Victor provided excellent service for the three watches I brought in for battery replacement. He also pressure-tested my Burberry watch to a depth I'll never come close to, which gave me great peace of mind. Everything was completed in under an hour--fast, efficient, and a great value. What really stood out was his professionalism and willingness to help beyond the basics. He even recommended another store at Manhattan Beach Mall for a ladies watch I'm considering as a birthday gift. Highly recommend. read more

Victor is the man! Fixed me Fendi watch and sized my Off-White watch. Highly recommend.

When I brought my dad's 40+ year old Rolex to be serviced, Victor didn't just see a watch he saw a family treasure. The watch hadn't never been serviced before, it had water damage, and a chipped glass. Today I picked up a watch that looks brand new. Very competitive pricing in comparison to what the Rolex shop in Santa Monica would've charged me. He also fixed my wife's Dior watch and replaced the battery on a Michelle watch. Thank you Victor for your kindness and excellent service. read more

Fast response and very timely in the watch repair, thank you Victor! Very convenient location as well.

"The Watch Whisperer on Highland Ave" I've been here twice now and wanted to wait before posting, but this place absolutely deserves five stars. Victor is awesome -- both times I walked in without an appointment, he helped me right away and clearly knows his craft. The first visit was for my TAG Formula One that needed a new battery and full service, which he handled quickly while I walked my dog. (Bonus -- he keeps dog treats outside the shop.) The second time I brought in my '80s two-tone Seiko GS -- same style worn in A View to a Kill from the 007 series -- and while he didn't mention the Bond connection, he complimented it right away and said it was a very cool watch. Pricing is super reasonable, and the quality of work speaks for itself. Victor's fun to talk watches with, extremely knowledgeable, and just a great guy all around. I'll keep coming back as long as I'm in the area. read more

Was a bit nervous about a 1960's GMT 1675 I'd just bought. Seemed a little off. Vic took a look & assured me it all looked legitimate. Was very relieved. Good guy. I'll be back with it & more for a service! read more

Always professional and savvy on the job that needs to be done for any watch. It's not about money, it's about service.

I just got my grandfather's Omega automatic back from service. He bought it on a visit in 1966 to his hometown in Italy. My dad wore that watch for many years, and it eventually passed to me. I'm so happy to be able to finally wear it. If you have a family heirloom, take it to Victor. He will treat you right--he understands what it means to you. As an added bonus, just standing in his shop for a few minutes is a treat for the senses--stop by and you'll understand. It's the coolest shop in town! read more

I called to see if they had leather bands for Rolex. The owner, Victor , messaged me right back with a "yes" and gave me his schedule and hours he would be available at the shop ( very nice). When I showed up , I could tell he was the real deal . A knowledgeable and respected business in the community. I brought him two older Rolex Datejust that I haven't worn in a while because the original bands were stretched and worn out . He pulled out a vast supply of quality leather bands , and I had no problem finding replacements for my watches. As a bonus , Victor suggested authentic, Rolex buckles to match the watches ! BINGO !! Just perfect ! I will definitely be back to Victor's store ! Truly a jewel in the South Bay ! Thank you ! read more

Victor's work is top notch! I took my used estate sale Rolex in & he made like new again! Wife confessed that she didn't like it when I initially bought it... wasn't in the best shape. She's not saying my that now! Thanks Vic! read more

Went in to get my uncle's old G-Shock Riseman's battery replaced. I'd rather pay more to have it fixed and last longer than take it to a cheap place and have it break again. Victor was very kind and got it fixed in a couple of days. Although I couldn't go in and pick it up until a couple weeks later, he completely understood. Watch was all set up and works amazing. Great customer service. Highly recommend. Support local! read more

Quality service on a Rolex watch. Right in downtown which makes it convenient. Less expensive than getting it done by Rolex and watch looked beautiful. read more

Walked in today without an appointment and was able to get my 25 year old Tag Heuer battery replaced and pressure tested. The guy is passionate about watches and will stand behind his work. Just call ahead to make sure he is there. Very chill guy and I will be going back for future repairs. read more

Such a funky little secret spot - excellent service. He fixed two old family watches for me and I feel good about taking other heirlooms to their shop in future. read more

Victor is straight up awesome and he's what makes MB Watch Repair such a joy to visit. Brought in a neo-vintage watch for service during the pandemic and somehow the turnaround was just around 4 weeks while everywhere else was quoting me 10+ weeks. He also made sure my watch was not polished and was as close to the original condition as possible, as I really wanted to keep the patina that my uncle helped built on the watch. Had to go back just a bit after a year due to an issue and he was able have the watch repaired under warranty even though it was out of the 1-year period. Was definitely surprised! Watch service can be pricey and Victor's also honest in terms of whether or not a watch should be serviced or if you can hold off on having it serviced. I've brought in watches just to have him take a look and give me suggestions, whether it is to have it serviced with him or taking it to the brand's service center. Love that transparency. During the last visit I saw a few vintage/neo-vintage gems in the case for sale. Haven't seen one yet that speaks to me but wouldn't hesitate at all to buy from him! read more

Victor Is Accommodating and Honest. I Trust Him and This Family Business 110% with My Time Pieces!! read more

wow. what a gem of a place. reasonably-priced and quick! Changed the battery in my watch and also removed a link while I waited. Thanks! read more

Victor really knows his stuff. I was taken advantage of by another watch repair company and Victor was able to give me the best advice and then provided me with excellent service. I couldn't be happier with my results and to finally have a working vintage watch back and running. I highly recommend Victor and his watch services and this was a really great experience. It's great to know there are still honest people out there, provided excellent service and know what they're doing. read more

The ultimate watch repair shop! If you have a watch you care about, you won't find a better place to take it for service or repair.

