    Battery replacement

    Shocked and appalled. After faithfully using GCW for years despite their high prices, I brought in a Rado watch I've owned for about 30 years. They had just replaced the battery two months prior (see attached image) and, shortly thereafter, it stopped working. They kept it for 2 days, then informed me the battery is good but the watch would need a "complete overhaul" for a cost of $750 (see attached image). I told them I'd think about it and picked up my watch. I decided to get a second opinion. After reading positive reviews about them, I took the watch into Daniele Watchmaker in Greenwich. In literally less than one minute, Daniele came back with a fully functioning watch; the battery had not been installed properly, and simply needed to be re-seated. No charge. Now the watch I've had for so many years is fully functioning. What's troubling is that (1) GCW replaced the battery improperly, then (2) confirmed that the battery was fine, and (3) tried to get me to pay $750 for a complete overhaul. All this for something that Daniele fixed in about 30 seconds. Needless to say, I've seen the last of GCW. And, fortunately, I've found an honest and excellent watch guy in Daniele!

    I had an amazing experience purchasing my first luxury watch at Grand Central Watch. Steve Crystal and the rest of the staff made the process a pleasure. When I needed my watch sized, they kindly invited me into their immaculate workshop, where licensed professionals meticulously repaired various luxury watches--it felt like stepping into a biolab. Overall, I highly recommend Grand Central Watch to anyone looking to purchase or service a watch!

    I've been a customer of Grand Central Watch for 15 years, so when my 1985 Rolex gave up the ghost, I brought it in because of their gold standard repair service. Crystal was so knowledgeable and gave me a range of options. She really went above and beyond. I wound up trading it in for one of their gorgeous vintage Rolexes and Steve even found a face matching my original. Great, personalized service for an heirloom time piece, looks like new! I couldn't be happier. Thanks to Crystal and Steve.

    I had an excellent experience with Sash. He repaired and adjusted my bracelet while I waited, which…read moreI greatly appreciated. His workmanship is highly professional, and he took the time to make all of the adjustments I requested with great care and attention to detail. What impressed me most was his kindness and willingness to fit me into his busy schedule. Not only was the quality of his work outstanding, but his pricing was also much more reasonable than I expected. It's rare to find someone who combines expertise, professionalism, fair pricing, and exceptional customer service. I recommend Sash without hesitation and will gladly return for future jewelry repairs and adjustments.

    I don't normally write negative reviews, but this business definitely needs one, and people need to…read morebe aware. I am a native New Yorker and can spot a PROFESSIONAL CON ARTIST when I see one. SASH is one of them. He's nice on the outside, but he's good at fooling new customers. I gave him the benefit of the doubt based on his reviews and trusted him. NEVER ignore your gut. He is indeed a SCAMMER that has been fooling people for decades. You'll realize that after the great conversation he has with you. They will try to remove this review but I was a real customer. Believe the other reviewers telling you the same. I brought in several pieces of jewelry for repair along with tipping Sash, expecting professional, long-lasting work based on the reviews. Unfortunately, within approximately two months, ALL OF MY JEWLERY BROKE/FELL APART. I was SO disappointed because the purpose of having jewelry repaired is to ensure that it is fixed properly and lasts. The quality of the workmanship is EXTREMELY POOR. He then proceeds to blame his poor workmanship on your jewlery (similar to what others said here). That was NOT the case. My pieces are all genuine and well-made. I've had pieces repaired decades ago that have never split open like this. In my opinion, Sash came across as VERY misleading. He talks and distracts you with conversation. He spoke about family and friends, who seem to be the ones receiving the highest level of care (and the ones writing the good reviews), while new customers receive poor service. He also intentionally adds on additional charges without confirming with the customer, that was fine with me, but at least provide the service you charged for. I am posting this review so that other customers can make an informed decision before spending their money here. If you are looking for reliable jewelry repairs, I would recommend considering the other jewelry repair businesses on the same floor. I went to another guy and he did a fantastic job. I regret spending so much money and hope this review helps other potential customers avoid a similar experience.
