Rolex Service in Los Angeles Area?
I have a Rolex Daytona that for some reason after I took it off last week no longer wants to wind up??

Rikk, one of the guys that have serviced more Rolexes than anybody the right way is Armen in Montrose. If you are in LA it is worth a visiit. He is properly trained and serviced like Rolex Center with access to parts. Believe me you wantt to to contact him especially for Daytona.
His phone number is 818 319-8045. Montrose Watch Company. |

A great watchmaker named Ernesto at 'Jewels by Ten Brink' in West LA.

Real friendly, real knowledgeable, a lot of experience with Rolex watches and such. Sent Armen the watch and he followed up with a phone call once he received the watch. Armen gave me a 4-6 week lead time and said he would totally disassemble the watch and take photos. Being that the watch did not work, I was told it was most likely the main spring by everyone, Armen said the spring replacement was a normal the service so it was all good my mind. Turns out the spring as well as the hub the spring sits in had a few broken teeth on it which meant it needed to be replaced also. As part of Armen’s service he polished the watch and band. He sands the bezel backside on a lathe as well as the band. The paint in the chronograph dial was coming off from the day I got the watch and after the watch was cleaned and polished the rest of the paint on the numbers is gone so at least it looks cleaner. I went to pick the watch up as I had to go to Pasadena yesterday and Armen gave me a full tour of his workshop. Armen has a fully sealed workshop with hepa filters and air gap doors separating one area from another. Armen has a full array of technical machines to test the watches as well as cleaning machines. He can test the watches in a vacuum chamber and a pressure chamber to certify the watches for specific depths. Armed has a lot of specific tools, machines and jigs for the watch repair. Armen showed me photos of a Daytona that was from Paul Newman, that he had just serviced last week. Armen has a safe full of watches that are sent in to him for repair from around the country. So if anyone is looking for a service center for your watches, Rolex, IWC, Breitling and others, he’s certified for all the brands and goes to the watch training school twice a year. He’s actually featured in their advertising articles as well as their web site. |
