Hello All, I have three vintage Seikos and the correct Seiko crystals. Alaska is a state without a watchmaker. My ETA guy won't do it, and my two other watchmakers will charge me an arm and a leg and take months. Can anybody recommend the right guy for the job? I am going to have to ship them somewhere. Starting to learn how to do it myself, but I need more practice before I work on any watches I am attached to. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

You might contact Burdeen’s Jewlers in Buffalo Grove Illinois if you can’t find a West Coast shop.

Thanks Larry. Flat rate small box is the same price anywhere. I'll give them a shot. A recommendation is what I needed. I hate to send stuff off anywhere without a bit of foreknowledge.

They do have a great reputation. Thanks for the tip. Hoping for a quick turnaround. Two are Christmas gifts that I took back to get a new crystal. My go to guy is pretty backed up right now. Really appreciate your chiming in.
