Philadelphia Area Rolex Certified Watchmaker

I don't know if that is even a thing. I know CW-21 is a rare certification. Wondering if anyone knows of such a person that could regulate my watch while I wait. It's still under warranty; fairly certain regulation is it. I don't want to part with it again. Thanx

Contact the local AD's. Many have in house Rolex certified watchmakers who can do this while you wait. The bigger ones are most likely planning on participating in the CPO program, and that requires them to hire watchmakers. My AD has always had watchmakers on staff.

Thanx for the help. Whittle I saw. From what I understand very limited work hours. Never returned my call. I did stop by once and there was a water main break and big hoses from water dept. coming out of his shop. I figured probably not the best time. I called down to Radcliff in DE. Was initially told April for in house watchmaker. Now being told November.

Highly suggest using an AD watchmaker for any watch under warranty. If a non-Rolex watchmaker opens it, that would void the warranty.

Your watch might be magnetized. Could be an easy fix.

Stopped by whittles with a buddy who needed a new battery a few years ago. He was, shockingly, open and replaced the battery free of charge and quickly. Nice guy.
Bernie Robbins used to have a watchmaker on site, then they moved locations and ended that, now they’re not even an AD.

Govberg in Suburban Sq has a watchmaker on site (I believe)

Really? They're fairly local to me, and I've been in. I have two Tudors (925 and GMT) just a year old, and both recently have gone from running +1 or 2 to -6 to 8! No idea why. Don't feel like being without them for months, as I already have a DSSD at RSC NY almost 8 weeks now for the 32XX virus.

I'm not having good luck with watches lately.

Murphy Jewelers in Allentown has an in-house Rolex trained watchmaker. Lovely people.

You could also check out http://chronotekinc.com. in Souderton Pa. I believe they have a number of CW-21 certified watchmakers.

Benari in Exton has a Rolex watchmaker on site and a work area. They’ve regulated for me in the past.
