I walked in yesterday around 1pm and was nicely greeted by Thomas, the owner of this shop. He was…read morevery helpful, kind and professional. Also very knowledgeable. Thanks to Yelp that I found this place. I had 2 clocks to be repaired. One was a round clock and the other one was square. A gold Gucci bracelet type of a watch that I didn't know what to do with. I had received the watch on my 24th birthday from someone very near and dear to my heart. It was in my jewelry box, collecting dust and I could not wear it. Tom has a keen eye. He took one look at it and told me that the battery needed to be replaced. It required a special type of battery. Size of a lentil. He even cleaned and polished everything before returning them back to me. Cost is very reasonable and affordable. With the clocks, I wasn't sure what he did, the clock hands were not moving. So we were not able to use them for a while now. All 3 were ready within the same day. By the time I had some coffee next door, got a call for me to go and pick up all 3 items. Parking is shared with two other businesses in the back of the building. I am so grateful & thankful to Tom and his business. Highly recommend this place to anyone that has similar problems like mine. They fix/repair all types of watches like Rolex, Omega, Gucci, Cartier, Tudor, even jewelry. Vintage watches are also welcome at this shop. Don't know much about whether or not they sell any types of jewelry, clocks or watches. The shop was very clean, and a decent size. What time is it??:-)

Tom is a true craftsman... He has done exceptional work on my watches…read more.. I would trust him with the most delicate and important work on a fine timepiece....

I found this place on Chatgbt to sell a Rolex . Got a great deal and was really Easy.read more

Amongst all the "glowing reviews" here is mine - but wait they aren't all glowing - if you go to…read more"not recommended reviews" there are plenty of 1 star reviews - not really fair is it to only have 5 stars showing when clearly people aren't all having the same experience. First of all - I had a bad vibe from the second I walked in - or tried to come in for 2 minutes. I was stuck in the door with a stroller with my toddler in it. The door was extremely heavy and I was attempting to push her through and she got stuck and I kept pushing and it wasn't working. Three grown adults - 2 women and the owner - a man - sat there and watched me struggle and not a single one of them said wow let me help you. I should have taken that as my cue and honestly left. Anyway - aside they can clearly care less for mothers - the owner completely low balled me on my Cartier watch. Yes that's right a Cartier watch for $200. I can get a Michael Kors for less than that. How silly. I was so upset over the door situation and just driving to DTLA with a toddler in general - and he knew that I'm assuming - so he took advantage - and I let him rob me. I did show him online they sell for a lot more than that - and he said well yeah - and still gave me $200...so a Cartier watch is same level as a crappy Michael Kors? Ok! Last but not least - when a man came in to "buy" a Rolex they were all over him like white on rice - having me wait while they bend over backwards. The guy didn't even buy the watch from what I saw - and honestly I can care less. If you are a mother or you aren't buying or selling a Rolex I would stay away. I've never felt so discriminated against quite honestly. I will say, the owner did finally offer to help me with the door as I was leaving - but honestly the damage was already done. I wish I kept my watch and sold it myself online instead of getting swindled.

Over the years, I've purchased multiple watches and diamonds from him, and he has always taken incredible care of me. I call him "Uncle Ramin" because after all these years, he truly is like family. He is honest, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely cares about the people he works with. In a business where it can sometimes be difficult to know who you can trust, Ramin is truly one of a kind. Whenever there is something special I'm looking for, he gets me what I want, and whenever I need him, he is there. That kind of relationship and trust is incredibly hard to find. After more than 25 years, I can say without hesitation that I wouldn't go anywhere else. Ramin isn't just my jeweler -- he's family. Highly recommended.

Almost "too good to be true" sums it up. None of the watches they advertised were actually…read moreavailable when I arrived, and the pieces they did have were priced thousands above what they listed online. It felt like a textbook bait and switch tactic, which is disappointing for a place claiming to deal in luxury goods. I will give them credit that the watches themselves looked fine, but their advertising practices and overall ethics are seriously questionable. Based on how everything was presented, some of their tactics may raise legal concerns under consumer protection rules.

The Pink Poodle Diaries: Sam's Jewelry & Watch Repair, Downtown Los Angeles!…read more BONJOUR, DARLINGS! It is I, Mozzarella! International pink poodle, professional princess, and connoisseur of all things sparkly! Yesterday, Mama and I visited one of our FAVORITE gentlemen in downtown Los Angeles, SAM! Now, darlings, Mama has been going to Sam for YEARS. She has an extensive jewelry collection, and finding a jeweler she trusts is practically more difficult than finding a parking space in Beverly Hills! But Sam? HEAVEN SENT! Literally, according to Mama. We were there to pick up two of Mama's precious rings. One was her beautiful emerald ring, which had lost a little emerald. THE HORROR! A gemstone had apparently decided to pursue an independent career! Fortunately, Sam rescued the runaway emerald, put it back where it belonged, and gave the ring a beautiful cleaning! He also cleaned one of Mama's engagement rings and secured its loose center stone. MON DIEU! Mama has visited other jewelers who somehow managed to return her jewelry with MORE stones missing than when she dropped it off! DARLING, THAT IS NOT A REPAIR. THAT IS A ROBBERY WITH A RECEIPT! But Sam? Not once has Mama had a bad experience. He's trustworthy, talented, meticulous, and genuinely wonderful! Whether you need jewelry repaired, a stone upgraded, or a fabulous custom piece created, Sam is your gentleman! And speaking of custom jewelry, I have been considering commissioning a diamond tiara. Mama says I already have enough accessories. I BEG YOUR PARDON? I HAVE TWO EARS AND AN ENTIRE HEAD STILL AVAILABLE! FIVE PAWS FOR SAM! If Mama trusts him with her precious jewels, I trust him with my future crown! BISOUS ET BACI! Mozzarella the Poodle International jewelry critic. Pink diamond enthusiast. Currently accepting tiara sponsorships in the form of compliments.

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.

From jewelry to watches, these guys are very knowledgeable and have a good amount of inventory to choose from.. I recently purchased a Datejust and a tennis bracelet from them for my girlfriend's Christmas present. She loved them btw! Shout out to the MJW team for always taking care of me...

Last year I met Omid when he purchased a house from me. During the time that we were working…read moretogether he delivered a gift to me, a beautiful necklace and earrings from his jewelry store, which are replicas of Van Cleef and Arpels. I did not want to accept the gift but he insisted. A few months later after the transaction closed I purchased a necklace from him and hoped to continue doing business with his jewelry store. About 5 -6 months ago one of the earring's clasp broke. I contacted him. He said no problem, he would fix it for me. I dropped the earrings off to him. When I followed up with him he at first told me the earring was being repaired, and then as time went on he said that it could not be repaired and he would have to send it back somewhere. This went on for months and he kept telling me it was in customs. Then the truth came out and he began to ignore me. He did not want to return the earrings to me. He said that I could afford to buy them from him, and I did not deserve the gift. I have all his texts which prove that he never planned to repair or return the earrings to me. He even threatened to write a bad review about me as a real estate agent.
