To all who have provided feedback over the years:
Thank you for taking the time to write. I really appreciate receiving report cards from my customers.
I'm very conscious of the fact that many of you have taken a giant leap of faith by sending a precious family heirloom to a complete stranger. That's why I try to keep you informed and to provide reassurance that your 214 is on schedule. Even those who place no sentimental value on a recently purchased 214 are a bit nervous (and rightly so) that they might be victimized by incompetence or even outright theft. Judging by your feedback, you also welcome periodic re-assurance.
My backlog could be much shorter if I cut back on the time I spend doing e-mails, but I have no intention of doing so. My process works well for all concerned, and as the saying goes.... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
7/23/08 - Just a short note to let you know how happy I am with your work on my Accutron. It looks and runs great. I waited four years to finally have it serviced. I'm glad I found you! Your work was done right on schedule. I remember how proud I was when I bought the watch when I was 19 years old. Now, 41 years later, I have this fine bit of history to pass along.
Thanks again for your skills and trustworthiness....I would recommend you to anyone who needs work on their Accutron!

6/22/08 - The watch is beautiful and has been the topic of many conversations.
Again Thanks, Glen Meyers
6/16/08 - I received my watch today, I
can't thank you enough for your time and effort in bringing my watch back to
life, the watch looks and is humming like new, I couldn't be more pleased.
Thank You, Glenn Oberlin
6/3/08 - Thank you so much. My restored spaceview made it safely back to me and it looks great. It is wonderful to have it back in running condition.
Best regards - Andrew Rappaport

5/13/08 - Hello Mr. Marcus, Today, much to my delight, the postman delivered the package containing my watch. The packaging was great. One look at my Accutron and I was immediately reminded how classy it looks and why I fell in love with it in the first place. After a few short days in your skilled hands it again looks great and appears to operate perfectly. I think you did a wonderful job of communicating with me through the entire process and I felt secure sending you both my beloved Accutron and then my check. Please feel free to use me as an example of a very satisfied customer. I would sincerely sing praises of your service to anyone whom you might send my way. Thank you again very much,
Jim Mark
5/6/08 - The post office tried to deliver the watch yesterday. I picked it up today. It arrived in excellent condition. Thank you for bringing it back to life.
Martin Keyser
4/26/08 - I received my Accutron a couple of days ago, and I am very happy with the result. Thank-you for your fine attention to detail and your passion for the watch. Bulova could have cared less when I contacted them about a repair. They only wanted to sell me a new watch, and they wee not interested in fixing a classic timepiece. That is what caused me to search for someone who could repair it. I was very lucky to find someone who cares about this unique watch. Thanks again.
Mark Steinberg
4/8/08 - My Accutron 214 has been back from repair and servicing by you for close to three months. I think it's about time I write you to compliment and praise you for what I think is outstanding work.
I didn't pay very much for this watch, and I think it's appearance showed it wasn't worth very much when it arrived at your shop. When it came back to me the watch looked essentially brand new! Honestly, I think it's probably not possible - and certainly not practical - to take a 44-year old "junker" of a 214 and make its appearance better. And not only does the watch look great, it runs great too. I've watched this 214 against an "atomic" clock and found that it gains about two seconds a day (a minute a month). This of course is excellent for an Accutron. It's interesting that when an Accutron keeps time to this accuracy, you can easily regulate out the small error by just storing the watch in the 12 o'clock up or 12 o'clock down position overnight. I do this (doesn't need it every night) and have not reset the time (except change to EDT) since getting it back. You've made my 214 run as best it can!
When you advised me that my 214 was ready to be sent back you said I would be pleased with it. As always, you were right! I am extremely pleased - and very impressed - with your work. Thank you very much. I get a great deal of satisfaction and pride of ownership from my 214's. This would not be possible without your skills in restoring these classic timepieces. No wonder you're slammed with work.
There's one other point I'd like to mention. You run your business within a very well designed process and with great attention to detail and thoroughness. I like this approach. It instills in the customer confidence in you that you will do exactly what you say. In my case, I have to say that your work exceeded my high expectations. That's a pretty rare quality in today's market. I wish businesses of all kinds were run like yours.
So, I'll look forward to sending another of my prized 214's up to you for servicing and a diode later this year.
Sincerely, James Cridlin
3/31/08 - Got it!
Excellent job. Thank you so much for your professional work.
Now that it looks so "New" I'm almost afraid to take it out. ;>)
Kind regards, Rod Spencer

Accutron waiting for me. I'm extremely pleased with the results. Overjoyed
actually. Many thanks for your efforts.
Best regards, Ned Gehret
3/4/08 - Received my Accutron yesterday. It has been a long wait, but was worth it. You made it look like it was new when my Dad gave it to me on my 21st birthday back in 1972. This watch has a lot of sentimental value to me, and you are an excellent craftsman in giving it a new life, and I thank you very much for doing it for me.
Bruce Willis

Thank you very much,
Doug Alexander
2/21 08 - You have a thorough operation and extensive knowledge of Accutrons. I especially appreciated the several pages that came with the watch explaining battery replacement setting the time, etc. Your internet site is full of information, too. That's why I decided you had to be legit and sent you my watch.
Bob Vondra
2/21/08 - My Accutron is now on my wrist and keeping time, I might add. Thanks. And thanks for the ad copy. It is fun to see.

Your work is greatly appreciated and I hope my watch lasts long enough to pass on to my son. I have read your instructions and I will keep them for future reference. Again, many thanks for your fine work; have a happy and prosperous New Year.
Dave Ort

