The Watch Repair Company

Phoenix watchmaker doing battery swaps, bracelet sizing and full service on Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Cartier and other brands, with fast turnaround.

The Watch Repair Company sits on East Indian School Road in Phoenix and is run by Nurel Yagudayev, who the shop says has about 30 years of experience working on luxury watches and fine jewelry. Day to day work includes battery replacement, bracelet and link sizing, and full service and overhaul, with an on-site watchmaker handling repairs rather than shipping them out.

Brands serviced include Rolex, Omega, Michele, Breitling, Cartier, Seiko, Bulova, Citizen, Invicta and Swiss Army. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Omega and Breitling, though that claim comes from the business itself and isn't something a directory can verify. Polishing is not offered here, so plan on a separate stop if your case or bracelet needs refinishing.

Turnaround is described as fast, and the shop's own customer reviews back that up, with several mentioning battery changes and link removals done in a few minutes while they waited. A battery replacement runs around ten dollars. Beyond watches, the shop also handles jewelry repair, stone resetting, and buys gold, silver, platinum, coins and gemstones, with free appraisals offered for repair work.

Hours run Monday through Friday, roughly 9:30 to 5:30 on weekdays (shorter on Friday), plus a Sunday window from 11 to 3:30. The shop is closed Saturdays. If you're dropping off a watch that needs more than a battery, it's worth calling ahead to check current turnaround and whether an appointment is preferred.
