After leaving the store happy with the sizing and wearing the watch around about everyday for a week one of the pins in the band fell out making the watch unwearable. When I went to call the store to see what they could do for me the associate gave me the email of their customer service department. After sending an email with a picture of the watch and receipt the company made a very poor effort to try and resolve the issue. While understanding that using my American credit card might be difficult to get a refund the person responding to me informed me they don't do any refunds for this and made the offer for me to bring it in next time I'm in town. No offer for credit at the store, sending the watch in to get fixed nothing. So now my $700 watch (I've only worn for about a week) sits on my dresser waiting to be fixed because I'd rather not spend another $50 to get it fixed again. I would have at least appreciated some sort of problem solving for breaking my watch.

I've never been a huge jewelry person but now I might be. After trying on several mortgages worth of watches (from Rolex, Panerai, Graham-London, Baume & Mercier and more) I took a look at some of their custom pieces and was surprised and excited to find exquisite pieces for under $500. Not that I'm one to buy something just so I can leave with a bag...(hint: I am). It does have jewelry in the too-many-digits-for-many to consider, but it also has beautiful pieces that are no more costly than Birks or Tiffany's but unique. For the recently engaged or thinking about it, they also do custom engagement and wedding rings. I also always like to try and shop local, and this is a family run local business. Contrary to my experiences at similarly high end establishments, I left feeling glad I went in. And sparklier.

It is absolutely absurd that a jeweler company doesn't have the ability to do a simple polish of a solid gold NO DETAIL ring within Canada.

I will be escalating this with the Chopard company.

The girl who served her appears not to be interested in helping her. The first thing she asked my friend was where she got the engagement ring. My friend replied it was from Cartier. So the girl said "Why don't you go back and buy the wedding bands at Cartier". My friend was shock and replied "I want to shop around to see what is out there". Then the girl started to help but then started bashing about Cartier and Tiffany - how most guys thinks with the brand name means better diamonds but Montecristo has better diamond. Quite frankly, I think trashing other stores is unprofessional. I don't recall the girl name other than she has a cell phone case that says "Mr. Right". I am not sure if all the service at Montecristo is like this. In the past - a few years ago, I got pearl earrings there and the service was excellent. As such, I can't gave this a 1 star rating, but the recent experience was quite uncomfortable so I am giving it two stars. In the end, my friend went back to Cartier.

I was curious after reading some reviews if I'd be profiled/turned away at the door, requiring an appointment. I went in late afternoon on the weekend, and they just let me in the door. Maybe they had an empty calendar? (I was a disheveled tourist, not particularly well dressed.) I didn't look around too much, since I had very particular questions about the watches I was interested in. The salesperson answered my questions fine, and assisted me while trying on some similar models. Since they didn't have what I wanted (which is not available in their current offering), I thanked her and left. They didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about selling to me, as other reviewers said, but the experience wasn't entirely unpleasant, either. Kind of sterile, but not hostile.