A. M. Crouch
12/30/07 - I hope this finds you well. I have been meaning to contact you for
a couple months to let you know how successful the 60th birthday present for my
dad was! He was so surprised and thrilled when he opened his gift, and it took
him a few minutes to register that he was holding an authentic solid gold
Spaceview watch! He wears it with boyish pride and shares updates with us. My
recent special birthday present has not lost or gained time since being reset
for EST! Thank you again for providing such a unique and generous gift." Please
know you helped make my dad's special birthday even more special and memorable.
Happy and healthy holidays to you and your family.
Best,
Jennie.Pries
12/24/07 - I received it today in the mail. It looks beautiful. I am wearing it now. Thanks so much for your quality craftsmanship. Very Best Regards and Merry Christmas.
Jeff Morrow
12/6/07 - Thought you'd like to know. Have had my watch, repaired by you, two months now. Set the watch when I got it to PST and it is DEAD ON to the minute two months later. A testamont to your work. I had the crystal fog once slightly but it cleared up. As you stated in your info, you have to be careful as these watches are not watertight. Have a great holiday.
Ken Tool
12/2/07 - I received my watch today. I am extremely pleased with its appearance and it seems to be keeping excellent time from the time that you set it. Thank you for a job well done.
Paul Joyce
11/29/07 - Thank you very much. My Accutron arrived today, it looks great and runs great. The wait is a small thing when one is receiving such quality workmanship.
All the best, Edwin Curry
11/29/07 - The watch is home. While the wait was long from the time it was sent to you, it was even longer from the time it stopped until I found you on the web. I am sure the owners of the many watches that you have touched have a story and I am no different. As the New York Times article stated - there are "better" watches around; however, mine is precious to me. As with many of your customers, I have other watches, but this one is special.
Thanks, Larry Swartwood
11/21/07 - The Accutron arrived yesterday. It is currently humming away on my wrist - a place it hadn't seen for many years. Thanks for all your work. It was worth the wait.
Happy Thanksgiving! Jim Graber
11/20/07 - Received the watch today. Looks just as I imagined it would, like new. Thanks for the service.
Willard Machen
11/19/07 - Received the watch today. It looks great - better than new when I bought it on Kwajelien Island in 1968.
Thanks, Bill Campenni
11/19/07 - I got my Accutron today. Thank you for another excellent repair.
Bob Allred
11/14/07 - Received the watch.Looks good and humming. Thanks
Regards, Bobby Davis
10/30/07 - Received watch yesterday and it runs and looks super. It's currently residing on my wrist. A guy forgets just how cool these watches are, especially when they sit in a safe because they are broken. Glad to have it back operational and thanks for the repair. Based on your attached article, I am concerned about future parts availability, so this repair was indeed necessary. A pleasure doing business with you and will in the future, but I hope not soon.
Very Respectfully, Ken Tool
10/15/07 - My Accutron arrived today--all safe and sound and running like a top. Thanks for your outstanding work.
Best, Dick Mosbach

Thank You, Bob Hibschman
10/13/07 - The postman delivered my dad's gold Accutron today and I am wearing it now! Thanks so much for making my dream of having this watch working again come true!
Best Regards, Carl Turnquist
10/13/07 - I received my Accutron on Wednesday, October 10 and was pleased to hear that familiar hum. I am glad to have this watch functional again. It was a graduation gift in 1971 from my folks. Thanks again for your attention to detail.
Regards, Michael Ujiiye
10/8/07 - I now have my beloved watch back, and in running condition! Thank you so very, very much. I especially appreciate the “new” crystal, I have not seen it that way since the sixties! Thank you again for providing this wonderful service to all of us “gearheads” out here.
Warmly, Stuart Kendall
9/25/07 - I have recieved my watch and I am very pleased with its look, feel, sound and performance! Great work and thanks again for the highest level of professionalism anyone could ask for.
Thanks again, Brian Canfield
7/30/07 - RECEIVED THE WATCH TODAY, THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT AND THE MONEY. THANKS ONCE AGAIN, FOR MAKING MY WATCH LOOK LIKE IT WAS WHEN I GOT IT FROM MOM AND DAD SO LONG AGO, IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND MAGICAL.

CLIFF BROWN

John Ousterhout
7/20/07 - I got my "heirloom" back today; it seems to be in great shape, running well, etc. Thanks, again, for what you were able to do for me; it has been a long time trying to find ANYONE who had knowledge and/or parts to repair this for me. It means a lot to me, and I am grateful for your abilities, integrity, your thoroughness, etc.
Best wishes,
Glenn Smith
7/19/07 - The watch arrived safely yesterday afternoon. The Spaceview is on my wrist looking handsome and keeping excellent time. I like the band you picked out, it nicely complements the watch. Thank you for a job well done.
Peter Hollyer
7/3/07 - The watch arrived today. It looks great. I will forward it on to my son tomorrow. He got it from his grandfather. It means a lot to him.
Mike Dorsey
7/2/07 - I got the watch today, and I am very pleased with the results. This
was my father's watch until his death in 1969, and after getting your
E-mail, I had been eagerly awaiting its arrival. It was like getting a new "old"
watch with memories.
Thank you again, Elliot Marcus
7/2/07 - An odd bit of "serendipity" today...we have a very long driveway and so I virtually never see our letter carrier. I was out on a brief errand and when I pulled into the driveway upon returning, the letter carrier pulled in behind me to hand me the package from you...The watch looks great, and whataya know...it works, too! Thanks again for doing a great job on my father's watch. I know if he was still with us, he'd be thrilled to see it doing so well.
Bob Gosselin
7/2/07 - I received the watch today and it is beautiful and as I remembered it with the red second hand. Sounds as I remembered it also. The new band looks very nice on it also. I will be in touch in 5 years for servicing. Thank you very much.
Walter Howard
6/5/07 - I just arrived home last evening and found the clock had arrived. Thank you for the repair. It made me feel good that it is working again. Thanks again for your service.
Barbara Hoak
6/5/07 - I received the watch yesterday and it looks great. Many fond memories, thanks for doing a great job!

6/5/07 - I received my Accutron today. Thanks. It is a good feeling to wear it again.
Harold McCubbin
6/4/07 - I was thrilled to receive my 1970 Spaceview, which I have not worn for over 30 years. It was my high school graduation gift from my mother (passed away) and you have brought it back to "as new" condition both in appearance and running condition. It is as beautiful today, as when I received it! I cannot thank you enough for your skill and craftsmanship in restoring my timepiece. Your devotion and passion to keeping the Accutron legacy alive is most appreciated. Thanks a million. It is on my wrist and humming away, as I type this!
Jon Bonime
6/3/07 - I can't say enough good about the service you have provided...its
just super....This is the second Astronaut I have owned ..the first I got in
1967 and was lost in the Pacific by Hawaii in the late 70,s. probably still
there, maybe some treasure hunter will find it someday. This one I gat about two
years ago and with your help it will go the next 25 or so years. Again thanks.
Dennis Williams

5/21/07 - I received both Accutrons today. They both appear to be running perfectly. Thanks for your quality work.
Sam Thomas
5/21/07 - The watch arrived in perfect shape. I must admit I had reservations about sending my watch and then payment on a leap of faith. But it worked great and I appreciate the service. I really looked forward to getting my watch back since I have had it since new as present from my wife.
Thanks again. Cary Brown
5/19/07 - Just wanted to let you know the Accutron arrived and it looks GREAT! Thanks for all your hard work.

