What a find Yakov Barats is! Ever since Bernard’s was closed, I never could find a new place for repairs and watch battery replacement, until today. Yakov is even better! From a kiosk at the mall, he does quality repairs and adjustments, in my case while I waited. My old Swiss watch had quit weeks after I had the battery replaced elsewhere. Yakov explained my options clearly, with all pertinent details, from trying another battery to replacing the movement, starting with the battery. When I said that sounded reasonable, he replied, “It is!” Then he opened the watch and replaced the battery, hit it with some compressed air, and the watch came back to life. All for less than what I had paid to replace the battery a month before, which took 2 weeks because it had to be sent out. Barats Jewelry Repair is the real deal, I went there with a broken watch and another watch that needed links removed, and in less than 10 minutes I had two fully functioning, perfectly fitting watches for less than a pair of matinee movie tix. So nice to have a really positive...
Read moreFor watch service, I have never had it done so expertly, so efficiently, so fast while I wait, and at reasonable price: such as a watch band that really fits, a battery change, or a good cleaning so the watch runs on time. Then for a tricky job that no one else would touch, he simply does not give up, and finally gets it right. Didn’t charge until he had it fixed. That job was a small clock that was fit into too small a space, and the hands touched the crystal. I got it (broken) on ebay, and it was really nice to get it working perfectly.
When my old Seiko finally got too worn, I bought a much cheaper brand that gave me what I wanted, and more. The jewelry in his case is exquisite, you can find astonishing pieces you probably will see no where else. A vast array of gorgeous stones and designs.
Here is a professional who delivers all he promises. Honest, experienced, reliable, and determined to please. I think he likes a challenge. Once you find him, you will never go anywhere else….And the location, very...
Read moreI recently came to Barats Jewlery Repair to resize my engagement ring and was extremely pleased with great service and quality of their work. In three places I went to before I came here, I was told my ring has to be sent away for resizing. However, being a cautious person, I did not feel comfortable sending my ring away. When I came to Barats Jewelry Repair I was told that it will only take 20 minutes to adjust my ring. They resized it right in front of me within minutes, gave it for me to try on, did some more minor adjustments to make sure it fits well on my finger and I was all set! The ring has no marks on it from the work done and looks as if it has never been touched before! They also cleaned it for me and it looked even better than it did the day I got it! Barats Jewelry Repair is fast, efficient, and has great service! If you are looking for good quality at best price - this...
