Timepiece Fix

Largo workshop near St. Petersburg handling battery swaps, full overhauls, pressure testing and case/bracelet polishing on Rolex and Omega watches.

Timepiece Fix is an independent watchmaking shop at 1901 W Bay Dr in Largo, just outside St. Petersburg, with an on-site watchmaker handling the work in-house. The shop services Rolex and Omega, and the team says it is an authorized service center for both brands, a claim worth confirming directly if that status matters for your watch.

Work on offer covers the basics through to a full mechanical overhaul: battery replacement, pressure/seal testing, complete disassembly and movement servicing, gasket replacement, and case and bracelet polishing. The shop's own materials describe additional bezel refinishing work tailored to specific Rolex references such as the GMT-Master, Day-Date and Submariner, aimed at restoring original geometry rather than just a generic polish.

The business traces its roots through three generations of watchmaking, starting with an Olma Swiss watch dealership in Mosul in 1945 and a Patek Philippe, Rolex and Omega showroom in Baghdad from 1976, before the current owner opened Timepiece Fix in Florida in 2010. That lineage is the shop's own account of its history.

Pricing sits at the higher end of the local market (tier 4 of 4), consistent with a shop positioning itself around collector-level Rolex restoration rather than quick walk-in battery changes alone. Hours are limited to weekday mornings, so calling ahead to check availability or book a drop-off is the practical move before making the trip to Largo.
