don't know if this has already been covered, but the BH service center is open for business again. i was there today to have my watch checked out (no charge). rep said turn around is about three weeks. ~$600 or so depending on situation.

just a heads up for those in the greater LA area so you don't have to send your watch away, just drop it off in person. everything is done at location, in-house.

same building, same address.

What was the reason for the shutdown,renovation,new management or what?

burger'n'fries · 10 January 2012, 09:18 AM

didn't ask, but they're open for business.

Tri-Tip · 10 January 2012, 09:21 AM

Is this the one that used to be on Bundy near Olympic? Had one serviced there almost 20 years ago.

Z-Sub · 10 January 2012, 09:24 AM

Economy turning around

That's good news and I'd like to pay it a visit.

no, it's off of Wilshire + Beverly Dr. a couple blocks from the Rodeo Dr. shopping area.

can't miss it, big "Rolex" sign on wall. i think the entire building is owned by rolex.

Good to know.......my GMT is due for service.

Wolfgang427 · 10 January 2012, 09:36 AM

I think it was closed because of a lack of watchmakers available(retired). Good to see it back in business.

matt4hand · 10 January 2012, 10:18 AM

Yep,

Here it is

azguy · 10 January 2012, 10:42 AM

That's good news

liuk3 · 10 January 2012, 11:31 AM

Thats an Omega service center now.

roger0770 · 11 January 2012, 08:49 AM

is this an independent or rolex owned rsc? i couldn't find any information about it on rolex.com

sea-dweller · 11 January 2012, 02:34 PM

Wow!

It shutdown in 2008 or 2009 and now it's open again! Great news.

I had my GMT II bezel insert changed there in Sept, 2004 while in LA for a business trip. Staff were great there.

nlpamg · 11 January 2012, 05:07 PM

Good to know!

I know when I bought my GMT-IIc at Geary's in December, they told me their watchmaker came from the Rolex RSC in BH. Didn't know it was open again.

Sorry to go OT, but there's an Omega Service Center in West LA? I can't find it on the Omega website, but I see it here: http://chronomaddox.com/omega_authorized_service.html

Is it that Walter Gooden, Inc.?

Thanks!

I don't think Walter Gooden has anything to do w/ the Swatch place, they took over his old spot on Bundy in W.L.A.
It's 2050 S. Bundy Dr. #290 W.L.A., Ca. 90025 (310)820-2450

Clay · 11 January 2012, 08:39 PM

I had hear they were opening up again....Used to send all of my watches there...
They were the best!!!

Oh awesome, so this is a Swatch place?

I'm going to try to see if I can get some service on my Omega SMP.

Thanks!

Let us know how it goes.

noche619 · 20 February 2012, 02:59 AM

does anyone know if they would do warranty work there? or would they just evaluate it and then send to New York or something?

Marrk · 20 February 2012, 03:03 AM

As recently as last month, they told me that they would do all the work that they could (including warranty), but would send other jobs to RSC Dallas. I have the impression that eventually they will have a pretty full service routine there, but with fewer watchmakers on staff. Fewer than before they closed.

noche619 · 20 February 2012, 03:32 AM

thanks Marrk...I'll give them a call

Walter C. Gooden, Jr. died September 15, 2009 (Google "Walter C. Gooden); posted in LA Times; operation sold to Swatch, moved? Don't know if new BH SC is related.
