I had one bar acting up.



It took FOREVER to get someone to even give me the time of day. Once the salesman realized I had two Rolex watches with me, they were suddenly all too happy to help. Here's the kicker though, they didn't even have springbars! They said they could send the watch to their watchmaker in Sioux City to be fitted. You've gotta be kidding me...



I left and went to Borsheims (not a Rolex dealer) and their watchmaker was able to track down a springbar for me.


I’ve used the Gundersons in Sioux Falls. They sent my watches to Sioux City. Very slow turn around time. Prices were very fair. I think they keep their one watchmaker pretty busy. Staff were friendly enough in Sioux Falls. One guy in particular, quite knowledgeable on vintage too.
