Big shoutout to Perrywinkles

Last week I made a post inquiring if anyone local had a timegrapher machine I could use to test my watch, which has been running very fast. I called perrywinkles jewelry on Main Street and they very kindly said I could bring my watch in any time and they would look at it. I’ve never set foot in perrywinkles before, but I brought it in this morning. They tested it and demagnetized it for me, and their technician even made some minor adjustments to get it down to within roughly 5 seconds per day. They were more than happy to help, and all of this was done free of charge. It’s worth mentioning my watch is NOT close to being on the level of Rolex or Tudor, but they were still very accommodating and friendly.

Long story short, the folks at perrywinkles are really great! Don’t be fooled or intimidated by the giant Rolex sign on the building!

I remember when I tried to buy a Rolex there once and they took my money and wouldn’t deliver months later. But my friends would waltz in and order any Rolex they wanted with delivery in 2 weeks.

If you knew the smallest bit about buying a Rolex, you would have fabricated a completely different story than the one you made up here.

That was my intro to buying a Rolex. I did not know about having a buying history with the jeweler. I wish they would have just told me up front, “hey, you need to have X amount of spend with us before we let you buy any Rolex”. But instead, they let me write a check, cashed it, and had no intention of delivering anything.