Doug Stevens
5/1/07 - You did a very nice job on this watch.
Thanks, Doug Griswold
4/29/07 - Watch received in good condition. I'm pleased and quite amazed to see/hear it running again after so many years. Thanks. If I have any problems, I'll let you know.
David Bowers
4/23/07 - Well, the past just came back to life. I opened the box and the watch is absolutely beautiful and humming along. I doubt it's looked this good since my grandfather purchased it back in '63 (he would have been 79 at the time of purchase, hence his likely preference for a more classic / less space age look). Thank you very much. I'm very glad to have found you on line. This was well worth the time and investment.
Sincerely,
Robert Drake
4/16/07 - I received my astronaut on Sunday, and I must say, that it looks almost brand new. What a pleasure to have this watch in top shape. The band extension is perfect. Great job!
Mark Rosenberg
4/12/07 - I have received my watch and sorry I did not get back to you sooner but, I was on a trip out of the country.
I am thrilled and very pleased of what you have accomplished with my watch. As I said to you before “I have a lot history and many memories associated with this watch and in respects it is invaluable to me”. I am sure you know what I am referring too. All Accutron owners I am cognizant do have such a love affair with the Accutron time pieces from the dialog I heard in my investigations on getting my watch repaired. When I found out about you, through my research, I can attest to you or anyone that it was worth the wait.
If it was not for me searching the Web sites for repairs of Accutron’s, I would have been at a lost and all I can say is thanks to the electronic pipe line, the Web, the information highway. I do have to say your Web site is the best in precise information and references as well as your quality control processes throughout this process leaves nothing to doubt.
I did a lot of research and was told that it was un-repairable, parts were no longer available. Even a call to Bulova somewhat made reference that is un-repairable and if you did find someone it would be a miracle and not the same as your original, well they were wrong .
Once again I want to thank you for everything.
Albert Masciadrelli
4/11/07 - The latest 214 you overhauled is running perfectly and keeps excellent time. Of all of the 214's that I have sent you, this has been my favorite watch.
Frank White
4/2/07 - Received watch on Saturday and it looks great.
Thanks, Ned Matthews
3/27/07 - I received my Accutron on Monday afternoon, and I must say that it is breathtaking. You did an absolutely superb job. I can't begin to say how much it means to me personally to have my granddad's watch running for the first time since the day he died in 1974. Thank you for taking such good care of the watch while you had it. I'm thrilled to tears that it looks good and runs so well. Thanks so much!
Jordan Sellers
3/27/07 - My Accutron arrived yesterday - it looks like a brand new watch. Thank you for great job !
Thanks again from Robin Swaysland
3/23/07 - The watch arrived yesterday, well packaged and running like new.
Thank you for your excellent service.
Regards, Michael McFarland
3/22/07 - I reunited with my 214 today. It looks like new and is running fine. I've worn it almost every day since 1966. It felt great to have it back.
Thanks, Nick Black
3/20/07 - I have received my watch all safe and sound. It looks beautiful and sounds great too! Thanks for all of your help and now that I'm a bit more knowledgeable about it, I'll be more proactive about it's maintenance. Thanks again and have a great day.
Tom Warren
3/20/07 - I received my watch today and I'm looking forward to wearing it tomorrow. It looks great! Thanks for the expert service.
Regards, Sheldon Lorber
2/27/07 - I was able to sign for my watch today and it is spectacular. I can't thank you enough for the work you've done to restore it. I'm looking forward to wearing it as well as getting back the other two you're working on.
Trey Wylie
2/27/07 - I received my Accutron in the mail today. I can't believe that it has already arrived. The watch is absolutely beautiful. I turned out much better than I ever expected. I didn't realize that the watch was in that good shape, and then the work that you did is truly professional. I am very satisfied and anxious to wear the watch. Thank you for your skill and expertise.
Roney McCrary
2/26/07 - Your work exceeded my wildest dreams! I don't remember the watch
looking that nice the day I got it brand new, but I guess it must have. I
would highly recommend to anyone the "rear cover restore - graining"
in particular and the luminous painting and crystal polishing services. They are
perfect, and make the watch beautiful as it was intended to be.
As you might have guessed, I am really struggling for the words to describe how
thrilled I am with what you have accomplished with my watch. I have a lot of my
life's history and fond memories associated with this watch so in some respects
it is invaluable to me. I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about and
why we Accutron owners have such a love affair with the watch.
I was told it was unrepairable scrap, parts and batteries were no longer
available, and told to throw it out. Even Bulova returned it to me and said it
was unrepairable. Thank goodness I Googled "Accutron repair" and found
out about you before I gave up. Once again, I can wear it with pride and enjoy
its hum on my bedside table thanks to your "magic".
You may recall, I mentioned that I have promised the watch to my oldest son when
I deem it appropriate. I hope one day he will wear it with pride as I have done
and maybe even tell people, "this was my dad's watch and he gave it to
me". I expect we will get another 30+ years out of it which makes your
restoration services a great deal indeed.
Once again, thank you so much for restoring my watch; and, if I can ever help
you out in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Bill Smith
2/21/07 - I picked up my watch from the post office today, and all is fine! .It looks great, runs great, Thank you for your excellent work! I am going to replace the band and I will have a new watch.
Thanks again for your work, Richard Perry
2/21/07 - I
received my Accutron and I must say you did do a great
job. It was worth the wait.
Thanks Again, Robert Pierce
2/21/07 - The watch looks great, pleasure doing business with you.
All the best, Ian Munro
2/21/07 - I think you might be pleased to know that the railroad Accutron that you repaired for me, a year ago January, lost a little bit, gained a little bit, then stabilized and now, a year later is 17 seconds behind the correct time. When I first got it, it was a few seconds off, so I reset it. I was able to set it exactly on time. I kept track of it's gains and losses, but never re-set it because it never was more than 25 seconds off the correct time. At first, it lost. Then it gained and was ahead of the correct time by 15 seconds. And now it is 17 seconds slow.
I just thought you would like to know. Jack Callison
PLEASE NOTE:
I doubt that there are many 214's which can be said to be accurate to
within 25 seconds a year. Bulova's original guaranty was +/- 1 minute per month.
Many of the 214's that I receive for repair will perform as well as they did
when new after being serviced. A very few like Jack's will be amazing, but some
(too many really) have problems which do not keep the movement from running but
will effect the accuracy after servicing. Because of this, my guarantee is +/- 4
minutes per month.
2/17/07 - I Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for getting my 214 up and running again. It sure was worth the wait.I got it Monday 2-12 and it's going strong. And the green band really compliments the watch. I wish my Dad was around to see it functioning again. Somehow, I think he knows. Anyway, thanks so much. You truly are a Master Craftsman.
Thanks again. Mike Boggins
2/13/07 - It arrived yesterday, Martin. Coincidently on our 53rd wedding Anniversay. And Now, I can
calculate our time together accurately and precisely. Thanks again Martin! Ciao for now.
Ron Moon
2/12/07 - I have received the watch in fine running order. Thank you for a job well done.
Richard Huberman
2/5/07 - Received the watch and it looks great. Thanks again.
Fred Gonzales
2/3/07 - Got it today and am wearing it right now. Excellent job, it's humming along at what seems like a lower pitch than before. I'm sure the higher voltage was overdriving it. Since it's now at the correct voltage/hertz it's keeping time much better already. Very happy with your craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Thank you, Jim Coble
1/12/07 - Received my watch in the mail Monday. Have been wearing it ever since and it is keeping excellent time. (of course, it’s an Accurtron…..) Thank you very much for taking good care of my watch, I expect it to be useful for at least another 20 years or so. And if I need anything done on it in the future, I do know where to send it. Thanks again for the good work you do.
Bill Machacek
1/9/07 - My Accutron arrived safely today and seems to right-on-the-money and running great!
Thanks, Richard Kesler
1/9/07 - Rec'd my watch this morning from the mailman. It looks simply great an I am very happy and thankful. Your skill an attention to detail is amazing. Many thanks. My 82-year old Dad has an old astronaut watch that needs similar servicing and hopefully we can get him fixed up too.
Respectfully, Tim Moore
1/9/07 - I received the package notice yesterday. I will pick it up after work, and then take it to Greensboro in a few days so Dad can open it up. Thank you, again, for working us in.
Jean S. Rabold
1/9/07 - I received my Accutron this afternoon. It was well worth the wait
and the dollars. Thank you.... and thank you for the extra battery and the
appraisal.

