    Default best place to get watches repaired in Calgary?

    can anyone recommend me some good stores here in Calgary where I could get my 2 watches repaired?
    one is an automatic Audemars Piguet and other is an automatic Swatch.
    Never had good luck with the one in The Bay at Sunridge Mall and Sears at North Hill Mall

    My dad recommended I take my watch to Sears at Chinook (ground level) since he had good experience there. I dropped it off yesterday and while the watch repair man wasn't there, he called me this morning to give me an overview of what was wrong, how much it would cost to fix it, and how long it would take at the most. The price is much cheaper than what it would've cost had I taken it to an actual dealer for a repair (dunno if it'd be the same for your watch).

    So far so good.

    sears might be good for quartz watches but dont trust anyone besides the factory autorized repair place with an automatic watch. theres over 300 parts on a automatic watch. dont trust a guy at sears. if he was that good he would be at a place like brinkhaus downtown making a crapload fixing rolexs. even if he was good, sears wont have the proper parts or tools for the job.

    Sears Chinook is a really good place to go. Sears Northhill is only good for a new replacement band, band sizing and battery replacement. The guy in Chinook is an actual watchmaker. PM pacman for places to have watches repaired.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.
