Not trying to knock on Otto Friedl inside the basement of the Hotel Vancouver, but I find that their rates are somewhat absurd for what they do.

Yes, they can repair nice watches, but on the flip side, they charge a lot of money for a whole lot of nothing. There are better alternatives out there. They wanted minimum $700 to perform a basic service on a watch that I have, when in turn, the manufacturer's cost was $450. Go there for a second opinion and then make the decision afterwards. I'm sure they do excellent work from all the feedback that is out there.
