Jeweler with a watchmaker

McCarty’s 1923

Belmont Shore jeweler with an on-site watchmaker handling full-service overhauls, polishing and vintage repair on Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling

McCarty's 1923 is a Long Beach jewelry store on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore that has operated since 1923 and keeps a watchmaker on site for repair work. Services include full overhauls, case and bracelet polishing, and vintage watch repair alongside the shop's jewelry business.

Brands serviced include Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko. The shop says it is an authorized service center for the same lineup — Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko — though that status comes from the shop itself and isn't independently verified here.

The store is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30am to 6pm, and closed Sunday and Monday. Appointments can be booked online, including a short repair drop-off slot, or arranged by calling or texting (657) 345-5844. Reviewers mention both new and estate jewelry sales alongside watch repair work, and the shop has a long-standing presence on 2nd Street with its original vintage neon sign still lit at night.

On Watch Almanac's pricing scale, McCarty's sits at a mid-range tier (3 of 4), though no specific service prices are published on the site, so it's worth confirming cost at drop-off.
