A good watchmaker in NYC?

[Lamone]

I'm looking for a great watchmaker in New York to service some on my Rolex watches.
You guys know anyone?

I don't know if it will work out, but I have a watch repair guy who services Rolexes, and specializes them. Its not a very big shop. He only speaks Chinese, but on Sunday there's usually his daughter who speaks English. It says in the front of the store "K&E Jewlery" but further back there is a watchmaker.

144 Hester Street, New York, NY 10013

I think that's just down from Alltiques, 88 Bowery. He had a huge window display of watches. There were so many I wanted to fondle. I ended up taking a good look over two 5512's. Way too pricey, but they were nice.

Yep! It is. He has alot of stuff, but I don't think he repairs watches. He has alot of eyecandy.

John Criscitiello at Alltique in Chinatown is a diamond in the rough. Forget 5th Ave. His window display is well worth the walk past the smelly fish market. Granted there is a lot of fake everything in the neighborhood, but his selection is impressive.
