    Is there a list somewhere on the site with recommended watchmakers?

    I need to get the acrylic crystal on my Omega SM300 replaced and a few nicks in the case touched up. Al built it for me and I have an e-mail into him, but last time I checked with him, he was really backlogged. Looking for other options if that's still the case.

    Thanks,

    Roger

    I would be interested in knowing a few trusted US watchmakers as well.

    Tried that and it brings up every thread where "watchmaker" was mentioned so not a great search result.

    Yea I definitely wouldn't recommend doing a site search for it as there are also several that have fallen from grace since the time they were widely used and doing good work.

    That may be a good project for someone not named efauser.

    I'd like to recommend my company's watchmakers. We're New York based and have decades worth of experience in the industry. Our turnaround times are generally less than a week or two. Price should be relatively cheap too for what you're looking to do. Here's our link with some more info if you'd like! https://waldanwatches.com/waldan-service-department/

    Hey Al - did you get my e-mail? Trying to weigh the costs for shipping it to you for a crystal replacement vs doing this in the States.
