    I came here with 9 watches that needed battery change -- I know, that seems like a lot, but I like…read morewatches. I live in Seattle, but there aren't many small independent watch/clock repair shops around where I live, and this shop sounded like a gem from the yelp reviews. And it was. I randomly walked in with 9 watches past 5 pm on Friday (one of them was a little more complicated), and Mr. Hiew told me they could be ready by noontime on Monday. Wow. I've walked into a pretty well-known jeweler (B*n Bri**es) by where I live, and they'd say, "We'll call you when it's ready" (which is like a week later) or sometimes even "We have to send this out." But no nonsense like that here. It's all business. Love it. I went back a little after lunchtime on Monday, and sure enough, they were ready and packaged, with detailed description of each watch written down. This man is dedicated to watches and clocks. He's even wearing a Renata mask. (I've never even seen a Renata mask. He must be a good customer.) In case you don't know (like one previous reviewer), Renata batteries are what's considered most reliable and long lasting. They're used in the likes of Rolex (Oysterquartz), Tag Heuer and Breitling. Renata batteries cost a little more, but if your shop uses them despite the cost, you know they care. I paid 15 CAD for 8 of the watches and 25 CAD for the more complicated one. I'm a happy camper. In Seattle they charge more and do less (they'd say things like, "...and waterproofing would be extra charge"). An unassuming shop that doesn't even have a sign outside, but has customers coming back? That's my kind of shop. I'll definitely come back when I'm in town.

    Called John as I needed new batteries for a couple of watches that had been sitting in drawers for…read morea few years. He told me to come right over - had them ready to go while I waited no more than 10 minutes in his whimsical and curious little shop. Fantastic service - I'll be back and telling everyone I know about this little hidden gem. Thanks, John!

    they lost my scrap gold for half a year or so.. 4 times i went in the older woman (frosted 70's…read morehair) was so rude to myself and my mother and argued with me about my gold until I produced a receipt. still rude (i was going to have them make a ring) i asked her to fix my antique sterling bracelet. she said, "that's mexican. ​they've been coating stainless steel with silver. that's not real." i took my gold and services to another jewelers on Iowa(much better) where they gave me 10x the amount on my scrap gold ghan birth wicks was going to give.they are rip offs my family had been going there for 20 plus years. u can only assume they were ripping them off all along scams. btw, my antique Mexican taco silver bracelet was indeed real sterling. that lady at borthwicks was just a bitch, turns out

    I brought in my engagement ring (purchased elsewhere) because I thought it needed to be resized and…read morethe prongs tightened--my center stone felt a little loose. The wonderful ladies working there took the time to explain why my ring actually felt too big, and it turned out I didn't need a resize after all! They offered an alternative adjustment I didn't even know was possible, suggested more cost-effective options, and even tightened my prongs at no extra charge. My ring was ready within just a couple of business days and looked absolutely gorgeous when I picked it up. The staff was so warm, friendly, and genuinely made me feel comfortable and cared for. I'll definitely be coming back to them for all my future jewelry needs--wedding bands, gifts, repairs, and more. Highly recommend!
