that I'd like to get fixed. Do you recall the name of the store?

I got mine done at a jewelry store across the street from the Key Foods at Sterling (up 5th a couple of doors on the left, might be called Paradise?) Also $5.

An update.

I took my watch to the location above to get fixed and it still didn't work correctly, so I took it back after a few days. The proprietor gave it another go with no hassle and it has been keeping perfect time for three weeks now - I believe they have a 90 guarantee on repair work.

Additionally, he had the band polished to make up for the trouble.
