Pinky's Watch and Jewelry Repair is a jewelry store that also keeps a watchmaker on staff, so it covers both jewelry work and watch repair under one roof. On the watch side, the shop handles battery replacement, bracelet sizing, and full service and overhaul work, which covers the kind of job where a movement is cleaned, lubricated, and regulated rather than just patched.

The address listed is on E 8th St in National City, even though the shop appears on the Chula Vista page of this directory, so it's worth double-checking the exact location before driving over. There's no listed website, so a phone call is the most reliable way to ask questions ahead of a visit.

Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm, with the shop closed on Sundays. No pricing, turnaround times, or specific brand authorizations are listed, so anyone with a particular brand or a time-sensitive repair should call ahead to confirm the shop can take it on and get a sense of cost and wait time.

As a jeweler-plus-watchmaker setup, this is a reasonable stop for routine watch maintenance paired with jewelry needs, though the lack of published pricing or turnaround details means some of that has to be settled with a phone call rather than online.
