Great experience at ABC Watchworks. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with genuine care. They took the time to clearly explain what my watch needed, gave me realistic expectations, and delivered exactly what they promised. The quality of the work is exceptional. My watch looks and runs like new, and the attention to detail really shows. Pricing was fair and transparent, especially considering the level of expertise and craftsmanship involved. It's not easy to find a place that combines old-school skill with excellent customer service, but ABC Watchworks does exactly that. I would not trust my watches to anyone else and will confidently recommend them to anyone who values precision and quality workmanship. read more

Place is great. Remember that it's on the EIGHTH FLOOR (8th floor). Jabbar Kahn takes good care of his clients, and is VERY knowledgable with watches.

No charge In Beverly Hills,!! I wanted to give them money he wouldn't accept it!!!

While their prices are lower than a certified Rolex service center, I wouldn't trust my expensive timepiece to them. Less than 2 years after having a repair done by them on a Rolex Submariner, I'm having issues again. I'm now taking it to a certified center as I don't trust that they are servicing it correctly. I had no issues before taking it to them for a regular service. I've had issues since servicing it with them and wouldn't trust them to work on it again. read more

My most trusted watch repair shop in LA. Ive taken a couple of Rolex's to them for different reasons. I am always satisfied of the workmanship and price of there service. I recently bought an AP and was not sure if it was authentic. It was about 15% cheaper than the going market price. I call them up to get a verification of the movement and authenticity check. They were great. They did it for me in 20 mins and didn't even charge me for it. I trust them with all my watches and you should too. They are busy so make sure to call in advance. read more

ABC Watchwerks - Watch Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Had a great experience today. I had brought Jabbar and the folks at ABC Watchwerks my favorite watch, which I had dropped. Today I got it back and it is beautiful and running perfectly. They are not only excellent watch repair people, they are also very nice human beings. It was also great fun to go to Downtown Los Angeles and the Jewelry District. You hear different languages and smell different food, it is not the usual California experience. And if you take the time to look in all the shops, you will probably see more Rolexes than in Switzerland. Thanks ABC for introducing me to this new world. read more

All i can say is wow, ABC Watchwerks is amazing. I saw that Rolex was backed up for more than 3 months and I took my watch here they got the job done in less than 2 weeks. Really love this place please keep up the good work. Thank you again. read more

I took 3 watches to them in early July - antique Omega, and my wife's Cartier and Chanel watches. Not exactly haute horologie but what needed servicing. It took them 6 weeks to get me just the estimate. I called every week for an estimate. In mid August I finally got the estimates and authorized work. They didn't complete work until today Sept 19. And even when I got there they made me wait 30 minutes! They never committed to a date for either the estimate or repairs. They're in the precision fixing business but certainly lack precision delivery. I took a watch for service 2 years ago at the recommendation of the watchmaker at BH Omega and was happy then. But I'm hard pressed to explain the utter breakdown in service this time. I withheld having them service my Rolex just to see how things would turn out. I ended up taking it to 4 Crowns instead. I've used them before as well. Shant opened up the watch right then and there and estimated how long it would take (10 days). Ps. I see I'm the only one who has not posted a 5 Star so I'm sure the review will be received as a crazy's rant. But I own a dozen watches ranging from cheap Gucci to platinum VC chrono so I've dealt with a lot of watch merchants and repairs. Really didn't want to post this negative review because Alex seems like a nice guy but thought buyer should beware. read more

I've just had the most horrible customer service experience with ABC Watchwerks. I dropped off my prized Omega and was told I'd get an estimate in 2 days. A week later I'd heard nothing. They didn't ever answer the phone. They never returned any voicemails or emails. Just total silence. I had to drive all the way back and physically demand my watch be returned. And even then I got a whole song and dance about how it's stuck in the safe and nobody can open it... It took a half hour visit just to get my watch back. Still not looked at. Still not repaired. I've wasted a week and gotta go somewhere else. I'd strongly advise against bringing your valuables here. Something is definitely off about the way they're running their business. read more

I needed to have my Rolex serviced and someone suggested I use ABC I'm so thrilled that I listened to the suggestion. They are extremely professional. Gave me a fair quote on what it would cost and did the work in a good time frame I am going to recommend them to anyone who needs their high end watches repaired read more

I inherited a Rolex Datejust from a family member a few years ago. It wasn't in the best of shape, but was still running. After doing a ton of research about getting it restored, I decided to take it to ABC Watchwerks in Downtown Los Angeles. The guys are truly amazing. Beau took one look at it and told me that it was made in 1963 due to the underline on the watch face along with the arrow shaped hands. I received an estimate of the work from Edvi and decided to go forward with it. After 7 weeks, I got the watch back and am very pleased. ABC Watchwerks did the following: * Movement service/overhaul * Replace crystal face * Replace balance staff * Replace bracelet with a period correct Jubilee bracelet * Refinish watch case to match "new" bracelet I would highly recommend ABC Watchwerks if you have a nice watch you want serviced or restored. The guys there are very nice, answered all my questions, and just did an awesome job with it. I'll be going back to keep the Datejust running as this will be a family heirloom to pass down. read more