Bobby Rodriguez
12/26/06 - My Accutron arrived today 12/26/2006 and is in perfect order!
Thanks again, Leo McIntire
12/26/06 - I hope you will excuse me for not writing you for so long ... on the other hand, I guess it proves how happy I am with my 'renewed' Accutron. It is keeping such good time that I almost never check on it. It has to be months since I set it.
I just checked back, and it has been almost a full three months since you sent it back ... it is humming along nicely and looks fabulous on my wrist ... it makes some of these very expensive watches that seem to be "in" today look like Mickey Mouse Specials ... it is so compact and beautiful (after your work), more than one person has asked to look at it ... they're amazed when they learn it's almost an antique ... it looks brand new!!! Thanks again ... the wait was well worth it ...
I'll be seeing my brother in February and will try to convince him to have his 'refurbished' (I think I mentioned once that we each had bought an Accutron long ago, unbeknownst to the other, and only discovered it in the last year or so) ... when he sees mine, he may be convinced ... don't be surprised ...
Best regards, Art Cooksey
12/25/06 - I received the Accutron yesterday, it looks great. I'm sure my dad

Happy holidays, Mark Kerrigan

THANKS AGAIN, PAUL RICE

12/12/06 - I picked up my Accutron from the post office today. It has almost exactly the same time as my radio controlled watch, so it seems to be keeping good time. Thank you so much, it is great to have my Accutron back.
Mike Nickelson
12/12/06 - Received my 214. It was worth the wait. That watch and the 214 case clock you serviced in June are retired and on display. The other 214 I wear.
Regards, Frank Zeman
12/12/06 - The watch was delivered this afternoon: it is a beauty, and hums very well. I want to thank you for a great service, and the extra battery was a nice touch.
Merci, Jean-Claude Langer

Thank you very much, Bill McGonagle
11/15/06 - My Accutron arrived in good condition and even had the correct time ( plus one hour for DST ). It looks like new.
Thanks, Mark Messinger
11/15/06 - I picked the watch up today at the post office. It is absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!!! I never dreamed that it would turn out this good. I wish now that I would have gone ahead and spent the money to have the back resurfaced. I wanted to preserve that part as my Dad wore the watch from 1964 to 1977 (the year he broke it). It looks like brand new. Too nice to wear!! (but I will anyway). I am really glad that I trusted you and waited so that the restoration was done right. Thanks for the extra battery too.
Bob Chavis
11/14/06 - I received my newly restored Spaceview yesterday. It was great to hear that long silent "hum" through the package even before I opened the box! I want to say how pleased I was with your restoration and how great the watch looks. You are a true artist and I admire how professionally you handled the repair. You preformed the work as stated and returned the watch when promised. Thanks for your efforts and here's hoping you are able to bring back the past and memories for many people long into the future!
Best regards, Arnold Muzzarelli
11/14/06 - The watch arrived today. It looks marvelous. Thank you for a very good job.

I am so glad I found you, and had the nerve to trust you. Thank you for keeping
my worries at bay for all of your prompt replies throughout, and certainly for
earning my profound trust and respect in your workmanship. You’re the Man!

wait. Thank you so much for the great service.
Sincerely, Ray Cellucci
7/17/06 - I received the watch today. It looks outstanding! Great workmanship on your part.
Thanks again, Dennis S. Brewer
7/7/06 - Yes, the watch is here, I've worn it for over 24 hours and it keeps PERFECT time! As I told you before, this watch was a college graduation present for me from my wife in 1970, so it is an interesting, amazing, and unique feeling to wear this watch again for the first time since 1978 when it stopped working. I know it is not a new watch, but it might as well be with its polished gold case, its scratchless crystal, its very bright glow in the dark, and its very strong hum. And after 24 hours it feels as though it never left my arm at all--incredible! Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the result and it has been worth every penny spent to bring it back to excellent condition. Thank you very much for a very professional job.
Yours truly, Barry Slipock
7/5/06 - Wanted to Write and Thank You for the Wonderful Job You did On my 214 Railroad . It Looks As If It Just came out of the Box New in 1963 ! You Do really Good Work . The Long wait was worth it ! look forward to doing Business with you again.
Thank you, Ken Mitchell
7/5/06 - My watch arrived Monday afternoon and looks fantastic! I can’t thank you enough. You’ve done an excellent job, and it looks better than it’s looked in 20 years. It’s great to have my very unique timepiece back again, and I’m wearing it for the first time today because I was rebuilding my rear deck Monday and Tuesday. It used to be my only watch, so I wore it every day and never took it off, even when I was working on a car or doing a project at home, so the watch took an enormous abuse. However, this time I will be much more careful with it because I now have a low-cost Swatch to use while working on cars or doing home projects. Thanks again from a very satisfied customer.
Dave Belo
7/4/06 - I received my Accutron yesterday and the time was right on!! Thanks for everything.
Regards, David Osiecki