The best! I took a 30+ year old Tag that the original manufacturer said couldn't be fixed, and I picked it up yesterday and it's like new! Added to that, the owner is the most pleasant guy who really knows his stuff! Great shop full of memorabilia too - he even found an old Tag case and box that he gifted me :) read more

Fast, friendly and reasonable price! Went in for a band shortening and a band extension on two different watches.

Responsive through the app. Very welcoming and courteous. Fitted my new watch for me and made multiple adjustments to help get the right fit for me. read more

I cannot say enough about Victor @ Manhattan Beach Watch Repair: he is a true professional, honest and fair with the quote / price for watch service. He made sure I was satisfied with the outcome of repairing my Dad's ~1969 Thunderbird when it needed an overhaul. And, many months later, when a bar on the strap needed replacing, which was a very minor fix, he remembered me from the initial (more major) service and fixed it right away. This heirloom is certainly in good hands with Victor. read more

Brought my Omega Speedmaster to Victor today becuse the crown came out. He said it might be a bigger problem. He opened it up on the spot, examind it and discovered mechinism just needed to be tightened. Fixed in 10 minutes, charged me nothing. Very honest and friendly guy. His shop is part of the 1300 address but he has his own suite, so don't think he's gone. Well worth finding! -Nelson read more

This guy is the BEST. Very reasonable price for high quality work. Great communication and answers all my questions. He will always have my business read more

I have taken several watches for repairs and minor services and I am pleased with the service. The owner (Victor) explains what he is doing and in my case finished the work before the date promised. I have not sold or bought anytime form the store and can't comment on any of those services. read more

I've been in MB for 16yrs and have visited this location several times. Victor is known to be one of the best in his industry for over 30yrs. My last visit (which I consider lucky since the store hours are not common), I brought in a basic $150 watch to get a battery replaced. Victor was busy with someone looking at Rolex's. He took a moment to see what I needed and then quoted $55, stating he needed to use his pressure sealer machine to help prevent water damage. I declined and went to Engravable U & Watch Repair at the MB mall up the street. $15 and LITERALLY, 3 minutes later...I was out the door. I personally felt brushed off since I wasn't perhaps Rolex shopping. In addition, I never get my watch wet so it would have been nice if he gave a quote without the up-sale of the pressure gizmo. Still a great store for high-end watches. Thx. read more

This watchmaker is truly passionate about helping people with their watches. He refused to charge me for an authentication inspection the first time I visited his watch center. He didn't try to upsell any periodic services or products. It's been a while since I've dealt with a passionate and sincere professional/business owner that isn't revenue driven. I highly recommend this place and I'll be back for sure. Thank you Victor!! read more

Unfortunately, my opinion has changed dramatically. His prices for repair have become astronomical. I walked away stunned about what he wanted to charge me to change the battery in my Cartier watch. I was able to get it changed at a jewelry store for a fraction of what he was charging. Check it out if you want, but be prepared. read more

I was very disappointed in Victor, the owner, and his service of my Victorinox watch. He insisted close to $1,000 was necessary to perform a major overhaul on my timepiece. He outsourced the job and when I went in to pick it up, he told me proudly that I shouldn't have to service it for another 15 to 20 years. Well, 18 months later, the watch stopped working. I didn't want to admit to myself or anybody else that I had ben conned, so I bit the bullet and spent good and precious money somewhere else to get it properly serviced. But it made sense. If you've been taken for a ride, would you go back to get taken for a ride twice over? No. As they say, the first time it happens, shame on him. The second time it happens, shame on me. That's why I am writing this review. Avoid this con artist at all costs. read more

I have been to this shop and dealt with Victor for a very long time. Always honest, always fair, and always interesting! Go here to buy watches, buy straps, and get repairs. Going to the chain jewelers and high end watch stores is expensive, and going to the mall means you likely won't get the quality and knowledge you get with Victor. Go local, and trust Victor! read more

Victor is the best! Very helpful and knowledgeable. I'll be going to this shop for all my high end watch needs!!

Victor has been a pleasure to work with for the last fifteen years. His watch prices are fair, his watch services are excellent, his customer service is second-to-none, and he is a man of integrity. Big fan! read more

Victor is fabulous ! He came into his shop on Memorial Day Sunday. His service and professionalism with my 5 watches was beyond expectations. I had a crisis with a graduation gift and needed to be repaired ASAP. The crisis was adverted and things went well. Thank you again Victor for your outstanding service and knowledge. Thank you Steve read more

The owner really knows what he's doing. I'd trust him with any fine watches. He did a great job on a family heirloom for me.
