My Navi 01 came from Govberg and it will be my first stop for any subsequent timepieces. I have been in few watch retailers that come close to the customer service of Govberg . . . especially that of George Mayer.

I had always thought of Govberg as a first stop for new purchases for most all on this forum and others, but had no idea that they were considered one of the best in the nation....guess that's what happens when you meet the best first.

Beyond that, I don't doubt that the entire staff does an amazing job, but the way George represents them in the online world has to be a big part of their success. If Govberg is the best, and George is their best, i dont think it is too far of a stretch to say George may be one of the best in the US market.

That has to be one of the most boring articles ive ever read in my life.

Having said that, im glad to hear that they are doing well. It sounds like they deserve it.

You should read more of my stuff :lol:

Ariel's style isn't for everyone, but personally I quite like his writing, and you have to remember that he is trying to write for a non watch audience in this piece.

I agree, it was a terribly boring article and it came across more like an advertisement rather than journalism. Aside from that, they're definitely worthy of the praise and it's very cool to see a local dealer make it into Forbes magazine; something to be very proud of I'm sure.

This was not done as an advertisement, Govberg was chosen by the author
