Watch the Time

Great service by Steve! As I arrived, he was helping an elderly woman with her watches and within a few minutes, he had finished what she needed repaired and replaced and was on to place a band on and adjust my Michele watch. Talk about fast — I have no idea how he is able to do what he does so efficiently and so beautifully! He is super knowledgable, learned the business through his father and grandfather and is just so very nice to boot! As he worked on my watch and talked to me, several other customers came in, and he very efficiently and personably dealt with what they needed. So glad I found Steve on Unilocal — I will definitely be back. He is a true professional and absolutely the best! THANK YOU!

Came in to size some watches and replace a battery all done in 5mins and reasonable prices! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! If you park in the back of the marketplace the store is near the entrance! Thanks for the quick service!

In and out in less than 15 minutes. I got my automatic watch calibrated and another watch battery replaced. Super nice guy to deal.

If it is possible, he can do it. I won’t bring my watches anywhere else. He is a magician and watching him work is priceless. He is quick and can fix nearly anything wrong with a watch. I would give ten stars if possible.

I wanted to size my watch and went to other place and the owner there wanted to charge me 35 $ for sizing, here I only paid 5 $. Plus the owner is very nice, great customer service and mainly fast. I highly recommend this place.

What a true old school artisan — 3 generations generations! My watch finally gave out after 15 years and stopped working as well as not closing properly. I got a price from a local mall jeweler which was incredibly expensive — more than the actual watch. So I kept putting off until finally I decided on a whim to see if I could find a place locally on Unilocal to try. I was incredibly surprised to find a place close by that had incredibly reviews. I was almost in disbelief because this place must be pretty amazing. Well guess what the reviews are totally warranted and well deserved. I was thrilled that not only did my watch only need a battery he fixed the clasp as well in literally 60 seconds. $ 10 and MAYBE 15 minutes later I have a brand new watch — amazing! This is the real deal and I would feel comfortable recommending to anyone that needs watch repair.

Great service is a true rarity today and finding someone that really knows what they’re doing is harder still. Steve is one of these special people.
He does all his work out in the open and explains in as much detail you want exactly what he is doing. I took my Tag to him and he had all the right tools from the manufacturer and did the work in 2 minutes. I brought it back for an overhaul and he showed me the teardown protocol. Since then, I’ve brought him my mother’s 70 year old swiss Olma wrist watch and a sixty year old german Junghans chiming wall clock and he knew exactly what each needed on the spot.
For my wall clock, I had gotten a quote from a clock repair shop on Sunset of $ 200 for an overhaul on top of any repairs it would need. Steve overhauled it, replaced the main spring and walked me through the operation and history of the piece for $ 150. Typical prices for wrist watch repairs are a fraction of what they cost other places I’ve tried before.
The ONLY complaint is that the parking behind the place can sometimes be a little tough. Street parking works best during busy times.

I’ve known Steve for a few years and he has always come through. Helpful, fair in pricing and professional. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

I have an old Rolex Submariner 16 610 (1992) which got water damage around 2002, and at the time I didn’t have the money to repair it and I considered it a lost. Recently I moved from my old house and during the move I found my old Rolex.
I didn’t know if it was worth repairing because it looked really bad inside. I decided to ask Steve if he worked on these watches. I was just trying to get an estimate if it was worth repairing or even if it would work again. After a couple of weeks Steve gave me a reasonable estimate and repaired my watch. I was impressed, the price was right and he revived my old classic. Obviously all original parts were used.
I’m very happy with Steve, he was very professional, acted like friend and gained my business.
I have attached some pictures of before and after, you can see the water damage inside and some residue which was cleaned out, now I have a vintage Rolex which has a nice patina from its age.

Found this place, thanks to the help of Unilocal ratings! True to all the positive reviews, I must say I was thoroughly impressed with Steve’s knowledge, speed, and skills in getting me on my way in less than 10 minutes. Not only did he replace my batteries, but he was able to quickly identify the Cartier tank watch I brought in was a replica. Therefore the battery cost only $ 5 (charge is $ 15 for authentic watch). He was pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who needs watch attention!

