Jeweler with a watchmaker
Compton Jewelers
Jewelry store in Northwest D.C. with an in-house AWCI-certified watchmaker handling batteries, full service, polishing and crystal work on Rolex, Omega, Tudor
Compton Jewelers is a jewelry store on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. with a watchmaker on site rather than sending repairs out. The watchmaker holds an AWCI certification and handles the full range of mechanical work: battery replacements, full service and overhaul, case and bracelet polishing, crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, and pressure testing for water resistance.
The shop services Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko watches. Compton Jewelers also says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, though that status is the shop's own claim and worth confirming directly if it matters for your watch's warranty or service history.
For people outside the D.C. area, the shop offers mail-in service, so a watch doesn't need to be dropped off in person. Pricing sits in the mid-to-upper range for the market (tier 3 of 4), and turnaround times are quoted on request rather than published, so it's worth asking upfront how long a given repair or service will take.
The shop keeps weekday hours only, open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and is closed on weekends. Given the limited window, calling ahead before a visit is a reasonable step, especially for anything beyond a quick battery swap.
