You would do well to see Mr. Simon for watch repair. I brought him my watch that other shops wanted way too much money to fix or ship off. I read many reviews for local and even mail in repair shops. I decided to visit Mr. Simon in downtown San Antonio. Within 15 minutes of walking into his little shop, he had my watch taken apart, diagnosed, fixed, and on my wrist while I was there having a conversation with him. He charged me too little money for the whole thing in my opinion, but would not take a penny more. He is a 65 year veteran horologist who knows his stuff. My trip downtown was very painless - I was able to park in the garage on Travis and St. Mary's (behind the Sheraton Gunter), cross the street, have Mr. Simon fix my watch on the spot, and get back to my car to pay just $3 in parking (it would have been $2 if we didn't keep talking). Make sure to bring cash as I don't think that he has a credit card machine. In my opinion, he is a true craftsman and a rare find.

Mr. Simon is by far the best jeweler that I have ever encountered. He is polite, professional and very courteous. He is very honest when repairing watches and his prices are very reasonable. He is a priceless jeweler time and time again!
