    Newly release Seiko Speedtimer SSC961. The Watch Connection has the best price.
    Nhut N.

    This review is for online order. I ordered a newly released Seiko from The Watch Connection on Monday and got the item on Wednesday. The watch came nicely and securely packed. I'm very happy with my purchase and service from The Watch Connection.

    I've been getting back into G-Shocks lately and saw a bordeuax special edition on the website and called to check if it was still available and it was. Stopped by and Noah helped out. Nice store, breezy purchase and overall great experience. Highly recommend The Watch Connection

    Went here to have my band resized, these guys are great! Very professional! Great walk in service, the amazing part is it fit the first try

    This Gem is from Heaven! the Aura of Magical Arabian Nights, and the Treasure of Alli Baba await you at the Watch Connection at 3033 Bristol St Corner of Bristol and Paularino st in Costa Mesa. Greeted by Rob Hashem master Jeweler and so glad to see the great repair Mr. Jost mar who mends and bends gold and Silver like a surgeon with the Golden Touch of King Midas touch, make a stop before or after lunch and see a real Frank Sinatra Bulova and other choices for Dad or your best Girl, after all diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Housing and strap thickness- top is the original

    These are 100% fake watches. I own the original and the fake is not even a good fake. Everything is clumsy from thickness of watch housing to strap, crown and clasp. Do not buy.

    One of my watches needed a battery replacement so I decided to take it in to Watch Connection. Upon entering the building I was greeted by the friendly staff and was in awe of the spectacular display of watches. They carried an impressive collection of high quality and luxurious brands. I've recieved exceptional service and they changed my batteries very quickly. When I revisit the store, I'm definitely going to purchase one of their elegant watches from them. Their staff is very knowledgable and professional. They made a great impression and I look forward to returning.

    See all

    Do carry end links for a 19mm jubilee bracelet? I already have the bracelet but no end links and lugs to put on the watch

    Hi. We do not have the end links. Good luck.

    Do you carry Omega?

    Hello. Sorry for the late response. We used to carry Omega. We no longer authorized for Omega. We do get Omega trade in sometime.

Awesome customer service, awesome communication and awesome work on my timepiece. Took about 4 months to complete, some advice...if you have any aftermarket pieces on your watch (IE aftermarket diamond bezel) give the team a heads up. You'll more than likely need to remove the aftermarket piece before they'll start the work.

However all the places he checked did not have the model/color combination he wanted and they didn't know when they would get them. We were told they could be backordered for months. When we came here, Ricardo was able to help us order it and have it arrive in store for pickup the next week. We put a deposit down, then came the next week as promised to pick it up. He was polite, informative, and friendly plus most importantly he was able to deliver like he promised. A couple of the other salesmen there didn't want to give us the time of day when we came to pick up the watch, but Ricardo was on point. We were also able to go right up to the service store and get the watch fitted, and the folks in the service store were friendly and quick.

Purchasing my first Rolex last year at Hyde Park Jewelers was a very special experience for me, and it has been a joy to own and wear every day. What made the experience even more meaningful was being able to share it with my wife. We had been eagerly anticipating getting her first timepiece as well, and after registering for a special piece last year with Linda Dimartino, she came through for us last month with a call to say it had arrived. That same week tied in nicely with a work anniversary for my wife, so we were able to pick it up on the same day, making the piece even more sentimental. Linda has been professional ever since I met her and great to work with throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated along the way. It feels really special that we both received our first-ever Rolexes from the same store and through the same sales professional -- thank you, Linda! These are timepieces we will enjoy for many years to come and memories we will always value. We are always happy to stop by the store and look forward to visiting Linda again in the near future. We look forward to continuing our journey with The 1916 Company for many more years to come.

Most of the staff was pretty good. Amin and Joshua or excellent. Really friendly. Very knowledgeable. Happy to help. Happy to explain the difference differences between the watches. At the Rolex side it was different. They're too cool for school. Shiva was very offputting. She had no desire to help us, even though she was super friendly to the customers right before us. One of the worst experiences. If you go to the Rolex store at South Coast Plaza you don't get treated like this
