I called last week and scheduled an appt to get a watch appraised yesterday! Mark was a delight to work with. Knowledgeable on the industry and the brand of watch I brought in. He was quick and thorough and made me feel appreciated as a customer.

Would definitely do business with Watson and Son again!

Thanks, Mark!

Mark Watson was amazing! I was working with a family after their mother had passed. She had a beautiful collection and we needed all of it appraised so it could be passed on to the siblings equitably. Mark painstakingly studied each piece, gave us a fair market value and documented absolutely everything. What was expected to be a contentious duel amongst the siblings ended up being so straightforward and easy because of his expertise, professionalism and documentation of everything. I think the siblings were shocked it went so well. 5 stars isn't enough! He is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. I recommend him without hesitation!

What a wonderful experience. I was recommended to Watson & Son for a jewelry repair by another jewelry store in the city. I have a very old Edwardian ring with mine cut diamonds where a few of the stones had come loose. Mark was very professional through the entire process. He photographed the ring and was detailed about the necessary repair. I felt safe leaving my piece with him. I received an electronic quote and within weeks my ring was restored to new! I live out of town and Mark overnighted the ring to me. Thank you Mark!
