Jeweler with a watchmaker

Journey Jewelers and Repair

Oklahoma City jeweler with an on-site watchmaker offering same-day watch battery replacement and bracelet sizing.

Journey Jewelers and Repair is primarily a jewelry shop in South Oklahoma City, handling ring sizing, stone setting, and custom design work at the bench. For watches, the shop lists battery replacement and bracelet sizing as services, carried out by an on-site watchmaker rather than being sent out.

Turnaround on watch work is same day, in line with how the shop handles most of its jewelry repairs. The shop is set up as a jeweler with watchmaking capability on site, so it's a fit for straightforward watch needs like a dead battery or a bracelet that needs links removed or added, rather than full mechanical movement servicing.

The shop sits at 13316 S Western Ave, Ste L, in Oklahoma City, and is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, closed on weekends. Pricing falls in the moderate range for the area. The business has been run by the Sanchez family, with Robert Sanchez Sr. and his son Robert Jr. opening the current shop together in 2014 after Robert Sr.'s earlier apprenticeship at the bench.

For anything beyond a battery swap or bracelet adjustment, such as a movement overhaul or water resistance testing, it's worth calling ahead to confirm whether the on-site watchmaker can take it on or whether it would need to go elsewhere.
