Greg is exceptionally talented and real pro when it comes to watches. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my cherished time pieces. He knows how to repair all watches, from Rolex's to Seiko's. He's a true master and his prices are reasonable, if you want someone good. read more

This watchmaker is biggest CROOK I ever seen. He knows very little about watches, and his prices are very unreasonable. Compare to other watchmakers he is charging 20 times more .This is a big time SCUMMER. I wouldn't recommend Greg Watch repair if you are looking for good job with reasonable cost. read more

On the corner of 47th and 5th, on the lower level of a glitzy jewelry shop. Greg is definitely old school, expert. I had my watch resized and was quoted a fraction of what other dealers had quoted me. He's also super kind, quick. Straightforward. Will go to him for all of my watch repairs. read more

This is the nicest, most efficient, and expert watch repair person I have ever known. I have been taking things to Greg over a decade and have always been delighted with his work, his thoughtfulness, and his quiet good cheer. A real privilege for us in NYC. read more

A delight to deal with. Greg has a one room repair shop in the basement of a small jewelry mall. You walk in and have to proceed all the way to the rear. Look for the grey door that says Lower Level. Go down those stairs and look for Greg's small shop. This guy is old school. He's hunched over doing his work. You give him your watch, he looks it over, and usually says No Problem and offers you a price. I needed my watch band replaced. Greg did it in about five minutes and I was out the door with a watch that now looked brand new. read more

Like some of the other reviews said, I wouldn't have been able to find this place without Yelp. It's located in the basement of the jewelry store near the diamond district. To get to Greg's walk to the back of the jewelry store and down staircase D. There are several workshops located in the basement and Greg's is located about halfway down the hallway to the left. Greg changed my watch battery and cleaned underneath the glass in less than 20 minutes for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely return next time I need my watch serviced. Also, it's cash only. read more

Not much to say except that Greg is super fast. The longest part of the whole affair is finding the place. It's located in one of those mega jewelry stores on 47th St and 5th. There are a set of stairs located in the southwest corner of the building, where you walk into an area with windowless stores. Greg's spot is on the right side coming from the stairs. It took a total of 5 minutes for him to replace the battery for about $12. read more

Greg is an officer and a gentleman, I shall be back and will recommend for his excellent service and skill set. My one stop shop in future for any work. read more

So... as a (redundant, I know) broke New Yorker, I suddenly came in need of a resizing for my Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch, which was replaced (thanks, Ingersoll!) under warranty, but of course, came with the full band, not the nicely sized band I had set up on the original. Yelp came to the rescue, and with a little luck and Yelper's directions, I went down the unmarked door in the Jeweler's Exchange to lead me down to the basement. Around the corners, past the "Please keep feet off the walls" signs, and there it was. A half-door marked "Greg Watch Repair" .. I pulled out my watch, he slipped it around my wrist and said, "A couple minutes, sit down." I took a seat on the chairs in the hallway and before I could even check in on foursquare, Greg comes out and I try the watch on.. exactly perfect fit. $10 cash (cash only, kids) and I was on my way. I could not ask for a better experience. I highly recommend it. . . and tell him you saw it on Yelp. read more

Yelpers are on the money! Greg Watch Repair is an amazing subterranean oasis for broken watches. Brought my flagging Tissot there for a battery check and replacement and was topside in less than 10 minutes with the tick-tock back in action and the shirt still on my back. A shout-out to fellow Yelper Lexi M. for the flawless directions. I walked in there like I owned the place. Greg's a great guy, takes pride in his work, and has a great bedside manner when explaining issues. I almost want to buy some broken watches to bring to him... read more

Walked into Jewelry on 5th and asked about watch repair... they sent me down this long hallway in the basement and told me to find the "watch guy". He took my 2 watches (that needed new batteries) and said to come back in a 1/2 hour. I did, and when I returned he had my watches in hand and charged me a nominal fee... Very, very happy to have found this little joint in the basement! read more

Brought a new in and had links removed for only $10. Had to return a week later since it felt too lose and Greg didn't charge me. Great guy. read more