Fred Glick
6/26/06 - The watch arrived safely today and I am absolutely delighted. I have given your name to the place that has been servicing my watch (cleaning and batteries) over the years and the people that Bulova told to tell me to buy a new watch. I hope this will be a source of new business for you. Thanks for everything.
David Dodge
6/26/06 - Received my Accutron today and I am thrilled to see it humming along! It looks darn good for being 35 years old! Thanks for the doing a great job on the repair. I'm sure I will be very happy with the way it runs.
Richard Kesler

5/15/06 - The Accutron arrived today, and I am wearing it as I write this note of thanks. As you said, it is humming along. To say that I am pleased, is an understatement. Thank you very much.
Nick Caprinolo
5/3/06 - I picked up my watch today and it is stunning , you did an excellent job of polishing the case, it makes the watch appear as new. It was a long wait and not cheap but the end result was more then worth it, you did a very nice job , I'm very pleased , Thank You!!
Tom Maloney
5/2/06 - I received the watch and am thrilled with it. Has been humming along all night. It looks great, much better then when I sent it to you. I appreciate the work you did on it. Will send it in to you once every couple of years for a tune up. In the meantime, thank you very much.
Regards, Roxanne Price
5/1/06 - My Accutron arrived home today. I'm wearing the watch as I send this email back to you...it is "humming" perfectly and looks terrific. Please know how very much I have appreciated your great care and service of this most treasured (and working again) personal keepsake. I feel especially fortunate as the entire experience from our first email correspondence, exchange of Holiday notes, and your regular updates -- ALL have been exceptional and also wonderfully personal throughout. Thank you so very much. Take care and Best Wishes.
Tom Emling

Joseph Nadalet
4/18/06 - I received it today. As we’ve said in my business for years, you can get it done fast or you can get it done right. It seems to be working great. I’m happy that someone still knows how to repair Accutron clocks. Thanks for care and service.
Ed Wojtaszek
4/18/06 - My Accutron arrived safely yesterday afternoon. You are truly an engineer and a craftsman !!! and your level of customer service is second to none. Thank you very much.
David Sharer
4/17/06 - Got the watch this afternoon, pulled two links out of the band so it would fit my son's wrist, and set it for Pacific Standard Time. We're very pleased . . . many thanks!
John Hazlet
4/17/06 - I received the watch today. It looks great. Many thanks.
Robert Fitzgerald
4/11/06 - Watch is humming along nicely as it has arrived and doing well. Very good work, watch looks impeccable. In the future, I will send you another Accutron for service.
Once again, thank you. Franklin Monjarrez
4/10/06 - My wife picked up the Accutron on Thursday and I flew down to Washington for the weekend on Friday, so I have the watch now. I am very pleased with the way it looks (and of course I am pleased that it is humming). I know it had some scratches that were quite deep (I wore it every day for years), but it really looks very good now. While you had it I also obtained an original Kreisler "coffin link" stainless steel band which suits it much better, I think, than the Flix-o-Flex that I used for years. It did take a while, but I appreciate the quality of the work you did, and I will be sure to treat the watch as an heirloom and a collector's item henceforth. Of course I plan to wear it sometimes, but I will be treating it with extra care. thanks and regards,
Paul Didrikson
4/5/06 - The watch arrived a couple of days ago, sorry for the delay in telling you this. It works, thanks for fixing it. Now I have to get a good band to wear with it.
Regards, Ken Nyirady
4/4/06 - My 214 arrived home yesterday. To say I'm pleased is hardly the way I'd put it. It looks great. Took it to work today to show some people who know about them. Thanks very much for the high quality work you did in restoring my Accutron. I'm sure you'll see it again, hopefully just for a cleaning and tune up.
Robert Hudson
4/4/06 - My Astronaut landed safely yesterday. I'm very pleased with the end result, and thank you for everything. Your passion for these 214's is evidenced by your workmanship, and you can count on my future business.
Best regards, Steve Liska
4/1/06 - Just picked it out of my mail box 10 minutes ago. It looks absolutely mint... like the day I first wore it 34 years ago. Beautiful job Martin. The watch band just barely fits my enormous wrist. I'm in the very last hole but it seems OK. Thanks for everything.
Marc Hertzberg
3/31/06 - The watch arrived safely and has been running great since it arrived. Time keeping is excellent. I am glad to have this watch restored for its sentimental value ( even though the restoration may have been expensive.) The watch was the gift from my Father when I graduated from college. We couldn't afford new cars, world cruises or much of anything else, so the watch was it. This makes its sentimental value even more. The quality of work is excellent. You did what you said you would, charged what you said you would, and delivered the final product when you said you would. This is quite rare and unusual in today's world. Thanks for the good work. You have another satisfied customer.
Jamie Mills
3/24/06 - I apologize for the delay. I received the watch last week. It is beautifaul and seems to be running fine. Once again, thank you very much.
Randy Ring
3/11/06 - Just a note to let you know that the 2 Accutrons arrived in fine condition. They look and perform just great.

