Have taken 2 vintage Rolex to Carlos in the last 3 years. Both early 1980s models. Both overhauls took about a week, and I am happy w the results. Carlos pricing is very reasonable, however it is cash only. read more

A wonderful man, patient as he could be with all those people that were waiting, these are the kind of old world craftsman everybody should deal with read more

I think this is same shop that used to be in the City of Orange back in 1994-1996. Right off Tustin and Katella. Service was excellent I still have in a good working condition a Tissot PR516 Chronograph that was fixed by Carlos. read more

Absolutely wonderful people, fantastic service and I highly recommend them!!! I will definitely go back to them again!

I'm a personal assistant and one of my employers needed a bunch of watches fixed. I looked around and found this place which I'm so glad I did. They were so fast, I took the watches in mid-day and got them back early afternoon the next day. They're extremely welcoming and friendly and in my opinion fairly priced. They're also cash only - you pay when you pick up your merchandise. I definitely recommend coming here for all your watch repair needs. read more

Carlos is simply the best! He is the only person I trust with my watches - honest, efficient, reasonable prices, and extremely knowledgeable. I've had many different watches serviced by him & have always been extremely pleased with his work, whether it's a simple battery change on a vintage Tiffany watch or having him replace a spring in my Rolex. It's quite rare to find someone as knowledgeable in their field and even more so that is honest & reasonably priced. Thank you Carlos! I highly recommend him to everyone. read more

I inherited a nice Movado and was unsure how much work would be needed to get it working again. After a short inspection, he found that only a new battery was required. The service was fast and courteous. read more

Replaced my watch battery for $10 and did a great job. Super friendly and most Importantly HONEST.

Carlos is the best! A surgeon of watches. He's been helping keep our omegas and Rolex's serviced and fixed for years. What I thought would be an expensive repair today was a 10 minute job and a very reasonable price. Thank you for the great work Carlos! read more

The owner really knows what he's doing and gave us a very reliable referral for a Concorde Watch that another repair shop was trying to rip us off for unneeded repairs read more

Carlos is the best, I took my 90s Rolex Submariner in for service to Grunbaum (last service was 10 years ago) , since I was having issues with it holding time. Carlos got the watch repaired fast and did an outstanding job. Thanks Carlos read more

Grunbaum is a great "hole-in-the-wall" small business! I was looking for a place to repair both the watches that we bought while vacationing in Italy. I wanted a place that doesn't send them out for repair and here at Grunbaum, Carlos does the work right there at his unpretentious window-lit counter. My Armani watch was previously repaired at another shop but stopped working shortly after. Carlos opened the watch and made a tiny adjustment while a waited, and now it works perfectly again. He charged me nothing. I left my husband's Maserati watch with him, which had a part on the face that came loose and needed to be reset. That repair and batteries for two other watches was extremely reasonably priced. Carlos provides excellent service and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this business! read more

Had a question regarding a Citizen 300m professional diver watch that I inherited years ago. Got my question answered super quick with a walk-in. read more

Can't recommend this place enough. No matter what your problem is, big or small, or what your watch is, expensive or cheap, this guy is amazing. I've been here a couple times over the past few years. Most recently I just needed a link out of a new Tudor I had got. He only charged me $5. When I told him I didn't have cash (cash only for less than $10 cost) he said just come back another time and pay me. This man is a legend! I came back a few days later and left $5 on the counter while he was at lunch (hope you got that btw!). 10/10 every time read more

I collect vintage watches and come in to see him once every month or two. Always great service from a wonderful gentleman. Everything is done just right and he is generous with his time and skills. Highly recommended. Thank you !! read more

They are so great at this shop. Always friendly and helpful. Carlos goes above and beyond for his customers, he let me in even as he was closing up for the weekend and stayed late to fix my watch.

I was looking for a place to get my MK watch batteries replaced on Friday. I'm all about efficiency - I knew I was going to be in the area, I was down the street at Valvoline getting my oil changed (Groupon for the win!) and decided to come here based on the reviews and price. This watch repair store is shared with 2 other businesses - jewelry and clothing alterations, which is convenient. CASH only - $10 for each battery replacement. Unfortunately one of my watches was broken (water??) and couldn't be fixed. Total was $20 for 2 watches and Carlos was quick at replacing the battery. I was in and out less than 10 minutes. Parking lot is shared with other businesses but there's plenty of parking. It's easy to get in and out of the business complex. Service: Fast and friendly! I'll definitely be back! read more

Grunbaum Watch Repair - Carlos got my Rolex Submariner working again... Thanks!!! - Watch Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I'm so glad I found Carlos at Grunbaum watch repair. After calling several different watch shops to get an estimate of what it would cost to repair my Rolex and getting super high quotes I decided to go with Carlos. He not only did not charge me to find out what was wrong with my Rolex he fixed it for way less than the other guys. I would definitely recommend giving him a call first. I saved several hundred dollars going to him. read more

Stopped by for my first time with this shop. I needed a battery replaced in a watch and the proprietor changed it in a minute or two and charged me 10.00...the least I have been charged for the same service in 20 years. Great attitude! All my watch repair comes here from now on! read more

Carlos is the type of guy that does this out of enjoyment so he puts a lot of care into his work. Carlos is the most honest, trustworthy, and skilled watch specialist I've ever been to. Ive taken two watches to him: a Rolex oyster perpetual which needed a overhaul repair and I've taken my omega speedmaster to him various times for modification / repair and he has charged reasonable prices and works very quickly yet with precision. I will never hesitate to bring any watches to him, and will continue to do so from here on out. read more

The best watch repair in Orange County. Fast, reliable and fair pricing. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

If you need any watch repairs please go see Carlos. He is the bomb in also very fair. This is a no-brainer

Several weeks ago I was gifted an amazing watch from my fiance. One day I left it out on my counter, and it was knocked down and stepped on by my cousin. The glass was bent inward, the back of the watch was popped out, and the watch didn't run anymore. I had lost hope, but I stopped by this place and dropped it off and Carlos fixed it so quickly and only charged me $5! I didn't have cash on me, but he said to drop it off later. I was shocked at how kind and helpful he was. I definitely recommend this place for any watch repair! read more

Wonderful service! Friendly, nice local place, quick repairs with very affordable prices. Very trustworthy and will be my new watch repair shop! read more

Went in for a resizing on 2 watches, he was fast and did a great job. Will recommend!