As many of the reviews mention, finding this little shop is an adventure, but worth it. located in the basement, of a 5th Ave Jewelry Store (5th Ave and 47th St) and down a long winding hallway, Greg's is a simple little one-man shop. He is fantastic!! He repaired my vintage watch strap and interior battery clasp - a watch I needed it ASAP for an acting job the next day - and Greg got it all done in less than an hour. Greg is friendly, professional, interesting and knowledgable. I highly recommend him. I will definitely go back the next time I need a repair. read more

Greg is the man! Fast, reasonably priced. Haven't given him a real challenge yet but if you need a new battery or watchband, this is the place in midtown. And a true NY experience... thanks to Yelp reviewers, I was prepared to venture into the bowels of the earth to find him. read more

UPDATE: Greg tried to flatten the dent. He maintains he did not cause it. I spoke with authorized Concord repair place and they said the only solution is to replace the face. Guess i will have to do that. Bummer. read more

Greg Watch Repair - UPDATE: Greg tried to flatten then dent, better but still there. - Watch Repair Near Me - New York, New York

I have been going to Greg for many years. He is always nice, skilled, knowledgeable, and reasonable. A real expert happy he can help people. It is always a pleasure to take that trek downstairs and down the hall and to leave with a great repair and gratitude that people like Greg are still available in NYC. read more

I used Greg twice. I was very happy with him although on one of the jobs I thought it took longer then neccesary but Greg told me he had a hard time getting the part. I certainly will use him again read more

Glad I had found Greg! What a wonderful experience it truly has been. I'm from Long Island and normally jewelers around the area very pricey and lack the customer service experience that Greg delivers. This was very convenient also do to the fact that I indeed work in Midtown. The crown on my watch was broken and the battery needed replacement. Greg had offer to fix it at a cost that was slightly below average to the market, which in turn is great for the consumer. I was in a bit of a rush to receive the watch back quickly. I had turned it over to him on a Thursday afternoon at around 3 pm and he had assured me that I'd be able to pick it up by 3 pm the following day. He had kept his word and went above and beyond to make sure that it met the deadline. When I went to pick up the watch he said he had a slight hiccup due to the fact that a certain piece was broken from the watch he originally appraised (was not his fault.) This notion DID NOT effect the timeline he originally assured me of, and for that I'm grateful. I'd highly recommend Greg to anyone who is reading this and considering choosing a watch repair specialist. He's truly a great man and loves what he does (it shows in his work). P.S. as other reviewers mention it can be bit cumbersome to find his specific spot withing Jewelers on Fifth. I'd recommend reading other people's reviews in addition, they provide detailed directions on finding him. Also, if need be feel free to give Greg a call, he's more then willing to walk you through on finding him! *Also note* this is a cash only business. Cheers! read more

So I've been going to Greg for years, and for years he has raised his price of a simple watch battery from I believe $10 or less when I first started going there to $20 the last time I went there about 10 months ago. So the last battery he put in my watch only lasted 10 months or so and cost me $20. Today I had to replace the battery and I went to another place right on1096 6th Avenue. The guy was very nice and super fast and only $10!! Guess where I'm going next time I need a battery replaced? It looks like Greg changes the prices of his batteries according to the weather or some other mysterious reason. I see below he charged somebody $15 for a battery. Bye Greg. read more

I brought in a number of watches. Three needed bands. A few hadn't been serviced in over 10 years. Several needed batteries. All were restored to working order for a reasonable price. read more

I just can't trust the guy. I brought in my semi-fancy Ebel Wave because the second hand was moving 5 seconds at a time - the sign that the battery needs to be changed. Greg said that it'd be $20 to replace the battery, extra because of the "water test". Fine, I waited for it to get done. 15 minutes later he told me that he tested the battery but it wasn't the problem, there was some other problem. I said that he could look into it, and that I would call him back. I called him back two days later, and he said that he fixed it, the cost was now $65. I complained that I hadn't authorized him to do work (I wanted to take it elsewhere to see if there actually was a problem beyond a low battery). He said that he'd lower the price to $50 to keep me happy. Then he told me that he had replaced the battery because it was low, and the contact because it was broken. Maybe everything he said was true, but he did work without my authorization, which made it impossible for me to take the "broken" watch elsewhere to see if it actually had a problem. read more