3/8/06 - I picked up my Accutron at the post office this morning. I unwrapped it and found the sweep second hand gliding around the dial. It appears to be keeping perfect time. I love having this old crock back on my wrist. Many thanks for a good job.
Arthur Einstein Jr.
3/6/06 - The Accutron arrived today and it looks great. I can't even remember the last time it was working - maybe been dead for 7 or 8 years. It was my Father's every day watch so it has much sentimental value. Thanks.
Tony Wood
2/23/06 - My husband received the watch last night. The watch is running smoothly and accurately. Thank you. I am please with the service you provided.
Mary Sue Butler
2/22/06 - I have received my accutrons safely and in beautiful condition. Thank you very much for all your good work. I must say I am very impressed with your professionalism and the meticulous way you go about your business. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to doing business with you again.
Best Regards, Michael Dodge
2/22/06 - Received my timepiece back yesterday with no damage in transit. WOW!!! This is much more than I expected. I am wearing it at work today and everyone wonders how it works and can't believe how old it is. Now, I am considering collecting Accutrons as another hobby of mine. As an electrical engineer, I can appreciate how this design became so unique yet straightforward. Just think of a single transistor circuit in an analog watch versus the millions of them in an Intel chip 40 years later.
Your work is outstanding and I am grateful to you for keeping these timepieces going. With the "retro" craze, just having one makes me go back to 1968 when I was 8 years old and saw my first 214. My cousin had one and my Mom asked me to play the piano key corresponding to the hum of the watch. I believe that 360 Hz is B minus below middle C. It's amazing what you remember as a kid.
Please feel free to use my testimonial on your web site or elsewhere.
Thanks again!
Brian Mugalian
2/22/06 - Got the watch. Looks great. Thanks for your work!!
Robert Caldwell

Fausto Vitello
2/7/06 - This morning I received my restored Accutron, it was humming nicely and correctly registered time in Marblehead! A quick adjustment changed to Mountain Time and it was ready to go! Thank you for your fine work, the watch looks just like it did in 1965, I did notice that I can't hear the hum like I used to, but that I believe is my 58 year old ears.
Thanks again, David C. Gray
2/6/06 - My Hummer arrived at 3:20PM. The Postman asked if it was another Railroad watch. (I collect them) I said, "Yes, but put the box up to your ear and listen to this one," as I handed the box back to him. I had to spend ten minutes explaining to him about Acutrons. He is y9ung and was facinated by it. He had heard of them, but never heard one hum. I had to open the box and let him see it. It's nice to have the hummer on my wrist again. The wait was more than worth it.
The very best regards, Jack Callison
2/6/06 - Thank you, sir! It arrived in today's mail, and I'm very pleased with your work. Long may you flourish!
Best regards, DE Bynum

Hal Sloan
1/23/06 - I'm having the same sensations I experienced in 1967 when I exited from a jewelry store in Baton Rouge with the 214 on my wrist. And now the familiar humming sound I will hear when I put it on the dresser this evening. You have reason to be very proud. You are thorough, fair, and an extremely talented individual. My watch will be in your hands when it needs the doctors attention!! Thanks...as the Italians say: milled grazie e tanto buone cose!!
Ron Moon
1/23/06 - The watch arrived this afternoon in good order. It looks fantastic! Thank you.

Lance Binns
1/22/06 - I received it. It looks great and and everything is working fine. Thanks.
Arnold Kiburz
1/9/06 - I received my watch in today's mail. I was very pleased with the
watch. I have to tell you, I have not seen this watch look like this almost
since the day I bought it the end of 1964. You have done a beautiful job on
restoring the watch to it's original beauty. When I put it on my wrist, it felt
good. By this I mean I had worn this watch for close to 40 years day in and day
out and when I put it on today, it made me feel good. It's as if it is not
there.
Again Martin, I have to commend you on your work and you were right. I am very
pleased with how the watch looks. It almost looks, and this is a long time ago,
like when I first bought it. I had forgotten the beauty of this watch, but until
today when I put it on, everything felt good.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Ernie Malnar
1/9/06 - My watch arrived at my son's house and he says it's running just fine. I will not see it until April when I get back home.

Jay Baker
1/4/06 - I just picked up my watch at the PO. All I can say is WOW! Nice job all the way around. The buff on the case made a big difference. The new/old crystal looks great. And the update on the luminous was HUGE!
Stephen Brunmeier
1/3/06 - The watch arrived today and looks beautiful. It was among my favorite uncle's possessions when he went into a nursing home, and now that he is gone, I will treasure it as a daily reminder of him. Thank you.

Thanks - Bob Salsman
12/21/05 - received the Accutron on Monday evening -- looks great and seems to be running just fine (my 8-year old (a promising engineer or architect we hope) was very impressed by the sweep hand and the humming...). You are a true craftsman! (and it was well worth the wait). I appreciate your work and your communications -- hope you have a happy holiday.
Best, Rick Pullano

Happy holidays--Ron Cram
11/9/05 - Received my 214 and it has been running great from day one. It didn't look like the same watch, everyone that has seen it thinks it's new and when I tell them how old it is they can't believe it. Great job! Regards and a Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Dean Messer
12/7/05 - I received the watch on Monday. It works! Also, thanks for generally cleaning it and removing the corrosion spot on one of the hands. I enjoyed the NY Times article and will send it to my Dad, who gave me the watch.

11/23/05 - I received my watch today. I am very happy with it. I pulled up the detailed pictures I had taken of the watch before I sent it to you. Wow, what an improvement! The watch looks new, and the luminous paint looks great in the dark. I inherited the Spaceview from my Dad after he died. Now I will have a functional reminder of him wherever I go. Thank you so much,

secure and no damage.
Thanks, Kevin Winton

Thanks again...your workmanship is incredible.

Ed Kerkhoven
8/27/05 - First off I would like to thank you for your dedication to a fine craftsmanship of service to the Bulova Accutron. I feel like my Accutron is as fine as BRAND NEW. The hum of the tuning fork can be heard through out the room when I place it on the dresser when not being worn. It is a sound that is not duplicated by anything but an Accutron. I am very proud of my 214 and it will be passed on someday to my son as a genuine timepiece of our time and era. Thank you again for your service.
Sid Brown

8/10/05 - All I can say is WOW. Wearing my Accutron right now. It is really great to have it back. It arrived in excellent shape, no problems and is running beautifully. Thanks for the excellent communication throughout the process as to the status of my watch. This is excellent customer service.
Thanks again, Christopher Peters
8/1/05 - My accutron arrived today (Monday). It is indeed good to have an old friend back on my arm. I was also happy through your web site to learn more about these amazing watches. Thank you
Eugene Dobbs
8/1/05 - I just got my watch and it is beautiful. Too bad there is not a “new
old stock” day/night bezel to replace the one on my watch. My wife says that
the bezel has “patina”. This watch did receive rough use when I got it 31
years ago. Take care,
Rick Powell
8/1/05 - Received the watch in the mail at 2:00 PM today (8/1/05) and am wearing it. An absolutely outstanding and beautiful piece of workmanship on your part. Thanks for your continued contacts on keeping me appraised of the progress. Obviously an honorable man who meets all his commitments. If I ever have a problem, your name is on file. Thanks again,
Leland Clark
7/23/05 - Got the watch and it looks great and is running great. Thanks for all your help. Best Regards,
Tim Oliver.
7/20/05 - Got it yesterday, looks great, keeping good time so far. BTW, do you know how loud, in dB, an accutron is? I know the freq is 360hz, and in the good old days docs used mechanical watches as a quick hearing screening test. Thanks again
Larry Welling
7/19/05 - My thanks for your excellent work. My watch returned home safely today and I wanted to let you know that it did arrive.

