Watches near Albany, CA

“I am an Oaks Jeweler loyalist and have been bringing in my jewelry to them for repair for the past 25 years. I couldn't use them this week as they were on vacation and I quickly searched for a nearby jeweler and found Roberto. I walked into his shop and he was chatting with a friend who has been having him make her jewelry for years. Her ring she was wearing was amazing. I soon discovered that Roberto makes almost all of the jewelry in the store. It was an impressive collection including designs made with imported Murano glass beads with gold detailing. My mission was simply to get a watch pin secured and some quick metal repair on a bracelet and necklace. After a delightful conversation and the repairs accomplished, Roberto did not charge me for the repairs! He said it was so simple and to come back again. He also acknowledged that Oaks Jeweler was a fine establishment and he understood why I used them for that many years. He explained how they were different and that they were friendly competitors that send each other their clients often. I can't express to you how delighted I am to find Roberto and I look forward to continuing to use him for future jewelry purchases! Our community should be honored to have him in this neighborhood after all these years. I can't believe it took me so long to discover his shop, his talents, and kindness!”

“We have been going to Padis Jewelery for 25+ years and they always exceed our expectations. They are helpful with no pressure.
We usually work with Vic but everyone who works there is wonderful.”

“My husband and I recently visited Shreve & Co. in San Francisco to pick out an anniversary gift, and we had an excellent experience. The store is elegant and classy, perfect for selecting a special piece of jewelry.

Maria assisted us and was incredibly nice and helpful. Her extensive knowledge and keen customer service made the process smooth and enjoyable. With her guidance, we chose a stunning Tudor watch that we are thrilled with.

Maria's patience and attentiveness ensured we found the perfect gift without feeling rushed. Overall, Shreve & Co. offers a beautiful selection of fine jewelry and an outstanding shopping experience, thanks to their wonderful staff like Maria. Highly recommended!”

“Stopped in to peruse some watches and rings and was met with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. It was a pleasure speaking with Jeff I will definitely be utilizing this store for my jewelry needs.”

“Ben helped me with 2 watches from the 90's my mom gave me, a Seiko and an Omega. He quickly replaced the battery in the Seiko. He took time to carefully resize the Omega for me and thoroughly worked on fixing the watch since it wouldn't start working with just a battery replacement. He was so kind and helpful! When I want to replace the movement on my Omega I'll definitely be back here. Thanks Ben!”

“After seeing all the positive reviews, I came to Union Street Jewelers to ask them to re-make a double halo yellow diamond ring of mine that was recently stolen. I brought in photos and told them what I wanted; they suggested some changes that would update the ring, make it cleaner and improve the scroll work, and showcase the diamonds more (as opposed to showing more metal). I agreed to their suggestions and just picked up my ring today, and could not be happier! The diamonds are super sparkly and stand out more, the metal work and scroll work are immaculate, and the ring is even more beautiful than the original. The prices are very reasonable, their turnaround time was fast, and Garo, Vartan, and Adam are so friendly, excellent designers, and a pleasure to work with. They are already in the process of re-designing another ring of mine!”

“Great service. After scouring eBay for an old Tudor Submariner, I had it serviced and refinished here. Tzipi was super helpful, and she helped source a hard-to-find part, which they were only able to find in the aftermarket. I would definetly come back here.”

“Latin Jewelers!

Without a doubt the best place to pamper yourself and your loved ones.
Plus, they have helped me reestablish my credit.
The attention of Nelly, Gisella and Miguel from the first day for almost two 2 years.
The only thing I can say is that every time I cross the door of this place it is like feeling like family.

Thank you guys for all your attention always.

With love:Mariana”

“Great selection of one of a kind rings! Marcus was very knowledgeable, patient, and not pushy when it came to choosing an engagement ring. Just the experience I was looking for. We look forward to designing our own wedding bands here. Come and support this family owned SF business that’s been around 100+ years!”

“Arkadiy was extremely helpful and generous with his time. Being a master at what he does, he's not a man of many words but knows his craft. He helped with an important watch to me and I'll be back soon for some additional work on others. A real watchmaker, especially with decent prices is not easy to find. I'm glad I found Arkadiy.”