This guy is as good as it gets. He has loyal clientele and not looking to get rich (which is very important to me). I inquired with several jewelry stores on my way to his location and the prices out there are crazy. The "watch guy" in the basement was very cordial and I have now a dedicated person who will be working on my family's watches for years to come. Please give him a try - you will not be disappointed. read more

Greg couldn't replace the batteries in one of my watches for some reason so he walked me over to another shop that helped me right away. That was very nice of him. read more

Don't waste your time with this guy. I would score him a zero for customer service. Couldn't meet his own deadline which was over a month originally! Find a legitimate service shop, because this guy certainly isn't that! read more

Need a quick battery replacement job in the middle of Midtown but didn't want to go to a high-end jewelry/watch store and overpay. 5 minutes and $10 later, I was a satisfied customer thanks to Greg. Reliable and quick. Thanks again, Greg! read more

Quick, efficient and quite polite. Changed the leather strap on my watch transferred the genuine buckle to the new strap and made the stitching invisible. The place is located in the basement of the jewelry store. Quite hard to find without asking. read more

In an era of mass market and disposability, it is great to find an old fashioned craftsman who knows his area of expertise, cares about what he does and charges a fair price for his work. I would trust my most expensive watches to him. read more

I dropped off the watch, left to get cash, then came back and it was ready within 5 minutes. $10, and set to the correct date and time. Quick, reasonable, and friendly. I know it doesn't seem like much, but that can be reaaaalllly hard to find in Midtown. read more

Took 2 watches to get new batteries and they turned them around in 10 min for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. Bring cash!

Based on other Yelp reviews, I decided to try them out. I like small businesses where the owner really loves what he does. This place does not disappoint. Near impossible to find, but worth the effort. These guys are great - master watch repair professionals for ages. They are super cordial and charge way too little for their services. I highly recommend them! read more

Thank you yelpers for the heads up about taking cash with me and that it is located in the basement otherwise i wouldn't have dare to go there on my own. All in all the service was good and he was polite and charged $10 for resizing my watch. read more

BEWARE of this seller. I would give zero stars if possible. I took my Tag Heuer watch to him. He shows me a small chip of metal and informs me it means the movement is broken. I leave the watch for a price quote and the next day he says its $250 to change the movement. I retrieve my watch and buy a $37 movement from DRS and take it to Napoleon Flores watch repair, who informs me the "broken" movement is in fact NOT BROKEN and fixes my watch for a $5 battery change. read more

Had I not read the reviews, I wouldn't have been able to find this gem (pun intended) in the basement of a jewelery store on 5th. $10 to replace a battery with quick, friendly service. Worth the little adventure across town. read more

The impossible watch repair takes a while, but knowledge, skill, and a good disposition are as rare as Greg Watch Repair's excellent, reasonable service. Absolutely the very best! read more

Greg is the best. I walked in to have a battery replaced without calling beforehand. Within a minute, he had changed the battery and charged a very reasonable rate. No fuss, no muss. I highly recommend him! read more

I have been coming here for almost 20 years. I live in NJ and will only come here for all my repairs and battery replacements. He is the most honest and affordable place! Place in NJ wanted $70 for a quick watch battery change on my Tag. I pay $15 here and wait about 5 minutes! read more

Fast and reliable service at reasonable prices. I highly recommend Greg for any of your watch repair needs

Needed a link removal, Greg did this in 5 minutes. This place is hard to find though, it's in the jewelry store on the corner of 5th & 46th. Walk to the back of the store, open door at down exit sign, walk down 3 flights ( yes- sketchy but sorta fun) make a quick right, then a quick left, walk down hall, the room is 4th left. Will keep in mind if I ever need other watch repair services. read more

changed battery here. midtown on 5th ave. only charged me $10. very nice!!!!! I will definitely go back and recommend !!

I just came back from having the battery replaced in my watch and it literally took him 2 minutes! I didn't want to go to any high-end specialty watch shop and pay $40 just to have my battery changed. I only paid $10 with Greg!..Also, his office wasn't hard to find. What you have to do is take the elevator to the lower level and once you get off the elevator, walk down the hallway to his office which is the 4th door on the left. read more
