Pacific In-2-Sta Watch Crystal Co. is a full-service repair shop at 210 Post St. in Union Square, run by Daniel Shing, an AWCI Certified Master Watchmaker. Work is done on-site, covering everything from a quick battery or strap swap to complete movement service and cleaning.

The shop services a wide range of brands, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Baume & Mercier, Breguet, Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breitling, IWC, Longines, Girard-Perregaux, Piaget, Tag Heuer, Movado and Vacheron Constantin. It also takes on vintage and antique timepieces, crystal fitting and replacement, bracelet sizing, and general clock and jewelry repair. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Breitling and Tag Heuer, though that status isn't independently verified here.

The business has been operating under this name for decades in San Francisco and previously ran a second location on Kearny St. that has since closed and merged into the Post St. shop. It currently operates by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 11 am to 3 pm, closed weekends. Anyone with a Rolex needing a battery, an Omega due for an overhaul, or a vintage piece with a cracked crystal can call ahead to set up a visit.
