Watchsmiths/watch repair in the DFW area?

Recommended Posts

Looking for a local watchsmith in Dallas/Fort Worth to get my rep watch  serviced as well as upgraded (pearl, lume, bezel etc). Any  good referral for me visit?

Thanks,

Hoping someone has an answer - new to this game and I really hope to not need a watchsmith anytime soon, but if there is a reference out there, would like to hear it.  

Anyone have advice on asking a local if he will work on a Rep?  I would like to think it is simple as calling and simply advising "I bought a _____ Rep, need service, will you handle?"

Check out the trusted dealer list, there’s a US based repair guy listed.

as for local guys, yeah I kinda think it’s that simple, just ask... I’d probably ask with a little more detail though, maybe “I’ve got a watch with an Asian 2836 (or whatever) any chance you could take a look please” 

lest face it, in these trying pandemic times most are just glad to be working. 
 

best of luck and let us know how you get on

Thanks PickledBeetRoot.  I reached out to Katt who got back to me really quick and answered my questions.  My first Rep is on order - hopefully I will not need to send it to a smith anytime soon but now I know where I can go  if it needs a tweak or something.  I read all the Newbie stuff and paid particular attention to the posts about adjusting expectations so if it arrives shiny and near perfect I will be happy, and if it needs a small nudge in the right direction, I know where to go to make it make me happy.
