I like Benny at Liljenquist & Beckstead for my high ends.

Is Mr. Tang independent or affiliated with an AD?

Welcome from another DC area member.

I have yet to find any good local watch maker, I send my watches away.

He owns his own store in Arlington and Ashburn http://24hrclockworks.com

I guess you can say that his specialty is more on vintage watches and also grandfather/cuckoo clocks..really nice guy too.. There's another place in Vienna on Maple Ave that I know of, John Alabaster. He claims to have been trained by Rolex in Switzerland. The thing is I think it's his apprentice who's doing most of the work these days. I can be wrong tho.

I had mine serviced at L&B in FairOaks Mall and was very, very satisfied. They may have sent to Rolex, but this was 4 years ago.

I've heard very positive things John Alabaster.