“My visit to Seregin’s jewellery store was truly a standout experience. The level of service provided by Paul and his team was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to assist me in designing and creating a unique engagement ring for my fiancé.What struck me most was their incredible patience and helpfulness throughout the entire process. Paul took the time to understand my vision, offering valuable insights and suggestions that enhanced the overall design. Their expertise and dedication ensured that the final product not only met but exceeded my expectations.”

“I am so happy with Kims! I brought a ring in yesterday to be resized. It was ready to be picked up today. Great service and beyond fair prices. I would have paid at least double elsewhere. Am so grateful to have found this special place!”

“Always pleasure moment with Jesse. Jesse always makes me comfortable and gives good opinion which catches your own taste exactly. This store is very busy usually you need to make appointment before visiting. If you don't have a sales associate, I highly recommend Jesse.”

“I didn't end up buying anything from these guys, but they were very helpful, friendly, and efficient. I'm not an expert, but their prices seem pretty good as well.”

“I have been going to see Jessy and Alan at United Watch services for well over a decade to have my watches repaired and maintained. They are honest and straightforward and do excellent work. They have serviced my random vintage finds on eBay, family heirlooms, and vintage and modern Rolexes and Omegas for me over the years and I have always been more than satisfied. I've always felt like family coming in here and hope they continue business for many decades to come.”

“Spent some time with Nicholas P. looking at some watches. He was very professional and knowledgeable with the IWC watches I was interested in. I highly recommend this boutique and ask for Nicholas when you visit.”

“Toni!!!!!!! Well, I can't say enough kind words about Toni and Tourneau! She was a tremendous help in finding a Rolex timepiece that I fell in love with! She was kind, extremely knowledgeable, personable and honest! I waited years longer than I probably should have to start my purchasing journey, but recently felt the time was right (not for any specific reason) to finally purchase my first self bought Rolex timepiece. I very quickly learned that it's not so easy to buy a Rolex. I would say it's just as hard, if not harder, than buying certain high performance sport cars. Being used to that world already, I quickly accepted this as a fact. So like every other first timer, I picked up the phone and started calling around. I travel a work footprint that gets me into close proximity of around 5-6 total ADs. Most of them pretty much required me to come in person to look at watches I probably couldn't even buy because of availability. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but unless I'm 5-20 mins away, I prefer not to spend unnecessary travel time just to try on something and not walk away with it because it's an exhibition piece. Well Toni and Tourneau were the complete opposite of all the other Rolex ADs I had spoken to. Toni helped me with finding a piece I truly love in a manner that was very accommodating to my time invested. Not requiring me to come in physically until I could actually buy the piece. This alone means everything to me! Not only that, but I was able to acquire the watch in roughly only 2 weeks of texting and phone calls with Toni. The in person experience was amazing as well! Showing up to the store we were treated respectfully, timely and professionally. I didn't show up wearing a suit, or any luxury branded clothing that I'd imagine much of their clientele would normally adorn. I was not judged at all and treated with respect & dignity. That's class. Realizing that customers come in all shapes and sizes and not differentiating based on appearance. Since in the end, every $ is the same color. Getting to know Toni as a person was a treat as well. Loved to hear where she had traveled and that one of the places was Turkey. It's always nice to hear people enjoy their time in the country you were born in. Makes them immediately feel like family. I can't imagine I'll ever try to purchase from anywhere else again. Toni and Tourneau have earned my loyalty! The craziest part of this is that it took me years to make the jump to purchase a Rolex, and I'm already ready to buy another haha I'm positive much of that has to do with this experience. Though I'm sure my next piece will not be as easy to acquire, I have faith in Toni and Tourneau! Toni knows what elusive piece I'm looking for and I have no doubt I'll get it in due time! Thank you Toni & Tourneau for the awesome experience!”

“Wonderful customer service & transparency, Quincy was helping me with a GMT i was interested in and she took the time to explain all the details in depth including all the pros and any flaws, couldn't be happier with the customer service- Although we didn't do a deal this time i will certainly be keeping an eye on their collection.”

“If you're looking for high-end high-quality diamonds, you should visit Mozaffarian. They helped design my wedding band which is an oval eternity ring. I was super picky and particular about the design, and they completely understood and worked with me to design the ring until it was perfect. It couldn't have turned out more beautiful! Amazing customer service. I would shop here again and again.”

