Tag Heuer Watch Repair

Tustin watchmaker handling battery swaps, full overhauls, crystal and bracelet work on brands from Rolex to Tag Heuer, with mail-in service available.

This independent shop on West First Street in Tustin has an on-site watchmaker handling everything from a $25 battery swap to a full movement overhaul starting at $650, with turnaround typically running one to three days depending on the job.

Work covers a wide brand list: Tag Heuer, Omega, Cartier, Rolex, Breitling, Tudor, Tissot, Vacheron Constantin, Longines, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Seiko, Citizen, and a long tail of others including Ebel, Lecoultre, and Wittnauer. Services include crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, pressure (water resistance) testing, and vintage watch repair alongside standard full-service overhauls. The shop says it is an authorized dealer for Seiko, Citizen and Pulsar, and also lists Rolex among its authorized brands, though that claim should be confirmed directly with the shop.

For customers not local to Orange County, mail-in service is offered, which is useful if you're sending in a vintage piece or a brand they don't see walk-in traffic for. The shop is open seven days a week except Sunday, 10am to 6pm, making it reasonably easy to drop off or pick up a watch around a work schedule.
