Hi all, I've seen it mentioned a few times here that many users of the forums hail from New Jersey/South Jersey, as I do. I've done some searches and seen a name or two of watchmakers based here, but those posts are all years old, so I'm not quite sure if those people are still active.

I don't have any business for anyone at the moment, but my watch goal this year is to take the plunge with a vintage Speedy, and I'm just trying to think ahead with regards to where I might take such a piece for servicing if it gets that far.

Thanks!

 

Have you reached out to the recommended watchmakers to see if they're still active?

 

Not yet - the one that kept getting mentioned (don't want to name names) hasn't posted here in years, and the thought of reaching out without a watch in hand felt a little weird to me for some reason.

 

I don't think it would hurt to call and see if they're still open for business.

 

There are a few members from Philly on here...maybe reach out to them for suggestions?
