Profile

This tiny stall, filled with vintage Rolex, Cartier, and Gruen watches, isn't easy to find-it's in a corridor of Grand Central, next to the entrance to Track 38-but you'll find that it's well worth the effort.

I had my 1965 Rolex Speedking cleaned and serviced here after I bought in online. This shop was recommended to me first by someone who used them for other Rolex vintage watches. I had no problems at all and will try them again after buying a vintage chronometer online that needs more substantial work.

I'm a serious, but very cost-conscious, watch collector. I have been going to the Central Watch Band Stand for years now and have always been impressed by their service and professionalism. They also have a level of passion and knowledge about watches that people at big stores do not, and if they don't always have the fastest service they are always very conscientious.
