Icon8 Zimbal's, anyone hears of it????

Yea, so there is a scratch on my DJ just left of the 12 o'clock marker. I took it to the jewler where I got it and are going to send it to Zimbal's for new crystal and I'm having them look at the date as it only clicks over half way. Has anyone ever heard of Zimbal's? The cost of the repair is $125. It would of been $250 but they said they would split the cost with me. I went to an Ad and they said it would probably be between $250-$300. Any advice or ideas of what to do?

Never heard of them, however, a quick google search yields this (they say they do repair work for many independent jewelers):

Zimbal's is an independent repair shop in Florida.

It's likely that your Jeweler has them on contract for their watch repairs

According to the jewler every Rolex they get is sent to them for repair/service. Just curious if its any one has used them and if they are legit?

I would go to the AD personally. You really aren't talking much of a difference for the piece of mind you would be getting in return.
