Hi, 

I wouldn't go to Yefim's on Murray.  I went there once to get a rod (one of
the two that hold the watch bands onto the actual watch face...) for a seiko
watch which i never had problems finding before and they didn't have any in
stock, so they ordered one, and more than a week after they said it would be
ready I picked it up and soon after the battery went dead, which was very
odd since i had recently replaced the battery- and they've always lasted a
minimum of a year with that same watch.  Overall I got a very bad impression
of them, *to me* they didn't seem very honest.

i hope you find a good place, let me know the results.
thanks.
lisa.
