Hi,
Newish to vintage collecting and having a difficult time finding someone in the Boston area to service, swap crystals, etc on my vintage rolex pieces. Is there anyone local that can suggest a professional capable of working on these pieces?

Thanks!
J

i just signed up to this forum today to find out the same exact question for Boston
I reached out to the Village watch center over phone and text.

Something about our exchange just didnt feel right. So I didnt go with them.

I"m very picky with my Rolex as it has high sentimental value to me... its priceless

While I've never used them myself, I've heard a number of good things about Precision Watch Works in Downtown Crossing. It also looks like he is one of the only watchmakers in Boston with such extensive training.

Second this, contact Albert as he can do it (has a guy).

Paul Duggan....I think by appt. at Washington Street(Jewelers Bldg.). He moved his main office and showroom up to NH last year. Superb service and people.
Also, Duvarney Jewelers in Fitchburg....used to be a Rolex AD for many years.

I called Duggan once for a repair and was told that they only work on Rolexes that they've sold. They referred me to Gus' Watch Repair in the Jeweler's Bldg. https://www.yelp.com/biz/guss-watch-repair-boston

YMMV. Call and check.
