Horologist
I’m hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I wear a wrist watch that I have had for 45 years. I bought it in SE Asia while in the USMC. It still works great, but needs a bit of refurbishing. I used Ingram’s in LaMarque for ages for watch repair, but Mr. Ingram has retired. I need a good repairman in the Galveston County area. I am very fond of this watch and wouldn’t trust the work to anyone that I don’t have good recommendations for. Not an expensive watch. I paid about $12.50 for it, but the sentimental value is… well, I want it treated well.

Re: Horologist
It's not Galveston County, but I'd take it to The Watch little Shop on Shepherd in Houston. That watch certainly has a lot of sentimental value and these folks are great.Commander Cody wrote:I’m hoping someone can lead me in the right direction.
