I brought my Citizen echo drive watch there because it stopped running & I thought it needed a new battery. They charged me $90. for this kind of battery & $15. to replace it. Called me a week later to let know it was done. I went to pick it up & nothing was set. Yes, it's difficult to set everything. But I even brought them the book that came w/ my watch to follow the directions & they couldn't do it. I brought it home & called Citizen watch co & the first thing they said to me was, you never have to replace that battery & if I would have put my watch in the sun for a few hrs, it would have been back up running perfect. Citizen walked me through resetting everything step by step & everything was perfect. Just for the heck of it, I looked up the battery for my watch & then I got mad. The battery I was charged $90. for, could be bought for $5. to $10. I charged way too much money for this battery. If it was even replaced. Who knows. Maybe they just put my watch under a light for a few hrs. I definitely would not bring a fancy watch to this place for service. And don't trust what they charge...

His ideas were so similar to mine and his first drawings nailed it!! He is an artist and went beyond anything I could have hoped for. My ring is perfect in every way. Do not hesitate to use Helman Cortes for any of your jewelry needs. He is wonderful. I highly recommend him with no reservations! You will be glad you did. I would give 10...
