Bob Ridley is the best in NYC bar none... however he can be as pricey as RSC. You get what you pay for.

anyone ever use Hartly Satnick @187 State st?

i have never been satisfied with the results after polishing... from rscny x2 and torneau x1

There's a guy who owns a shop called grand jewelers on 30th avenue in Astoria. There was a NYTimes article about him a few years back. He's the real deal. There's also the shop in Grand Central station, in the 44th street passageway. They know what they're doing too
