Jeweler with a watchmaker

Market Street Diamonds

Jeweler on Pennsylvania Ave NW in Washington, D.C. with an on-site watchmaker handling full services, repairs and polishing on Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer

Market Street Diamonds is a jewelry store on Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Northwest Washington that also runs a watch repair bench with an on-site watchmaker. Alongside engagement rings and fine jewelry, the shop handles full-service overhauls, vintage watch repair, case and bracelet polishing, and bracelet sizing.

Work is done on Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko watches. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex and Omega, though that status comes from the shop itself and isn't independently verified here. The watchmaker holds AWCI and CW21 certifications.

This is a good stop if you've got a vintage piece that needs its movement serviced, a bracelet that needs a link removed, or a case that's picked up enough scratches to warrant polishing. Given the brand list and the jewelry-store setting, expect pricing on the higher end of the scale rather than a basic mall kiosk battery swap.

The shop is closed Sundays and Mondays, open Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 to 18:00 and Saturday 11:30 to 17:30. No turnaround times or specific prices are posted, so it's worth calling ahead at (202) 552-5744 to check on both before dropping off a watch.
