Watch + jewellery service shortlist
Watch and jewellery service cohort. WatchRepair.net (Harriet Herman, Miami FL) is GREEN-cleared at 100/100 for the Omega Seamaster + classic Omega overhauls. Open slots for a local jeweller, second-opinion watchmaker, and ring-resize specialist.
Vetting criteria:
- Brand specialty match — Omega / Rolex / Patek service requires factory-trained watchmakers; general jewellers don't have the parts access
- CW21 or AWCI certification — Certified Watchmaker 21st Century is the credentialled bar
- BBB longevity — fraud-risk-high category; want 10+ years BBB history
- Mail-in protocol — insured shipping both ways, photo intake, written estimate before work
- Local backup — for in-person needs (battery, strap, sizing, walk-in inspection) — keep a local jeweller on file too
