    Excellent workmanship. Changed batteries and Chen cleaned inside. He said there were some water that went inside.

    Michael Chen is a master! Under 10 bucks to revive a vintage timepiece with speed and skill right there in front of me. Was in and out in 5 min he does stuff on the spot in cash and he's a freaking master adorable old dude. Love him!

    Watch battery replacement $5 per watch I think

    Nice people, located inside grocery's store, super affordable. I got 4-5 watch batteries replaced and chain link removed

    New location as of March 2023!  INSIDE the Wing Fung herbal shop at 213-217 Grand Street between Elizabeth Street and Mott Street

    Expert watch repair and fair pricing. Michael is trustworthy and really knows his stuff. He has some interesting watches for sale sometimes.

    Exceptional service...I had 2 watches repaired for less than the quote on 1 of them at most places. They were ready within 3 days of dropping them off! A real hidden gem and I couldn't be happier! Big salute to Michael Chen!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Watch Repair

    Is he open still?

    Yes!

    I've strolled by a few times this past week, does anyone know where he may be operating?

    He is setting up shop at 80 Bowery. It'll be ready very soon!

    Is Mr.Chen able to fix and repair watches that dont't move even after a battery change? I have a watch that doesnt move even after installing a fresh new battery.

    Take it to him to have a look at it. He fixed a mechanical watch for me that had a problem with the wonder stem. If your watch can't be fixed, he'll be able to tell you that.

    Has anyone taken a high end watch here? Need a link out of my rolex. Can he do that?

    Unless your watch is a chronograph, removing a link should be fine. He's normally a quick operator, but you can stand by him if you have concerns.

    Is Michael Chen watch repair at 70 Bayard still open? I am here and see a new bakery at this address?

    I just went today and didn't see him either. Can anyone else confirm if he is still here?

    Chen would be able to replace the rubber band of my watch, which had lost the loops along the band over time.

    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.
