United Watch Services

United Watch Services is an independent watchmaker's shop a few blocks from Union Square, working on full services and overhauls with a focus on Rolex and Omega watches. The shop also carries a small selection of pre-owned pieces, mostly Omega Speedmasters and a Rolex ladies' model, alongside the repair counter.

The shop says its watchmakers were factory trained and certified by Omega, including training on the Co-Axial escapement, and that the team includes a certified Ebel service dealer watchmaker. It also states that one of its watchmakers previously ran a Rolex service center in Saigon, Vietnam, and that the location has been inspected by a technical field director from a Swiss watch factory. These are claims made by the shop itself rather than something that can be independently verified, so anyone with a brand-specific concern should ask directly what credentials apply to their watch before dropping it off.

Pricing here sits at the top end of the scale for the shops in this directory, which tracks with the kind of overhaul and brand-specific work on offer rather than quick battery swaps alone. The shop is open six days a week, Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 3pm, closed Sundays. It's located at 210 Post St, suite 613, in the Union Square area of downtown San Francisco, and the shop notes it serves clients from across the Bay Area, including Oakland, Marin and San Jose, as well as mail-in service from other states.
