Rogers Fine Timepieces

I can’t speak to their repair work, but I went in to have a pocket watch appraised. The owner was a bit of a curmudgeon at first, but if you’re not put off by that, he warms up after a few minutes. Don’t expect free appraisals; expect him to thoroughly examine what you bring in, to watch him write down what he determines on an index card, and to pay him a reasonable rate for his expertise.

Watch had a problem. He fixed it. About as simple as it gets.
Nice dude, I’d go back anytime and the old watches in the display case are fascinating,

This is the place to go if you’ve had trouble finding someone to repair your vintage pocket watch on the eastside. He also repairs the current models and does battery changes while you wait.

I brought my pocket watch into Rogers as he seemed to be the best around. The spring was broken on it. He was able to fix the spring and clean the watch, which was not cheap — $ 235. But in doing so he created a new problem so that the watch is unusable now.
The small lever that is pulled out in order to move the hands is now loose and it stops the hands from moving. They get frozen in place and I have to take the front off and unjam them. I had had the watch for 36 years and this was never, ever a problem — ever. He told me the watch was warranted for a year after his repair but he REFUSED to address the problem. And he was so MEAN about it. So now I have a watch that doesn’t work and I will have to pay someone else to fix his mistake.
I understand that old watches are have issued. But why say it is warranted if he is going to break it and then not honor his word?
