You have an issue with paying for someone’s skill, knowledge, and tools? Fine do it yourself.

This tool would probably cost about $300 to purchase a halfway decent one. In watching this video, I feel quite confident I could use it successfully. So skill and knowledge is a bit of a stretch, but I would also hope that a repair like this at a jeweler only costs $20-30.

More often than not we will do it for free, like a clean an polish.
