First, I want to say "thank you". I have an older solid gold watch; it is more of a jewelry watch…read morethan a high end time piece. I brought it to the local major fine jewelry store that usually services my watches for a routine battery change. They informed me that the watch was not working and would need a new mechanism. That being said, I have a long relationship with the jewelry store and completely trust them... they have always done great work. But, before having them replace the mechanism, I brought the watch to Randy of Specialty Watch Repair. He spent about an hour with the watch. When he returned, the watch was back in working order. He informed me that a spring had popped out and that he had replaced it. I don't even want to say how little he charged as his place would be too full. All I will say is that Randy is honest, generous, and competent. My lesson was that a jewelry store, no matter how great, is a jewelry store. A watch is not really jewelry. Thank you Randy for the kind and amazing work.

I've been here several times the past few years, and I've always had great, speedy service! Saif,…read morethe owner of this place, always does a great job, and his prices are very competitive. The last time I was there, I brought 2 watches for him to take a look at. One was to replace a battery, which he did less than a few minute. He had marked inside the watch casing of when I was there last, which was a couple years ago, and stated that if the battery dies under a certain amount of time, I can come back and he will replace it for free. The 2nd watch was to replace my fossil watch leather straps which has these special side handles to take them off and on easily. After a few years, these bands began to completely fall apart (see photos). When I went to the fossil store, they didn't have many watch bands there for my size watch (22mm) and they were expensive. I bought my watch from there on a great deal, but the cost of replacement bands was about 1/3 of what I paid for the actual watch. Saif, while i was waiting for my battery to be replaced, which was, again, not very long. I asked if they had bands for my fossil watch. He said he did, not with the special handles, but he has the tools to make it in. He showed me a selection of nice leather bands, and after I made my selection, he replaced my old band without a problem. He even replaced the original buckle attached to the old one. The cost of the new leather band was also almost half the cost of the fossil bands. He also gave a guaranteed that any problems would be fixed free of charge. The service here is outstanding! I highly recommend.

If I could give zero stars I would! This company lies to customers and their tactics to sell to…read morecustomers are fraudulent. BEWARE!!!!! I was looking for an Invicta watch for my fiancé and saw that Fashion Time at the mall sold them. I was interested in a particular one, and was unsure about buying it since it is a fairly large purchase. The young guy at the counter reassured me that if my fiancé didnt like it, I could come back to return or exchange it. I purchased the watch and walked away. I gave my fiancé a call, and it unfortunately turned out that he has almost the exact same model. Since I was still in the mall, I wanted to go back and return it about a half hour later. When I went back, he told me that "all sales were final" and that I couldnt return it. When I questioned him and the sale, he said that there is nothing that he can do. The next day, I went back to the mall with hopes that there would be a different salesperson working, but it was the same person. I asked him about the receipt, and how it says that I have 14 days to return it and how he told me in person that I could return it. His response was that "œthe company is moving and they forgot to update the receipt". I asked for his managers number and he told me they just have the shops number on the receipt. This purchase was not a clearance item, and I found out that it is actually full price and selling for cheaper online. There was no indication of the watch being "final sale". When I also questioned the salesperson he said "Yeah, I know that it is cheaper. We would have price matched the watch for you, had you shown us that". I just can't believe I fell for their lies, lesson learned.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I went in to have my Skagen watch battery changed. The…read morewoman behind the counter (who later told me she is the manager) greeted me with a frown and an overall bad attitude. She then proceeded to beat on the back of my watch in order to replace the battery. After she handed my watch back to me, I noticed that one of the diamonds on the watch face (8 o'clock) was off and rolling around. When I showed the lady, she told me that I most likely brought the watch in like that (even though I know I did not), and that they could repair it, but that they would charge me. When I insisted that the watch was fine when I came in, she said the repair would be free, but still charged me for the battery change. Needless to say, I'm sending my watch to the manufacturer for repair, and I'm never setting foot in this store again. The employees are rude and not competent enough to even change a battery.

I paid $3200.00 to Maryland Clock and Watch for my antique non-running Herschede grandfathers clock…read moremovement to be overhauled. This clock was handed down to me from my grandfather. Its quite special to me. MC&W had my clock movement for about 10 months. I knew up front that it would take some time. Now back in my possession since Dec 22, 2020, how can this movement still have issues? The moon phase still does not work. I was assured it would after the overhaul. The chimes sound terrible due the hammers and tubes being out of alignment. I will say, it does maintain excellent time which is great, but that is 1/3 of the mechanical function of this clock, and to me 1/3 of the amount I had paid. Also, I did not get pictures sent to me during the overhaul process that I had been promised. When I brought this up I was then told I would get a comprehensive package including pictures with the return of the clock movement. Well, I received an invoice, "warranty" information and clock setting instructions. I haven't any proof that my movement was disassembled and overhauled. No pictures, no detailed information of what exactly what was replaced, cleaned or adjusted for $3200. I have been told more than once I will get a call and an appointment will be made to come out and look at my clock. To this day 4/04/21, no follow up appointment has been made to correct my clock issues. At this point, I have lost all faith in Maryland Clock & Watch. I will go elsewhere for the remaining repairs. I no longer feel as though they are a competent repair shop. FYI - Below is a more detailed description of the issues The moon phase dial will not move. I was assured this would be working. It should rotate to indicate when there will be a full moon. Strings - It doesn't make sense to me why the strings that pull the hammers and the strings that hang the tubes were replaced at my house and not at the shop? Obviously the movement was not tested properly before hand. Well over an hour was spent installing the strings for the hammers and the tubes at my house. Not all five strings, but four of the five strings were replaced by MC&W at my house. I still have one old original string that still remains, three of the new strings installed were provided by MC&W, and the fourth new string also installed by MC&W was "sewing thread"! Yes that's right, my "sewing thread". I was wondering why I was ask for string or thread? This is certainly not correct. The tone and volume of the chimes is not correct, one in particular is hard to hear the striking of the tube. After my inspection I see the hammers are not in proper alignment. Some hammers are resting against tubes, they should not do that. Also some of the hammers strike the sides of tubes and the top edges of the tubes, and again they should not do that. The tubes also are not in alignment to each other which compounds the problem. The tubes do not hang from the hooks at equal lengths. All off this should have already been done, inspected and tested. This is what makes me think that MC&W had someone else service the movement. Who really did the work I wonder? Lastly, any clock that operates with pendulum must be balanced. It is necessary so the clock is "in beat". My clock was never balanced. It was moved into the corner and left that way. It was gaining one minute a day. For weeks I was trying to adjust the speed of an unbalanced clock. I did end up balancing the clock, and now it keeps excellent time. I don't believe there is a clock or watchmaker on the premises at this time. I should have done a better job of seeking out a trained clock maker.

My mother attempted to take my husband's wedding ring into the store today for us (as we moved out of state where there is no REEDS nearby), to the Hanover (Arundel Mills Mall) store who claimed to be opening at noon today. She arrived at quarter after to then find a closed sign on the door claiming to now be opening at 1PM. She then returned at 1:39pm to find the closed sign moved to 2pm... so, she decided to wait on a mall bench nearby minding her business until they opened... the store then called MALL SECURITY on my mother to have her removed from the site!!! ...for waiting?! She did absolutely nothing but wait for a store to open almost 2 hours after their "opening time". She was embarrassed and mortified as passerby mall attendees watched mall security escort her out!!! What an absolute disgrace of a store and their employee's lack of customer service. I am ashamed to have bought a memorable ring from their store and think everyone should think again before purchasing from them! Beyond disgusted at how they treat their customers.
