Jeweler with a watchmaker
Irvine Gold Mine
Irvine jewelry store with an on-site watchmaker who services and polishes Rolex watches, located in the Heritage Plaza shopping center.
Irvine Gold Mine is a jewelry and coin shop on Culver Drive in Irvine that also handles watch work through an on-site watchmaker. The watch side of the business focuses on Rolex, with servicing offered for the brand along with case and bracelet polishing.
The shop says it is a Rolex authorized service center, a claim worth confirming directly if that distinction matters for your particular piece or warranty situation. Beyond Rolex servicing, the store's broader trade is in fine jewelry, diamonds, custom design, and rare coins, and it has operated at this Irvine location since 1979 as part of a family business that also runs a sister store in Anaheim Hills.
For anyone with a Rolex that needs a service, a polish, or a general check, this is a jeweler with watchmaking capability on site rather than a standalone watch repair specialist, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm exactly what work they can do on your specific model and what it will cost.
The shop keeps regular weekday and Saturday hours and is closed Sundays, standard for a neighborhood jewelry store rather than a watch-only operation.