John Brockway

Bob Renneker
5/24/05 - My Accutron arrived yesterday. It was great to get it back in good working order and looking like new. I've worn the watch for 42 years and expect that it will now outlast me. Thanks so much for your work on it.
Richard Hahn
5/21/05 - Thank you so much for your excellent service as well as your attention to detail, including keeping me informed as to the progress of the restoration/repair and the shipment. The watch looks like new, glows in the dark better than when it was new, and sounds like music to my ears. Hopefully, it runs as good as new. In fact, I am confident that due to your perfectionist nature, it is and will continue to run better than new for some time to come. Thank you for all of your care and excellent work. I would highly recommend you to any and all of my friends who own Accutron Watches.
Steven Sousa
5/11/05 - The watch has arrived and it is working beautifully! I'm just sorry I didn't find you sooner...it would have saved me $300 in repairs that didn't work. If you need me as a testimonial...let me know!

Thanks,
Bryan Pease
4/11/05 - Got my watch in the mail this afternoon. Looks good, sounds good and appears to be right on with respect to the time. Thanks for going the extra mile and repairing the snap on the band. As far as I'm concerned that was "over and above" and I really do appreciate it.
Miles N. Barter
4/7/05 - Beautiful job. I have to wonder if it looked that good the day it left the factory. Thanks again.
Kimber Heddens
4/6/05 - Wanted to let you know that I received my Accutron today. It was well worth the wait. What a thrill! The watch looks like brand new! It's nice to know that there still some true craftsman around in this age of "throwaway". I own numerous watches, even a Rol___, but I am looking forward to wearing this watch on a regular basis. Nothing, no matter what the cost, seens to get the attention that these 214's get. Thanks again.
Dennis Toub

Thank you so much for sending my watch home in excellent working order !! I will not hesitate to contact you in the future. Thanks Again !!!
Joe Yoakum
2/1/05 - Received the watch yesterday all in good order. Everything seems to be just perfect with it.
Jim Endres
2/1/05 - The Astronaut has landed back home yesterday. It's performing it's mission flawlessly on my wrist now! This could only be accomplished with the help of a top notch, dedicated ground crew - YOU! I forgot the fascination of the sweep second hand moving smoothly around the dial. It is hypnotic and makes you realize that time keeps on flowing by. You did an excellent job in getting my watch back in tip top shape and I truly appreciate it. The watch brings back fond memories. Thanks again,
Ron Zak
2/1/05 - I received my watch yesterday. You have done an excellent job with the renovation. Not only does it seem to be running well, but you've done an excellent job restoring its original appearance. I'm glad I decided to have to have you do the casework...you've recovered nearly all the years of wear and neglect. In addition, the work on the chapter ring and hands turned out very well. I'm thrilled to have this watch back and humming...it looks as good as the day I purchased it. Thanks for the excellent work.
Bob Cisek
1/31/05 - I just received the watch and it is humming along at the correct time just like it’s supposed to. It’s great to have my old friend back again. Thanks for such a fine job.
John Valentine

Jim Brunini
1/17/05 - Got my Accutron in today's mail. It's humming and looks as good as the day I bought it over thirty years ago. Thank you. It's good to know that there are still some master craftsmen around. Keep up the good work. Again, thanks for giving my old Accutron new life.
Bill Reynolds .

12/28/04 - I haven't had time to email, but I received my watch in the mail last week. I wrapped it up and gave it to my son Christmas Eve. It was an immediate hit. He took off his Hamilton Ventura and put on the Accutron. Thanks for fixing this family keepsake and I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Bruce Cross
12/20/04 - I received my watch today at 1:30 pm, thank you very much you did
an excellent job. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Roger Antaya
12/12/04 - I received my Hummer a few days ago, and it's running well. Thank you for servicing it, and I appreciate the fact that you kept in communication with me about it through the process. It made it much easier for me to trust that I would get it back and that I was dealing with an honest person.
Mark Shimmelman
12/8/04 - Martin: I received my Accutron 214 today in great shape. I have reset it to the local time and so far so good. Yes I am pleased. It is like being reunited with a very old friend (a unique and trustworthy one). This watch went through a lot with me over the years. Starting from high school graduation to a stint in the Navy in Vietnam, several jobs, meeting my wife, creation of a family and career, etc., in essence most of my life experiences. I'm hoping that it will be with me for many more to come. Thank you for your excellent communications as this repair process evolved. Have a wonderful Christmas, and a great new year.
Best Regards, Carl Novotny
12/8/04 - Martin, Thank you so much for the watch. I have been swamped with a newborn, but wanted to let you know that it looks great and I can't wait to give it to him. I am looking for the right box now.
Lisa Riggins
12/6/04 - I received my watch today in excellent shape. I placed a new leather band on her and it looks great! humming away just like the old days. Thank you so much for the excellent repair, and hope we can do business in the future.
Happy holidays, George Hawley
11/30/04 - I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how pleased I've been with the repair work that you did for me on my Spaceview and astronaut. The restored dials look great and 'glow' through out the night. I've been particularly impressed with the astronaut's time keeping, as I have a GPS clock that I compare it with and it will run within a second or two per month with the GPS clock. The Spaceview isn't quite that accurate, but is doing very well. Keep up the excellent work and if/when I need any servicing on my watches or I find a 'new' one, I'll be sure to get in contact with you.
Best regards, Doug Seims
11/23/04 - The watch was waiting when I went home yesterday (Monday). How wonderfull it is to have it back for Thanksgiving!!! Thanks again for all your good work.
Ralph Scott
11/22/04 - Watch: Arrived today, Monday November 22nd Looks Good. Thanks.
Roger Trombley
11/22/04 - My Accutron arrived in good shape today. Thanks for a great job!
John Graf
11/12/04 - I just received the watch, and it looks great! Also, initial checking of the timing looks good. All-in-all the experience wasn't too bad. The hard part was not knowing your work, but I'm pleased with the outcome. Good to have the watch back! Thanks.
Mike Sandler
11/11/04 - I received the watch. It looks and runs great. Thanks.
Jerry McDonald
11/11/04 - I received my refurbished Spaceview and am very pleased with the quality of work! The watch looks and runs better than it ever has. Hopefully it won't need your services again for decades. Thanks,

Alan Nixon
10/27/04 - I just wanted to let you know that my father received his watch and was floored by it. He hadn't been able to wear it for some years prior to you fixing it.

