Jeweler with a watchmaker

AmFix Jewelry & Watch Repair

AmFix in Streeterville handles batteries, bracelets, crystals and pressure tests for Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko.

AmFix Jewelry & Watch Repair sits in Streeterville at 605 N Michigan Ave, a jewelry shop that keeps a watchmaker on the bench. Day to day work covers battery replacement, bracelet sizing and adjustment, crystal fitting and cutting, case and bracelet polishing, and water-resistance pressure testing, on both quartz and mechanical pieces. The shop lists experience with Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko.

The same counter also handles general jewelry repair, ring sizing, diamond setting, pearl restringing, clock repair and eyeglass fixes, so it operates as a combined jewelry-and-watch stop rather than a watch-only specialist.

Hours are limited: open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am to 5pm, Friday from 3pm to 5pm, and closed Saturday and Sunday. A call or text ahead of a visit is suggested. No pricing or turnaround times are published on the shop's site, so those details are worth confirming directly when you bring in a watch.
