Old watch, new battery!!!!
Tiff J.

Amazing service and super grateful for the last minute service to replace my battery. I didn't bring in the fanciest of watches but was taken very good care of regardless. Thank you!

Hiro O.

Finally found A great place for quick high quality reliable watch repair! Especially for Rolexes! Walked in walked out... I walked in with my crystal walked right out with a pressure test and everything! If you have a vintage or a new Rolex go to these guys asap!

Great service! Replaced crystal face and did pressure test in 30 min. #vintagerolex Thank you!

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.

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.

As good as it gets here! Glad I found these guys. Staff is super friendly and shares the same passion for watches. They fixed the bezel on my 1675 so that its operable again and fixed the calendar function on my Day date. ABC watchwerks will be the only people who service my collection!

After.  New crystal, gasket and comprehensive polishing of all metal surfaces.  Perfection! . . .

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.

Premiym watch repair while you u wait,  icluding Omega watch I just had it repaired.

Love Sam's! Fast, friendly, professional, incredibly skilled…read more I brought in a vintage cluster ring from my grandmother that needed pretty significant resizing from an 8.5 down to a 5, and he did it beautifully without sacrificing any stones. When I went to pick it up, I brought in a watch for servicing and some more jewelry for Cleaning. All of which is completely reasonably priced. I'm really looking forward to having them make a custom piece for me with some loose stones I have. The entire staff is just such a pleasure. I get the impression that regardless of what you bring in, or what you need done- They treat it and you with the same care and respect as they would the Hope diamond. So happy to find a jeweler I can trust!

Sam is a nice man but make sure you do some pricing research in advance. The reviews here were so…read moreoverwhelmingly positive that I didn't look around and got a little bit overcharged I'd say. After dropping my simple gold wedding band off with the promise of a 1 hr turnaround at $125 to have it sized down (he tried to charge $150), I came back 90 minutes later and the ring had clearly not been touched yet. I shared that I'd spent the last 90 minutes researching online and at other shops in the jewelry market and had learned that this service should cost no more than $50. Some places charge as low as $20. I asked Sam politely what the reason was for the steep price difference. He talked about how much time and care went into sizing the ring, and how he used only the best materials so that the cut would be completely invisible. To demonstrate, he began showing me the process, which reinforced my suspicion that when I walked back into the store, he had not yet begun work on my ring. 10 minutes later Sam was done - the work was good, but the seam was indeed visible. After a conversation the price came down to $100. I'm happy, the work is no better or worse than any I have had done before. But be warned that he clearly upcharges for his charm (he's very sweet and complimentary) and generosity (he did a sonic clean on my engagement ring for free). If you want a deal this is not the place. But it's fine otherwise! Not gonna get scalped but not the most price sensitive option if you're in the jewelry district.
