Have an older Swiss Army Divers watch that I have had for several years, I used to have an older watch mechanic from the Ennis area that kept it running, he has now retired, recently the watch stopped working, checking the internet Dallas Diamond came up, I sent it to them, they replied with a $330.00 quote to replace the movement, crystal, crown. I talked to the sender, said I only wanted a cleaning and movement lubricated, as I didn't want to have the watch renewed, he answered that they could not guarantee if all the work was not done. also noticed that when they returned watch the crown had been unattached from the movement. I now am trying to find a shop that can do what I WANT (not just what they want). Any ideas in the general area ?[Linked Image]

Good luck, I quit the watch game 10 years ago


call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.

We live in a throw away society.
Many, many things that used to be repaired are now routinely thrown out.
