Here's my $20 lesson: If you see so many poor reviews, why do you think your experience is going to…read morebe any different? Went in around lunchtime to replace the battery of my The Citizen quartz. Me: "how much does it cost to replace the battery?" Owner: "$20, see you in half an hour" 30 minutes later... Owner: "watch is still not ready, by the way, how much did you pay for it?" After learning the price, the owner "jokingly" said he should've jacked up the price of the battery replacement. Another 15 minutes later, owner brought the watch out and murmured "how much should I charge for this repair" then told me it's going to cost $30 because, wait for it, he had to put the band back on, $20 for the battery, $10 to put the band back on........ Obviously, I disagreed and refused to pay $30. Then the owner started forcefully taking the watch away from me and said "give me the watch, I'll take the battery and band out". I again refused, five minutes later, the owner conceded and accepted $20, but not before telling me (no less than five times) to NEVER COME BACK TO HIS STORE, HE DOESN'T DEAL WITH PEASANTS (I found this part a little ironic, but anyway). A quick Google search will show you dozens of capable watchmakers with 4 to 5 star ratings in the Melbourne CBD. Please support those businesses who treat customers with respect.

Myself and watches have a long and rather unfortunate checkered past…read more I mean I love wearing a watch, and I am rarely seen without one, but issues of dead batteries, crown threads and clamp damage seem to have continued throughout the watch wearing. It is therefore, that this store has been my go to when I experience watch based issues. Unlike 99% of any watch repair shop that you will find in the city and a surrounding 12 kilometer radius, the watch maker here is actually in store all the time. Not, as most others seem to have it, gone for two days or on a extravagant extended 2-4 hour lunch break. I find it odd that in prime-time for watches needing to be repaired, think the corporate lunch break zone of 12-2pm, most of the watchmakers are off gallivanting somewhere else, thereby making themselves unavailable. The great thing about this place is reliability, good service, and a log of all and every repair kept in records. It is also very popular and busy. little wonder why. You can count on them.
