    Anyone have any recommendations for vintage dive and or military watch repair in NYC?

    I've read good things about Central Time in GCT but I also hear they can be pricey...

    Thanks! I'll check them out.

    Just to mention I got a recommendation from another forum: Tiny Geneva on 47th Street

    as someone who occasionally has business in that area, and have been warned before by those in the industries there. Id consider treading carefully. it doesnt have the best of reputations. but do report back with your findings

    Would you be adverse to sending the work to Ohio - I know you said NYC but Andy at Ultra-Vintage does superior repair work on vintage divers and many difficult mil pieces and generally has the parts to back him up in stock. He's done all my divers from the 50s and 60s for the last 5 years and I send from Australia - he's that good, but he is popular with the vintage folk and turn around time is long because he is so good. Just a thought.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'm looking for someone local for cheaper stuff and the kind of place where I can pop in and have a quick once over to know whether it's even worth working on given piece.
