Who is the best person to repair my watch?
As with your automobile, stereo, VCR, or other technology-based property, you should only trust a technician who is thoroughly trained in the required area. Rolex, for example, certifies watch technicians to work on its watches. As with any repair profession, you will find varying levels of expertise, and also individuals who are more qualified in one area than another. For example, a highly skilled Rolex technician might very well be lost when dealing with a 1930’s Gruen Curvex watch. An expert “watchmaker” who is capable even of making parts for some vintage watches, may not have any experience with the intricacies of the modern Rolex or other luxury, high end timepieces. You may be fortunate enough to find a watch repair technician who is well versed and qualified in a number of areas. Such individuals do exist, even in this age of specialization.
