I'm surprised a Rolex needs to be repaired. Guess my impression of them was faulty.(as you can tell, I'm not part of the 39% either)

When I was helping a friend buy an expensive ring, I was surprised that even the supposedly reputable jewelry dealers will cheat Florida out of the sales tax by agreeing to ship an empty box to an out-of-state address to avoid charging sales tax to the Villages customer.

Bob's Coin & Jewelry, Inc. 352-347-7900 across from Walmart on 441 Summerfield. Is my new go to.
Gold & Art on 466 broke my second hand, they fixed it when I took it back the next day. Few years later, broke again. took it to Jewelry Design Next to Belks & Bath & Body 441. they sent it out and got a Quote of over $200. 00, Hell no. Was getting Dog food next door to Bob's Coin & Jewelry went in there and they fixed the second hand (that was touching the other hands.) wait for it. FOR FREE!!! They have Beautiful Jewelry too!

Please try Vintage Time Shop on 441/27. Call Patrick at (353) 502-1891. I believe he is an authorized Rolex repair guy.

I used Jewelry Design to repair my Rolex and was very satisfied with the work and the friendliness of Jack. He did have to order parts but that did not delay the repair by any significant time.Have recommended him to many friends.

There is also a Bob's jewelry I believe it is behind McDonald's on 441. For some reason they charge $20 for a battery for a watch. I expressed my discern to no avail. Later I bought five batteries from Amazon for less than $3. I just thought this was a little out of sort.

Gold-in-Art will give you a free battery and install for free.

Rolex is on the low end of the spectrum for time pieces. Stainless is a great eveyday watch, nothing special. I value my dads time pieces so much more than my stainless

Standard practice When shopping in Europe, every store offers to ship box and paper work.

Time pieces need maintenance & cleaned. Just like your car need an oil change. always had a storage vault at reputable jeweler for my parent s time pieces.
Safe and convenient

I don't know about Europe, but there is a 7 percent sales tax in Florida that the jeweler is required to collect from a local customer. But, in this case, the jeweler ordered the ring from the manufacturer, and when it arrived, they removed the ring from the box, and shipped the empty box to an out-of-state address, and did not collect any sales tax from the local customer. So, they cheated Florida out of the sales tax by pretending that the ring was sold to an out-of-state customer, when in fact, the ring was actually sold to a local customer.

Used to be a common practice nation wide... But they've changed the requirements to collect sales tax on mail orders, so much of that "cheating" has stopped...

What services have you used Gold in Art for? We're pretty new in TV and I'm looking for a jeweler to service a Tag watch and buy some new jewelry. Thanks.