Made replacing my watch batteries very easy. Also from the brief interaction I had with him, he seemed like a super nice guy. I went in with two watches which batteries had stopped working. Within 10 minutes he had replace the batteries and switched the strap on one of the watches for a very reasonable fee. Will definitely be back when my battery needs replacing.

Great service brought in my watch for a fix the guy was very quick and the prices were fair he even helped me with my dog caller LED light that needed battery. I will be coming here for all my repairs for now on. Highly recommended.

The pin that holds the watch to the watch band broke on my work watch last week and I feel naked without my watch.
I hadn’t much idea where to go so I consulted Unilocal and here it was within minutes of my house.
Stopped by that morning, the gentleman (I’m sorry I didn’t get his name) was incredibly friendly and only charged two bucks.
I have a couple other watches that need batteries and will be back, also when I need another watch.

Great service all around. Sevag is very good and very quick at what he does. I’ve taken numerous watches to him for batteries, sizing, and repairs, everything from Seiko, Bvlgari, and Omega. Just today I took in two watches: a new one for sizing and another that I had broken the face on after I had dropped it :/​He had the part right there for the one I had damaged and it was good as new in less than 5 minutes and for a great price. Very honest about his work as well so every time I have a watch in need it’s straight to here.

I thought would stop by to see if they had any clasps that I might want to use for a watch band I’m making. The guy told me that I would have to bring him my watch band before he would show or sell me anything. I couldn’t believe he sells watch buckles and clasps but refused to even show me anything. I asked him several ways in case we were having some Comunications issues. Finally he said I wouldn’t know what size I was looking for without his assistance. OK! I have no idea why the guys was so stubborn. Guess he won’t do transactions unless he can add labor and repair charges to transactions. Lame.

Owner of the store was closing and leaving as soon as got there but he had no problem staying to fix two watches. He had fixed both watches in less than 10 minutes.

How surprised was I that a top-​rated watch repair spot was so close to home? I inherited a watch from the 80’s I was keen to keep — but when I put a new battery in, those stubborn little hands refused to move. This place fixed the problem (whatever holds the battery in place was broken) for only $ 10. He could have charged me $ 50 & I wouldn’t have known the difference. Now I’m digging up other clockwork to take over. …and why not? The price is right!

My gf came in to fix the little clip on her necklace, the person/​owner was very kind & didn’t hesitate to fix it no questions asked. Great service, indeed :)

Are watch makers and repair people like cobblers? Are they becoming obsolete? I drove all over the Valley (ok, only West Valley) one Saturday morning, looking for a watch repair shop that could take the link out of my new watch. Two of the locations I found on Google map no longer existed; thus, I was forced to drive further west on Vanowen. But lucky for me because now I have a new watch repair/​batter/​etc. place.
Watch The Time has a unit inside Valley Marketplace, half a block east of Reseda on Vanowen. They are inexpensive ($ 5 to take off a watch link; $ 3 to $ 5 for most watch batteries) and fast. I mean, super fast! I was out of there within 5 minutes. When I decided to put one link back on, he did it quickly. Friendly service and inexpensive! I am definitely coming back.
TIP:
Parking — The parking lot is one way and it’s a small lot. I arrived early so there were plenty of parking. But when it’s errand and grocery shopping time, it probably gets crazy.

Great customer service, I was in and out with-​in 15/​20min. N that’s because I keep asking to resize my watches lol (I’m picky w/​something’s) but even as these two kids from hell kept yelling n bouncing around I still got the attention I deserved … Sweet. Prices are low too n the guy who wrks there is knowledgeable about what he does.
Head’s up, the only downside… The Parking, lol but once you’re in you’re good to go just pay attention to cars pulling out of parking spots
