independent watch service in NYC
Can any of the members recommend an independent watchmaker in NYC who they would trust restore an early El Primero movement (not from a Rolex, but a Zenith -- however I thought the Daytona owners would know). Or alternately, point me to an appropriate thread if this has been posted before.
Thanks in advance |

You may want to look at Manhattan Time service:
http://www.watchrepairny.com/ They have some pics of a restored daytona on there. ![]() |

Cool i was looking for an independant watch maker. I want to get the coke bezel on my 16710 replaced with a pepsi. Rolex Service Center will do it but then they will keep my original coke.
I hope this guy will just swap it for me. _Faide |
