Corwins Jewelers - Southampton Allen Fein: Brought my watch for repair of a loose dial. They fixed that, but the week afterward, the watch minute and hour hands froze up a couple times. I returned the watch and they observed the watch for a few days and the problem did not occur, so the watch was returned to me without anything done. The watch hands froze up again twice this week and again I returned to the Southampton store for the same problem. The store people told me they were going to watch the watch to see if there was a problem. I have photos of the frozen watch hands but that was not enough to convince them! Then they said they would send it out again and get me an estimate for the repair, at my cost!! I have always had this watch repaired at Southampton’s London Jewelers without any quality issues, but at the time I sought out help from Corwin’s, my “go to” place was closed. One star for Corwin for terrible customer service, and waste of my time over multiple trips there. They claim the intervention to fix the dial had nothing at all to do with the hands freezing the week after their repair man fiddled with the piece. I simply to not accept this failure to make things right and will never use nor recommend doing business with Corwin again. One hour later addendum: Corwin messaged me to let me know that my initial payment of $85 is going to be refunded to me. Note that I was repeatedly clear about the watch intermittently stopped and gets going when I reset the hands. At no time did Corwin tell me that they would pay for the added repair costs. I did get quite angry with the staff due to the frustration over how my concerns were addressed, and I apologize.
