Lukins Watch Repair

Independent Carmichael watchmaker offering full service, overhaul, vintage repair and case/bracelet polishing on Rolex, Omega and most other brands.

Lukins Watch Repair is a one-watchmaker shop in Carmichael, just outside Sacramento, handling full service and overhaul, vintage watch repair, and case and bracelet polishing. The work is done on site by the owner, who holds the Certified Watchmaker (CW21) credential and belongs to the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute.

The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex and Omega, and the listed recognition covers repair work on both brands specifically. Beyond those two, the site describes handling most brands and types of watches and clocks, including vintage pieces that often need parts sourcing or hand-fitting rather than straight part swaps.

Polishing is offered as part of the case and bracelet work, useful for anyone bringing in an older piece with scratched or dull metal alongside a service. A one-year warranty is mentioned on full service repairs, which is standard practice for this kind of overhaul work and worth confirming at drop-off for your specific watch.

The shop is open six days a week, Monday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday mornings into early afternoon, closed Sundays. It's a small, appointment-friendly operation rather than a large retail counter, so calling ahead before dropping off a watch, especially a vintage or higher-value piece, is a reasonable step.
