KAY Jewelers

KAY Jewelers at South Plains Mall in Lubbock pairs its jewelry counter with an in-house watchmaker who handles Rolex, Omega and Grand Seiko watches. That's a narrower lineup than you'd find at a general watch repair shop, so it's a sensible stop if your watch is one of these three brands, less so if it isn't.

The shop says it is an authorized Rolex and Omega service center, which would mean work on those two brands follows the makers' own standards and parts sourcing. As with any such claim, it's worth confirming directly with the store what that covers — a battery swap, a full movement service, or just inspections and referrals out.

As a jeweler with a watchmaker rather than a dedicated repair bench, expect the shop to also handle the usual jewelry-store sideline: battery changes, strap and bracelet adjustments, and basic repairs alongside its core brand work. Pricing sits in the mid-to-upper range (tier 3 of 4) but no specific figures are listed, so get a quote before you commit to a service.

The store keeps mall hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. KAY's site points customers toward booking an appointment online rather than just walking in, which is worth doing if you want guaranteed time with the watchmaker rather than just the jewelry staff.
