I just purchased a WWII Hamilton ORD watch with a 987A movement. I want to get the movement serviced and back to running. Does anyone have shop recommendations? I live in Connecticut and would like somewhere local if possible (if sending it somewhere is the best option I’ll consider it). I don’t want to do any case polishing, relume, or dial cleaning. I just want the movement back in running order.

I have looked at the Time keeper shop (Wallingford, CT) and Pieces of time (Newington, CT) and Standish Clock & Watch (West Hartford, CT) but when looking at reviews I’m seeing a LOT of negatives. Watches never getting fixed, paying for repairs that didn’t get done correctly. Please help me

I’ve been playing the best golf of my life this year. Shot a personal best 82. But my last few rounds I’m struggling to make good iron contact. I had one day where everything was coming out low, short, and leaking right. I’m plagued by tops. And recently added the low diving hook shot to my miss hit repertoire. I’ve always considered my irons to be the best tool in my bag but currently they’re my greatest weakness.

My driver remains the best it’s ever been. My chipping and putting are on a rise. But the last couple weeks the irons have been a disaster.

So what do you do when your irons are in a slump? Do I just power through and wait for it to come back?
