This review is long overdue…read more Such a bittersweet review for me... I inherited my late mom's beautiful Vacheron gold watch from the 1970's that was no longer working and missing a part. I did extensive research and decided on Seregin's and I'm so happy that I did. Not only were they friendly/kind and super professional, but this watch, being a relic, and extremely thin and intricate, at this point, was a hard one to fix. Paul, the owner, went above and beyond, connecting with his own network to find the parts that were no longer for sale publicly. He called me multiple times to confirm the heftier price tag that parts and service would cost and when the timeline would be extended. When I came in to pick up the final product and he listened to my story of my beautiful mother and the watch, he truly had compassion and added to the story of this watch. This wasn't a faceless transaction and for something like an inherited treasure, that truly meant something to me. Overall, they clearly know their business here, from your more normal watch to luxury pieces. They care about the products and the customers they service.

I took my G-Shock GGB100-1A to Ben for a battery replacement after he assured me he could handle…read morethe job. Unfortunately, here's what happened: 1. The job was not completed within the promised timeframe. He didn't bother calling me in advance and informing me about the delay. 2. The incorrect battery was installed, and now the mechanical arms no longer function correctly. 3. Several screws were stripped from overtightening, replacements difficult to find. See the photos. 4. The case is not properly closed, compromising the waterproofing. Have zero trust in this watch after seeing the quality of his work. 5. My follow-up phone call and voicemail were ignored. This watch isn't just a piece of jewelry, it's a functional tool I depend on. Ben should have declined the job if it was beyond his expertise; He would lose 35 dollars but that level of honesty would have earned him a 5-star review from me. This shop might be fine for simple watches, but for more complex or technical work, be aware of the risks. I hope my experience helps others avoid the same mistake.

I was first turned on to Shinola by my husband - He's a big watch guy and sure does love a Shinola!…read more Shinola is a luxury watch brand with its home store located in Detroit in a gorgeous historic building. The company has quality craftsmanship and each product is designed and built in a handmade production. Not only do they offer STUNNING watches, Shinola also has Leather Goods, Bicycles, Clocks, Lifestyle Accessories, Journals {which can be custom printed/monogrammed - and makes the perfect gift}, Wallets & Handbags {I already have my eye on a beautiful Hobo bag} and so much more. Yes, we've ordered a few products off the website {and purchased in the now closed Palo Alto location}, but this review is for the San Francisco location. Located on Hotaling Place, there will be plenty of street parking on the surrounding blocks {use the Pay By Phone parking app}. The building itself is located on a narrow road in the Historic Whiskey Warehouse - It's a Gorgeous store! The shop will typically have an opening to enter into the Filson store as well but because of Covid restrictions, you do have to enter/exit from each store individually. The team is taking every Covid-19 precaution: Limited access into the store, Hand sanitizing station located at the entrance and around the store, The team walking around wiping down surfaces, Masks worn by all guests & team members as well as all products sanitized before and after they are touched/tried on. Speaking of the team, they are all so fantastic at this location! It is always service with a smile and service that goes above and beyond most retail experiences. They allow you to shop and browse around the store and they all have an extensive knowledge of the products should you have any questions. They also make the check out process super easy and provide beautiful complimentary gift-wrapping if needed. Way to go, Shinola - Fab service each and every time I'm in the store! If you are in the market for a new watch or some amazing hand crafted luxury goods - Shinola is a great place to start! And if I'm ever in the Detroit area, I am booking a room at the Shinola Hotel!

Well, customer service just isn't what it used to be, am I right?…read more Tried for days to order online a new watch strap and the website concerning shipping certain items to California is horrendous. Figured I'd go into the store on the weekend, because they would surely have a large selection of watch straps in all sizes and materials--that was not the case! After some back and forth with the store clerk, she indicated that she could place the order and have it shipped. After being on the struggle bus for over ten minutes, I asked to see the order one last time before paying. Of course, despite my very clear instruction that I was seeking a 20mm watch strap, she had the wrong size. Oops! If you're looking for top-notch customer service, maybe best to try another location. For the price point and value, this experience doesn't instill much confidence in the brand after being a loyal customer for a decade. Felt like I was shopping at Foot Locker. I totally get the complaint that Shinola is just a nostalgic version of Fossil or some other middle-of-the-road watch company, but I have tried so hard to like this brand. Do better folks!

As so many others have mentioned, the collections of Japanese vintage eyewear here are truly special, each carrying its own story and character. What left the deepest impression on me wasn't just the eyewear itself. It was the exceptional hospitality, craftsmanship, and customer care that came with it. Curtis, the owner, deserves special recognition. You can immediately tell the difference when someone genuinely cares about what they do. What could easily be a simple business transaction becomes something much more meaningful. His passion for curation is evident in every interaction, and it naturally extends to the people around him in sincerity. Despite my multiple troubling visits for adjustments, Curtis treated me every time with the same warmth and patience as the first - if not with even greater kindness. That level of care is something I genuinely appreciate and deeply respect. I'm already looking forward to my next visit in the fall. Whether you need a pair or a place for inspiration, I wholeheartedly recommend Time Frame in the Mission as your next stop!

Unfortunately, I was at a festival and lost it so I wanted to replace the watch as soon as possible. I don't have a Swatch store anywhere near me so that's not so easy. They did start selling some of the Moonswatches online including the one I had, but I knew I was going to SF soon and that the store would be down the street from my hotel. Plus, some new colors and models came out that I was interested in. I was taking a risk because collectors buy certain ones up and often wait outside the store for new drops when they release. The watch I was interested in was the grey 1965 which had just come out. I came into the store and was greeted by the staff. I told them my predicament about losing one and wanting to replace it, but also about my curiosity to see other color ways that aren't available to me in SC. They asked about all the color ways I was interested in, brought them out, and added a couple extras that I might like. I was able to compare them all right next to each other and see the small differences like between the Mission to the Moon and the Moonphase which are super similar. I ended up leaving with the 1965 and I'm so happy with it. I even bought a watch for my friend who bought me the initial watch I lost as an extra thank you and to remedy my prior carelessness in losing the first one. Now all is right in the world and I love my new watch. I have to shout out the staff too who were not only helpful, but patient while I made my decision. Plus while I was picking out the watch I was gifting to a friend, one of the female staff members offered to try it on her wrist so I could choose the right size for my female friend.