“TAKE ALL YOUR THINGS YOU NEED TO PAWN to these guys they are 110% legit, don’t charge u an arm and a leg, and also they will take good care of your Gold and Silver! Truly yours, BAGMAN COINS wJason Greathouse”

“Love the flower bouquet they put together for a friend's birthday. So many wonderful choices online and easy to order. Having ordered flowers from all over the web, I have to say that Dioro Jewelers beat them all in terms of creativity and freshness. Love being able to order local too! Will order again from them (plus love the quick delivery).”

“I had bought a vintage AP watch and needed to have the bracelet fitted. I went to Shreve even though they don't carry AP, and they referred me here - and I'm so glad they did! It was a simple operation, but Jean-Pierre and Anne Marie asked me a number of questions about the watch, and let me know that one link had a missing screw and one had a damaged screw head - they had given me an extra screw for my spare link. Very efficient and professional, and a great view to boot! And for the 1-star review complaining about credit cards - now they do accept them :)”

“I wanted to shout out to Peter, young gentleman helped me with my Gucci watch. He didn't hesitate to help me. I explained my situation and he replaced new battery. I asked him how much. He said no costs. I was in total shock. I insisted paying him. He said no. He advised that my watch did not pass some kind of test and recommended to go to repair shop that specialized on Gucci brand. I was so touched. In return, I looked around other watches at his shop and decided to buy a nicer watch for myself. Thank you Peter!. You made my week.”

“In my travels on Earth viewing luxury, I discovered the Rolex Presidental in the country of Aruba located at the Renaissance Mall. The decision was made to one day add it to my future collection. The Rolex quote is spot on "The Day-Date is the watch of a global, multicultural, and ever-changing world." Rolex Boutique Tourneau San Francisco was where I sent emails and Toni responded and I was texted with the depressing No! we do not have that at the moment. However, Toni presented me with other configurations that were not to my liking and I kindly declined and preferred to wait. Toni is a specialist in the business and soon texted me the watch is fresh and just come in and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. I was informed I had 24 hours to shuffle finances and maneuver through traffic and disruptions to meet and greet the handler of my ultimate dream watch. For the next 3 hours I was on tour in suit and tie displaying the masterpiece. The new goal in the next 3 months is to purchase a everyday piece the Yacht-Master 42.”

“I will always suggest shopping at Given Gold, because you will not be taken advantage of. This industry is solely based on demand and if you go to most jewelry places you will be paying out the nose for mediocre quality jewelry. Dan West is a skilled jeweler, and does not take advantage of others. He is kind hearted and had a beautiful selection of treasures from popular to vintage it a great price. Please consider supporting this business”

“I can’t thank Jahan’s Diamonds enough for the thoughtfulness and guidance they provided when creating my dream engagement ring. I came into this experience slightly defeated from an experience elsewhere and genuinely with very little knowledge of what to expect when selecting a ring. I had an idea of what I wanted in the sense I knew what stone I was interested in, but things like durability, color, shape, setting, etc., felt very overwhelming. After coming to Jahan’s everything about the experience and the final ring was better than I could have imagined. Truly want to thank Michael for sharing his knowledge, for his kindness, his patience and guidance on cuts and styles. Everything about my engagement experience truly changed in every positive way once I came here.”

“Beautiful eye candy retail establishment with excellent customer service. Neighbors turned me on to it when I mentioned needing a new journal. They are mainly a watch, clocks and leather goods shop but carry the type of journal I like and super big plus is they do free embossing on the spot.”

“Not sure who teaches these youngsters customer service skills! They are amazing! Polite! Friendly!Very helpful and very knowledgeable. And not one bit overbearing. Awesome peeps! My daughter, my son and I have been here a million and one times and never one bad experience. Whoever is teaching them how to treat their customers should make their training available for other stores to learn and take notes. Great job!”

“BVLGARI isn't as well known for their watches as the many other Swiss made watch brands. But that doesn't mean that their watches are not awesome. While many brands seem to stick to more traditional looks, BVLGARI is more avant-garde with them designing the Octo Finnisimo which is one of the thinnest watches in the world. Too thin for my tastes but their Octo Roma Worldtimer is a sweet spot in both design and usefulness covering 24 time zones. I was helped by a sales person named Lulu. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the watches. Great customer service. On past visits I have looked at the rings and jewelry but I'm more interested in their watches. Overall a great place to shop if you like BVLGARI products.”