I met Alex approx. 9 years ago in passing at a Starbucks in Woodland Hills where he gave me his card. I already had 2 Roly's at the time; (a 1994 Sub and an 2006 Explorer II); so I really wasn't in the market to buy a watch as i was happy with the 2 i had; but for some reason i kept his number in my phone. Fast forward to about 2 months ago i was thinking of selling both my watches to get a Pre-owned GMT II. So selling is always a hassle on ebay as i needed the perfect storm to sell both my watches at the same time; to then be able to buy the GMT II. So I thought of Alex, I called him out of the blue; (9 yrs later) He was shocked i still had his contact info and was very please that i called. So i told him what i needed and he told me what he could give me as credit towards a new watch or straight out cash for my watches (it was my choice) I opted for the trade, so he said he would keep an eye out for a GMT II i wanted. We negotiated a little and finally came to a very fair and equitable trade value based on what he would find me.... So he calls me yesterday tells me he found a GMT II that was pre-owned only 1 month old basically NEW and $1250 under current retail prices.. with a 2 year warranty!! So i said DEAL. Alex drives an hour in traffic to from his office in Downtown store to Woodland hills to meet me and accommodate my schedule to deliver my new watch personally and the agreed cash for the difference in cash in $100 dollar bills for the 2 watches i traded. Ironically where we me today was 2 blocks from where we originally met 9 years ago!! (Sorry, I love Irony). We met and spoke about how long ago we met yada yada yada..bla bla bla. and how things happen for a reason. He fits the watch to my wrist and presto..I'm a new member of the GMT II club..!! I'm soo happy i kept his number and would recommend anyone looking for a Rolex to call Alex. ......P.S.he also agreed to take my Eilux Dual Watch winder and keep it at his store to sell for me as a courtesy to me and give me the proceeds of the sale of it. again, I'm not an ebay fan. So if any of you reading this also need a dual watch winder in EXCELLENT condition (Only 4 years old); its at his store. Thanks again Alex. read more

I am back at ABC Watchwerks getting my premium watch repair. Alex is very professional, friendly and does excellent work. He quotes upfront and very fair with price. I've been to many watch repair shops in Downtown L.A. and various locations in L.A. County. Still, I come back here for premier quality service and work. Consider checking with Alex for any service or wholesale watch purchase. He responses considerably quickly when you email. read more

I took my mid-80s Vintage Rolex DateJust to ABC Watchwerks a few months ago for a full servicing and polish after reading a lot of great reviews on a forum. And I am very glad I did as they did an excellent job on my watch at a very fair price. Just a few days ago though the crystal on my Rolex got very badly scratched through my own carelessness. Being so pleased with my previous customer experience, today I brought my watch into Alex at ABC at Watchwerks to replace the crystal. After inspecting my watch, Alex thought it might be possible for him to simply buff out the scratches. And to my surprise that is exactly what he was able to do - and at no charge! And then he took some extra time with me to ensure the proper fit of my Jubilee bracelet - and he actually removed some links. I'm a big fan of ABC Watchwerks. Alex, is professional, knowledgeable and provides Great Customer Service. Highly Recommended! read more

Alright, let me cut right to the chase: The guys at ABC Watchwerks are the absolute best! And needless to say, the restoration/detailing work they recently completed for my Rolex is nothing short of PHENOMENAL! (Check out the before and after photos of the silver Oysterdate with the blue dial). After much online research, ABC has unanimously been praised as the definitive Rolex repair and restoration shop anyone this side of the Pacific should even entertain going to. Their top-floor shop in Downtown Los Angeles' jewelry district is rather nondescript. And the moment you enter the door, you'd think you just entered the waiting room of a dental office. But things more or less will take a 180 turn as either Alex or Edvi will come out of one of two internal doors to kindly greet you and ask exactly what you're in for. Alex is the expert in all things Rolex, and was able to immediately identify mine as a 1960's era Oysterdate. Edvi, also equally knowledgable, was the primary person who took care in evaluating and eventually processing my order. I was told right out front what the price point would be for their standard restoration work (which after shopping around from Downtown to the Westside, ABC's pricing was actually reasonable). My Oysterdate was essentially in need of a new factory Rolex crystal, a worn gasket replacement (added on initial estimate), timing and pressure adjustments and a complete refinishing of all surfaces on the case and bracelet. After roughly two weeks, Edvi called that the watch is ready, and picked up the piece later that day and staying to talk to him way past closing time. As expected, the watch looked practically brand new, and I didn't imagine it would ever be restored to this level. What was even more impressive is when Edvi explained further the steps that took place, what was eventually done to meet specs, and then complimented me on what a nice watch it was. I couldn't agree more. I was very, very pleased. Definitely money well spent. Without hesitation, give Edvi or Alex a call. Whether you simply need an estimate or are ready to go full speed with a restoration or complete overhaul of your vintage or newer model Rolex, the guys at ABC Watchwerks will take care of you hand to foot. I guarantee it. read more

I highly recommend this place. I had a minor watch repair to adjust the links on a metal bracelet. Alex did the repairs, and on the house! He also explained the mechanism to me. The reply to my yelp inquiry was pretty quick too. Overall I highly recommend ABC Watcherks! read more

