Thank you so much!!! This business is a great example of a small town gem! I say this because of the wonderful customer service always present in this establishment. I came in for a watch repair. I was quickly and politely taken care of. Please take the time to get to know this business and keep your dollars local.

Lots of cool stuff! Prices seem reasonable. Definitely worth checking out. Don't bring jewelry to sell. They offer half of what everyone else offers.
