I'm looking for somewhere in Philly that can do a quick adjustment on the clasp of my 1969 Speedy Moon watch. It will pop open from time to time and I'd like to get the part that "clicks" tightened. I'm sure I can do this myself but I'd rather leave it to the pros.

Anyone have someone they trust in Philadelphia or the area to make such an adjustment?

Thanks in advance!

*headdesk* I'm usually better than this, I swear!

Most of the search results were for Govberg, but they send their watches offsite for repairs and adjustments. I found some others I'll check out. Thanks!

That's news to me. Call and ask for Israel in customer service and see what he says.

Which location? When I went to the Center City Govberg a couple of years ago to inquire about getting the watch repaired (it had been in a desk drawer for a while), they said they would send it to Omega for a servicing, which isn't what I wanted.

If I remember correctly, I believe that Omega servicing is done on the premises at Govberg’s Bala Cynwyd location.

Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!

When I need a job done, I send to an enthusiast who is really knowledgeable called Marc Shvarts who has a new shop in the jewelry district called The Watch Doctor. He can be pretty much guaranteed not to send any watch out, which I believe to be the acid test of a watchmaker.

But he isnt in his shop at the moment and I havent heard from him at all since the CoronaryVirus thing started and I can't tell how much of this is recent: https://www.instagram.com/thewatchdr/?hl=en
