Accutime Watch Center

Accutime Watch Center is a two-watchmaker shop in Newport Beach that handles both quartz and mechanical repairs, from battery and movement swaps to more involved mechanical work like balance staff replacement, escapement adjustment, hairspring work and chronograph mechanism servicing.

The shop's stated focus is Rolex: the team says it uses genuine original Rolex parts and dedicated tools for Rolex repairs, and the shop says it is an authorized Rolex service center, though that claim comes from the business itself and isn't independently verified here. Watches are disassembled and run through ultrasonic cleaning, lubricated with manufacturer-recommended oils, and checked on electronic timing equipment. Cases and bracelets are cleaned and polished as part of the process, and crystal replacement and water resistance (pressure) testing are offered as standalone or add-on services.

All repairs carry a one-year warranty. Replacing parts like crowns, crystals, broken jewels, rusted components, set bridges or auto-wind arbors adds to the base repair cost, though exact pricing isn't published. The shop offers free estimates over the phone or by email, and asks that you include a phone number with any email estimate request in case they have questions about the watch.

It's a small, appointment-friendly operation rather than a retail counter: weekday hours run 9am to 4pm, with Saturday by appointment only and closed Sundays. Worth a call ahead if you're dropping off a Rolex or anything needing more than a quick battery swap.