Dennis White

Tom Fortenberry
10-15/04 - I've been wearing the Accutron for over a week now - and it has performed flawlessly - even aboard several airflights (pressurization changes used to affect it...)Thanks again,
Fred Klein
10/8/04 - I'VE BEEN TIMING THE ACCUTRON AGAINST MY "ATOMIC CLOCK". IT'S RIGHT ON THE NUT! I EXPECT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT BUT THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE YOUR GOOD WORK. THANKS A LOT.
BOB WENGLER
10/7/04 - My "new" Accutron Astronaut is beautiful. After 30 years of use you have restored it to it's original beauty and made it the family heirloom I intended it to be. I am grateful I found you and learned that you are knowledgeable, meticulous and a true craftsman in the restoration of the 214. As a coincidence I received my restored watch the same day I heard the news that Scott Carpenter had passed away. He was one of my heroes and I always told people that he proudly wore an Accutron Astronaut as noted on your web site.
Mark Johnson
10/6/04 - My Accutron watch arrived in the mail yesterday, safe, sound, and displaying the right time! It really looks wonderful -- you did a terrific job. For such a long time, I thought I never would see it working again. I am so glad to have learned on the Internet about you and the great work you do with these watches. Everyone to whom I have showed my restored watch thinks it's pretty cool! I look forward to enjoying it for a long time to come. Thank you for everything you have done -- all just how and when you promised.
Scott McSween
10/5/04 - The watch arrived safely. Looks great and is running well. Thanks so much for your quality work.
Scott Kribbs
10/5/04 - I just want to say THANKS for a job well done. It was worth the wait - You should know that you are restoring more than electronic timepieces. In my case you've revived many fond memories of times gone by - almost 40 years gone by - weddings, births, good times and sad times. No wonder why they call watches "timekeepers".
Fred Klein
9/14/04 - You are truly an artist! I picked up my watch this A.M. and it
feels like an old friend has come home. The wait was well worth it
( now that its over). One question: the watch looks so good that I'm considering
replacing the band with an original metal one. Availability? Cost? Please let me
know.
Bruce Gordon
Original band availability is practically nil. There simply aren't enough bands to keep up with the demand.
9/14/04 - I recieved my watch today. Thank you so much for the repair. I am going to keep it for a long time and hopefully pass it on to my son. Thank you again.
Gayla Struck
9/13/04 - Thank you for all of your time and effort. The watch is running and humming away perfectly.
Clay Conrad
9/11/04 - I received my old friend today! I would like to thank you very much for the excellent workmanship, the watch is as if I walked out of the jewelers with my father on Feb. 1965. If you ever need a letter of recommendation, please contact me, YOUR SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION was appreciated.
Joe Kontos
9/6/04 - I continuously forget, when on-line, to inform you that the watch had arrived safely a week ago, thank you it is working fine. Most pleased that you are available, competent, and care for our memories.
Best, Arthur Karpfe
9/2/04 - I received my watch today and am very pleased with your work. Thanks for your help.
Ken Ricketson
8/31/04 - I received my Accutron yesterday. It looks great! Just like a new one. I will be proud to wear this watch and show it off as one of just a few. Thanks for a quality job and excellent service. You kept me informed via E-mail throughout the process. Thanks again.
Jim Stickley
8/31/04 - Got my Spaceview back today in the mail. Looks great! Seems to be running like new. Will let you know if there are any issues. Not expecting any. You have performed exactly as you stated in your emails to me and on your website. Will not hesitate to use your services in the future, will also be glad to refer any other Accutron owner to you. Thank you again for resurrecting my old friend.
Dan Thompson
8/24/04 - Please feel free to use my name/email as a reference if you wish.
I'm extremely pleased with your work. Thanks again.
Steve Stroschein
8/4/04 - The watch has arrived and it is beautiful, hasn't ever looked this nice. Thanks again.
Al Rheinnecker
7/27/04 - Just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with your work. My Accutron came back looking much better than it did when I sent it to you and believe it or not I think it keeps better time now than it did when it was new.
Thanks, Larry Ordway
7/27/04 - The clock arrived yesterday, and is running on "Accutron" time. Thanks for the great work, it must be fun (and a pain at times) to work on these. I know regular watches are when I work on them. I will send the other one shortly.
Jim Madrid
7/16/04 - The watch arrived humming and with perfect time. Thank You
John Tachuk
7/14/04 - Picked up my watch from post office this morning. Looks and runs fine. Thanks for taking such good care of it. I can now hand it down to my Grandson (Not for a while though).
Bruce Cross
7/13/04 - The watches arrived yesterday in great condition, the box looked like it had never even traveled through the mail. I'm very pleased with the job that you did and the wait, for me, was not an issue at all. I usually like to get my service work done at a place that makes you wait, as that's usually a good sign their service is top notch vs. a place that can get you in right away. I'd like to get an Accutron clock yet, so if I run across one, I'll see when I can get on your service list again. Thanks again for and excellent job!
Doug Siems
7/1/04 - My father received his watch late last week. It's running perfectly and he is delighted. Thank you for everything. I don't know if it will last another 35 years before it needs further repair, but I will keep your email address handy. Thanks again,
Joe Yurkonis
6/27/04 - I RECEIVED THE WATCH TODAY. LOOKS GREAT! MY FATHER IN LAW WILL BE THRILLED WHEN HE SEE'S IT. THE WATCH MEANS A LOT TO HIM. I NOW KNOW WHERE TO SEND MY 214 FOR ANY MAINTENANCE !!

I appreciate the expert craftsmanship you have performed in repairing and restoring the 214. Many, many thanks. I hope you will still be performing your service should my watch ever need repair again. The process was worth the wait.

3/30/04 - The Accutron came today. It's running great and looks like you polished it a bit too. The enclosed sheet with the instructions for setting the time was also helpful. The process, while time consuming, was worth it. I now know where to take the watch the next time it needs service. Very professional job.
