0After reading all the gleaming reviews, I decided to take my beloved watch here. BIG MISTAKE! I brought my Squale 1521 in to get the bezel switched out. The watch was near mint condition, I just wanted a change of color. Guido picked it up and said, "This is a very nice watch." I said thank you and explained that I just needed a new bezel put on and a light scratch on the lug buffed out. He then held the watch by the Isofrane strap and tugged until he ripped the strap off the case. This was very careless and I should've listened to my gut and taken my watch and ran. I guess I was duped by all the certifications on the wall. He then said the old bezel may get damaged or warped when removing, which I said was OK even though it is $150 and difficult to obtain, since I was replacing it. I called a couple hours later to see if it was ready. He said that he couldn't do it. I said no problem, I'll come pick it up. When I arrived, he handed me my watch and parts and said I should send it to the manufacturer b/c he couldn't get it off. He handed me a dirty, smudgy, gouged, scratched up watch and never indicated anything was wrong. There were several gouges and deep scratches around the bezel where he tried to get it off. I was shocked at the damage he caused. I told him I brought it here b/c I thought he had specialized tools and thought he was a professional. Even an amateur would know to tape the case to prevent damage. I said, What the F did you do to my watch? He casually said he tried to get off the bezel, but couldn't b/c it wasn't a real watchmaker case. He then said, I told you I may damage it. NO, he said the old bezel could be damaged, not the case. I told him he just destroyed a $1000 dollar watch and he then said, "Must've been a good salesman." Wow, now he wants to insult my watch after destroying it. If you're not familiar with Squale, it's a very renowned watchmaker and especially known for providing cases to other high end watchmakers. His ignorance clearly showing now. Only after telling him I was going to write a bad review did he offer to buff out the scratches. I told him to F off and that I would never let him touch it again since he is so incompetent. He then said he was going to write a bad review for me too. OK crazy. If you care for watch, DO NOT bring it here.
Great GCA refurbished my father's old watch I tried many places before none of them could do it and GCA did great!!
