Hi everyone,

I'm currently in San Diego and looking to buy my first Rolex watch. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a trustworthy shop where I can purchase an authentic Rolex with confidence. Additionally, I'm also searching for someone who can authenticate a watch for me. I've tried calling authorized dealers and other dealers, but they don't offer this service. I'm willing to pay for the authentication service if necessary. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Rolex has a shop in the Fashion Valley mall.

Do you mean to buy or authenticate? I've called them, and they do not offer an authentication service.

Visit D's Time Service in downtown and talk to Tom. He'll take care of that. Tony would probably take it to Tom as well if he had doubts.

Has anyone made a deal or know anything about Belmontwatches in San Diego?

Another for Ds Time. Tom has been great. I no longer live in SD but still send my 16750 there for service.

Tony Geha is in San Diego www.sdwatches.com. I’ve bought all mine and my wife’s Rolexes from him.

To further this thread, I will tell you that both Tom and Tony operate offices out of the same office building known as the Jewelry Exchange Building in Downtown San Diego. Tom Doan of D’s Time service was the Rolex Authorized Watchmaker for AD’s in San Diego for quite sometime, and all Rolex work from local AD’s were required to be sent to him if not going back to NY or Dallas. Again he literally ran the Rolex Authorized repair center that was located in the Royal Maui Jewelry at Fashion Valley Mall before Rolex removed their AD’s to open their boutique in 2020. He does amazing work, has a parts acct., and can certainly authenticate your watch. Additionally, I have personally done a lot of transactions w/ Tony over the years, and have not seen one instance of concern from my experience or others on this forum regarding Authenticity or sourcing etc.

You are all amazing and helpful! I have reduced the search to Tony and Tom and will stick to your advice. I found my desired model on Tony's web page, and got in touch with him. Thank you all

Tropicalwatch.com just moved from the Bay Area to SD earlier this year. Specialized in vintage but quite a bit of modern too. I think he’s in the Rancho Santa Fe area.
