Mountain Time Watch Co. — Local services in Grand Junction

Went to get a new band. Band was fine, owner said my battery was going. He said he could change it. Told him Shinola said I had to sent it to them for such service. Owner told me he could do it. Well he took the back off and I guess it was beyond his skill set. He did not change the battery. Worn it a few times, went down by the river and now there is moisture in my watch.