If you have a high end or vintage timepiece and care about the quality of service said watch receives, there is no other shop in the area you should even consider. Whether one of my Rolexes needs routine service or a little TLC after smacking it into a wall (again), these are the only guys I trust. The owners are on-site and personally ensure quality work on each job, and they will give you honest advice on repairs and/or restoration. Everyone on staff is knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. FIVE STARS!! read more

Dalton just restored my Rolex Explorer II, it was in terrible shape, it now looks like a brand-new watch! And the price was as good as I could ask for! I could not be happier; and I highly recommend Dalton to anyone! read more

ABC rescued my beloved DateJust from the ravages of a criminal who dares to call himself a watchmaker (check my reviews if you want to see who). These guys do top-notch work at fair prices and surprisingly fast turn-around; indeed as good as it gets. Got a good watch that needs attention? Take it here... read more

These guys are one of the top watchmakers in the US hands downs. They even do laser welding to watch cases that have been severely damaged. Also their turn around time on repairs are super reasonable. So if you want you watch repaired without a hassle and totally ripping your wallet apart these are the guys. They can't be beat. read more

Wow! They really go out of their way. Truly a sincere emphasis on customer "happiness". Thank you Alex! read more

I walked in to get my watch band fixed and Jabbar did it on the spot in less than five minutes. Amazing service and will definitely be coming back for any watch needs. read more

Do you know what a 1675 is? How about a 5513? 1680? 1016? 6205? Milgauss mean anything to you? If any of the above mean something to you, then this is the local watch repair and restoration shop you've been looking for. Stop - don't go anywhere else in LA ever again. Not Feldmar. Not Westime. Nowhere else. I've had two vintage Rolexes serviced with ABC and I could not be happier. The prices are very fair, the work is spot on, and their knowledge of vintage Rolex is DEEP, DEEP, DEEP. read more

Just stopped by to have a battery replaced. 15 minutes later I was out of there. For whatever reason they didn't charge me, which was a nice, but unnecessary gesture. Thanks! read more

We live in a world where we want everything and I mean EVERYTHING fast. Food, work, relationships, shopping related and service. You name it. Everything. When it comes to a luxury watch, do you really want service that quickly? Do you really want someone to skim through everything and make some bogus recommendations and bill you some astronomical amount? I own a 08' Rolex GMT Master II - Pepsi. Never had any work done but sensed that the watch was not functioning properly. Did my due diligence and found these fine folks. Because it was my very first time getting my watch serviced and not knowing what to expect, I was very reluctant. I e-mailed ABC and received a response from Aaron within a few hours outlining all the things I should expect and an estimate for said services. Took the watch to their office and was greeted by Aaron himself. Very nice and patient with all the inquiries I had. Decided to go with them. GLAD I DID. It took a long time but they always answered the phone and responded to my e-mails. After a few weeks I received a call and they told me that the watch was done. Picked up the watch. IMMACULATE! They are super thorough (which I appreciate) and very helpful with the ins and outs of the watch. If you have a nice watch, DON'T GO ELSEWHERE. GO see ABC! read more

Had an awesome experience here! Came in to adjust the sizing of a new watch and was helped out promptly. The location is a bit hidden but definitely worth it for the customer service. I'll be coming back here for all my future watch related issues. read more

As a jewelry store owner(store opened in 1980), I take the watchmakers that I use very seriously. I know of, or have personally used most every watchmaker in Downtown Los Angeles. If you're in downtown LA, this is the place to go if you want the highest quality job in the area. read more

Super quick service and friendly staff. Had my Rolex repaired and pressure tested in under 30minutes.

ABC has serviced two of my Rolex watches(1665 and 16660) without missing a beat. I have been collecting for over 20 years and have used a handful of watchmakers over the years and these guy's passion for watches is both genuine and contagious. Their level of customer service and commitment to providing quality work is second to none. I'll share a story that illustrates what I am talking about: A month ago I in the pool with my kids wearing my 1665 for an hour or so on a Sunday. When I got home I noticed that moisture had collected right under the middle of the crystal. I went ahead and opened the crown to help speed up the evaporation of the water, but after a few hours it was in the same state. This is not the first time that a vintage Rolex I owned had a leak, but this was the most serious one I had ever personally experienced. I took it that Monday and within 10 minutes Alex had diagnosed the problem... the crystal had hairline cracks. No worries it was the original 15 year old Rolex service crystal, so they replaced it with one of their super doom ones to give it that more vintage look. While they had the watch Alex noticed that the helium value bracket was a bit weak, so informed me it might come back to bite me later in the near future. This is where the "commitment to providing quality work" comes in... he said that because he already had the watch movement out he would only charge me for the part and not the labor. Most watchmaker only do the bear minimum needed to get the watch back out ASAP only for the owner to come back because something else failed. He felt so bad that I would have to wait another couple of days and come out to downtown LA again that he scheduled time in the evening to personally deliver it to me after the watch was serviced. If that isn't the highest level of customer service I don't know what is... read more
