Ace Watch Estate Watch & Jewelry Buyers

Ace Watch, on Westheimer Rd in Houston's Hyde Park, is an independent repair shop with an on-site watchmaker handling everything from battery changes to full movement overhauls. The shop works on Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, and also takes on vintage pieces that need parts sourcing or more careful movement work.

Beyond servicing, the shop does case and bracelet polishing and bracelet sizing, useful if a watch just needs a link removed or added rather than mechanical work. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex and Omega, which would mean warranty-compliant servicing for those two brands specifically, though that claim should be confirmed directly with Ace Watch before dropping off a watch under warranty.

The watchmaker holds NAWCC certification, a trade credential some collectors look for when vetting an independent shop versus a brand boutique. Ace Watch also buys and sells pre-owned Rolex and other luxury watches, and buys estate jewelry collections, so the storefront functions as both a repair counter and a dealer.

The shop is open Monday through Friday 10am to 6pm and Saturday 11am to 3pm, closed Sunday. For anyone bringing in a watch for service, it's worth calling ahead to confirm current turnaround times and what documentation or packaging the shop wants, especially for higher-value pieces like Patek Philippe or Audemars Piguet that may need extra care in transit.
