A Brooklyn man is being threatened with a lawsuit by a Midtown watch-repair shop after he gave it a slightly negative review on Yelp.
Matt Brand gave Ron Gordon Watch Repair on Madison Avenue two stars in a review he posted last April after he says the shop told him one of two timepieces — a gold pocket watch — needed to be sent overseas to be fixed.
“I went to another place, and they fixed both watches very quickly at a fraction of the price,” Brand recalled.
This month, he got a letter from owner Ron Gordon’s lawyer ordering him to remove the post within seven days or face a defamation suit. The lawyer could not be reached.
