Hello TRF , I am seeking an Immaculate watchmaker with high regards and understand this forum is the best place to find one. I know TRF has everything from enthusiasts to ligament watchmakers.

Not being an American, I always assumed “tri-state area” referred to a variety of places?

Seeking Top Rated Watchmaker Tri State Area
According to his profile, the OP is located in Fairfield County, which is in Conneticut, USA. A map of the Tri-State-Area you find in Google.
Luckily I'm also not living in "The City" there. |

It’s an informal term for people who live in the metropolitan area of NYC , fairfield county and North Jersey. It’s Technically all three entire states and a portion of PA which seems meh. But either way people travel back and forth to the city so everyone is familiar

The Tri state area includes New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and if you want to get technical it's actually four states, you have to include N.E. Pennsylvania.
One possible lead. Call Tarrytown Jewelers in Hartsdale NY. ask for Jenny. Their highly established in a busy watch area and may be able to point you in a right direction.. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

Shami Fine Watchmaking in Fairfield, NJ. Honest, super customer oriented, 3 generations watchmaking family owned, impeccable high end state of the art dust free workshop, highly competent workmanship, two year warranty. Stop in and/or call and ask for Adam the owner. Tell him Seth the Seiko fanatic sent you! He knows me well. Tell him I said that he'll take good care of you!
They've serviced all my vintage Rolex and MANY vintage Seiko chronographs and divers. They're an authorized repair center for many large brands including all in the SWATCH Group. They only use all genuine factory Rolex parts. Probably the nicest setup in a watchmaking business I've ever seen. Never had an issue with any of my watches after servicing. And he'll respect any wishes you have like not polishing vintage cases, etc...

Seeking Top Rated Watchmaker Tri State Area

When I got a walk through of the shop, I walked through a little enclosure where the door behind me had to close before the one in front of me opened. The floor was “sticky” I assume to catch dust. I had to wear foot booties and a lab coat. Everyone who works there has to take off their shoes when they arrive and put on shoes that don’t leave the shop. Now is this a class 10 clean room setup or borrowing features of one? I don’t know. Is this a “dust free” workshop? It’s the nicest most seriously attempted setup I’ve seen in an independent watchmakers workshop to achieve an environment that is as “dust free” as possible. Was I being super technical and literal when I say “dust free?” No. What’s funny is I’ve brought him watches that other independent watchmakers serviced which run fine and he shows me little particles of dust on the movement Sent from Crapatalk
