Do not enter the doors of this rip off place. First of all, I don't know how the place exists. There are very few customers in there at any time, and half of the dealer booths are empty. Then because their business is so low, they try to rip you off on everything. As far as watch repairs, stay away from Nick's Gold Network, and Tick Tock Watch and Jewelry. I once took my watch to Nicks because it was running 2 minutes fast every day. He charged me $40 to adjust the time. Two days later, it was 2 minutes slow. When I brought it back, I was told that it would need to be cleaned out, and that would be $70 ! I told him this is a Seiko watch that is 10 years old, and only cost me $75.
I could get another one for less than $100. He thought I was stupid enough to spend over $100 to fix it. I walked out. I bought my own watch tool to remove the back, which you can get on ebay for less than $20. I went on You Tube, and leaned how easy it was to adjust the time. Then after taking the back of the watch out several times, the rubber gasket fell apart. I called a few independent Jewelers and asked how much should a watch gasket cost. I was told a few dollars, they are cheap. I took it to the Exchange, went to a place called Tick Tock Watch and Jewelry. This rip off artist, doesn't quote me a price for the gasket, opens up the watch, replaces the gasket, and then tells me I owe him $20 ! I was in a rush, so I paid him. Never again for this place !
He contacted me about jewelry that I was selling through Craigslist and gave me a great offer. Several red flags:
He was in a big hurry to conduct the transaction.
We agreed on something, but he conducted his transaction in a different way.
Kept insisting that it be taken care of today.
Agreed to cash, but deposited a check (claimed he wasn't able to deposit cash).
Would not allow me to wait for the check to clear the bank before I sent him the jewelry.
He claimed that he had deposited a certified bank check, but when I told him I would not send the jewelry until I was sure the check would clear, he told me he was going to stop payment on the check, which you can't do on a certified check. He couldn't even tell me what bank he got the bank check from.
