Pros: Al and his wife are very friendly. I enjoy speaking with them. The shop is small, but always very clean and orderly. Al is willing to explain repair procedures in detail. He even fixed a sizing issue that The Irish store next-door had goofed on a Claddagh Ring. They def. know their Jewelery! Cons: This might not be much of a con, but no matter how frequent (or infrequent) my visits are, they never seem to remember my name or my previous visits. Maybe their really busy at times? Also, while he will take your watches in for repair, they are actually sent out to someone he keeps anonymous. I had a watch near and dear to me...I wanted to replace the battery on it since I was doing a couple others. Figured it could use a fresh one even though it was working fine!I paid for my watch to get a new battery, complements of Al Blackman... when I got it his wife showed me it was not only on time, but a little fast. GREAT! Well, a couple days later it was running slow. When I took it back in they almost didnt believe me... "You set the time properly, right?" Insisting the battery wasnt the issue... I had him take it back. This time Al "oiled" it. I was expecting this to be free since my watch only started running slow after he replaced my battery. Nope. But no big deal, so long as my watch runs on time! Again, Als wife showed me that after it had been sitting behind the counter for days...it was still right on time! I took it home, by the next morning it was ten minutes behind. Third time I took it in, he sent it out to his anonymous watchmen...came back...blah blah blah. Runs "less slow" but still not properly enough use everyday. I gave up! Remember folks, if it aint broke, dont fix it! Moral of the story, great place for non-mechanical jewelery!

Have been doing business with the Blackman family since 1970. I have probably spent enough to put the kids through college. A great place to patronage. Fair prices for quality jewelry
