Jeweler with a watchmaker

Raybar Fine Jewelry

Virginia Beach jeweler with an on-site watchmaker handling watch case and bracelet polishing and bracelet sizing, with 24-hour turnaround on some repairs.

Raybar Fine Jewelry is a father-and-son bench jewelry shop in the North Central area of Virginia Beach, built around custom design and repair work done entirely in-house. For watches, the shop keeps an on-site watchmaker who handles case and bracelet polishing along with bracelet sizing, so a scuffed case or a bracelet that needs links added or removed can be addressed at the same bench where the jewelry work happens.

Turnaround on repairs has run as fast as 24 hours, based on customer feedback, though this will depend on the scope of the job and should be confirmed when you drop off a piece. The shop operates out of a showroom at 277 N Lynnhaven Rd, Suite 109, and also sells a curated selection of fine jewelry alongside its repair services.

This is a jeweler-first operation rather than a dedicated watch repair counter, so it's worth calling ahead if your watch needs movement-level service, a battery swap, or water-resistance testing, since the listed capabilities here center on case and bracelet cosmetic work. For polishing a case or resizing a metal bracelet, though, the on-site watchmaker setup means the work doesn't have to be sent out.
