Can't believe this is my first time coming here as both of us have been an Encinitas for 30 years! What a hidden asset for us!

I cannot recommend the Tudor Boutique at Fashion Valley enough! Up until recently, I had never…read morespent more than $50 on a watch in my entire life. Making the leap to purchase a Tudor Black Bay Bronze for around $5,500 was a massive milestone for me, and I was a bit nervous about the experience. Thankfully, I was assisted by Elide, who made the entire process absolutely unforgettable. Elide made the experience feel incredibly special, welcoming, and exciting. Her knowledge, passion, and genuine enthusiasm turned what could have been a simple transaction into a memory I will cherish every time I look at my wrist. If you are looking to pick up a phenomenal timepiece and want world-class service to match, do yourself a favor and visit this boutique--and definitely ask for Elide!

This was my first experience buying from any boutique and my first big watch purchase. I decided to…read morebuy a Tudor and from this boutique because of how they treated me and my wife when we came in the first time to browse and try on watches. The assistant store manager that helped us, Elide, was very welcoming, courteous, and knowledgeable. So when I decided to pull the trigger and buy my first luxury Swiss watch I sought her out and her and the staff's customer service was nothing short of outstanding! They treated my family and I like royalty. They offered gave me some whiskey on the rocks and my wife champagne while they adjusted my watch size. After the purchase Elide continued to educate us on the history of the watch and how the model came about. Needless to say they have made a fan out of my wife and I. As a sister brand to Rolex, the big brother brand can learn something from Tudor. I have been put off by the way Rolex ADs treat their customers and don't even want to set foot in them. I hope that Tudor stays true and doesn't go down the Rolex route. Shout out to Elide and her staff!!!

From start to finish, our experience was absolutely exceptional!…read more My husband initially reached out about a Rolex we were interested in, and Christy was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. Since she would be off on the day we were available, she connected us with Nicole, who took amazing care of us during our visit. Nicole was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely excited to help us. She spent time showing us several Rolex models, answered all of our questions, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress free. Every team member we interacted with was welcoming, kind, and professional. When we finally received the call that our watch had arrived, it was from our original sales associate, Christy. She coordinated everything perfectly with my husband, and when we made the trip to pick it up, the experience exceeded every expectation. The watch was exactly what we had hoped for, and the pickup felt like a true celebration. We were greeted with the sweetest balloons, treats, champagne glasses, and such positive energy. The attention to detail was incredible. Christy even offered to take photos for us, making the occasion feel even more special and giving us memories we'll always cherish. Purchasing a Rolex is a milestone, and both Christy and Nicole made it an unforgettable one. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care made the entire process seamless, exciting, and fun. We couldn't be happier and look forward to working with them again in the future. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients, ask for Christy. She turned a dream purchase into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Christy, for going above and beyond. And thank you, Nicole, for helping make the journey so enjoyable from the beginning. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the level of customer service is truly second to none.
