I had a compass with a clasp with a pins that sliding off. Mr. Simon kindly repaired it on the spot at no charge. Charming older gentleman. read more

After a somewhat exhaustive search for just the right horologist, I came across Mr. Simon for a Rolex repair. I'd installed a sapphire crystal on the watch -- it normally uses an acrylic one -- but it interfered with the watch movement and my ability to secure the movement to the case. I couldn't figure out why so I brought the watch to Mr. Simon. Experience counts. He found the issue, rectified it and when I received the watch back, not only did it "run like a swiss watch", but cosmetically it appeared cleaner. Mr. Simon defines the word professional and hands down, I would trust him with ANY make or model of precision timepiece. His pricing is also more than fair. I would 100% take my Rolex to him again for any repair! Thank you, Mr. Simon. read more

Incredible service and price ! My Seiko Kinetic watch went out a few years back. this watch is very sentimental as my wife purchased it for me. everywhere I called said it take months on back order.! I saw the reviews here and went in. I was quoted a price over the phone that was 1/4 of the lowest price ! Low and Behold the gentlemen fix it at the price quoted and taught me things on my watch I never knew existed ! With over a a half century in this business and the ethics to boot. I am happy and need not go anywhere else. Thank you read more

There is a reason that every review for this shop is 5 stars. It's because Mr Simon rates it. He is a delightful man and a true artisan. His work is first rate and his prices are very reasonable. He fixed an old Rolex that was of a style that was being discontinued when I bought it back in 1988. (He even gave me tips on how to make it last longer) I would trust this man to work on any piece of jewelry my wife and I own. In case you haven't gotten the message. He is adorable and you will leave his shop wanting to adopt him as your grandfather. read more

Phillip Simon definitely earns his rating. This what customer service looks like. My wife had some earrings modified. The work was fast, reasonably price and great quality. read more

Correction to a previous review posted by someone else: "He is located in building E of the complex at 900 NE Loop 410, just west of the magic time machine.  He is in office 221." CORRECTION! He is in Suite 112. Enter the complex off of 410, slight right to Crownhill. You'll see the La Fonda sign. He is in that building. read more

Another visit to this absolute gem of a person..fixed my old Rolex watch on site while I waited ..his fee was beyond reasonable, and a pleasure to be around him as well.

Mr. Simon repaired my heart shaped necklace watch. Cleaned the chain that was tarnished. Examined an old watch I brought in, assessed it, but I decided not to proceed. Instead, I purchased a pocket watch for my husband. He explained the piece and how it worked. Very professional, patient, kind and very reasonable rates. Continued Success, Magdalena read more

If you're looking for the best care for your jewelry and watches, look no further than this hidden San Antonio gem. Mr. Simon is a diamond in the rough industry of watch and jewelry repair. He sells fine watches, too, but until I can save my pennies for the watch I want I'm going to keep bringing my old timepieces over for routine maintenance. The same way you'd take care of a car or your home, your watches keep you on time (or let you know exactly how late you already are), so keeping up with them is key to having them around for a while. Phillip Simon has been in the industry for over 65 years, the man knows what he's doing. Drop in for a quick chat with the man who's been a San Antonio watch pro since before the population of the city hit 180,000 and you'll never take your bling anywhere else. Oh, and his prices are phenomenal! You won't believe your ears! read more

Look no further. Mr. Simon is an expert who is fair, friendly and faster than the big chains. He's now in the Petroleum Center off 410/New Braunfels. I've used him twice and both interactions were fantastic. He's repaired a watch and cleaned a ring. Both turned out good as new. read more

Such a nice man! Cleaned a silver necklace for me FOR FREE and in under 15 minutes. Will definitely be going back for any future jewelry-related needs. Fair warning that the building complex he is located in is a little labyrinth-like, but don't be deterred! read more

I stumbled across this watch shop, thanks to Google and Yelp, while running errands all ariund town. My favorite watch had died and I had been carrying it around in my purse for a couple of weeks. He has limited hours, so call ahead and make sure he will be open. But if you can, support this business! The owner is a super kind older gentleman who loves what he does. He will make you feel welcome and your business appreciated. He greets you when you come in and gets the work done quickly! His prices are fantastic and he takes the time to reset the time on your watch. He accepts cards and will give you a receipt. He also sells clocks and watches and it looks like he does engraving work too. I'm glad I found this little business and I hope he continues to get support from the community. read more

Mr. Simon is a delightful man and does very nice work. You can tell he truly just enjoys what he does. He fixed a very old pocket watch I purchased at an antique auction 48 years ago and never ran. It was so old it had two keys, one to wind it and the other to set the time. Mr. Simon saw it as a challenge and I'll be darn if he didn't get it running and keeping good time. He has fixed other pocket watches for me and some old watches that my long-gone father left me. They all run like new now. He is just plain amazing! read more

I was in San Antonio for work for a couple days and wanted my watch strap adjusted. I found this place on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. Philip is one of the nicest people I have met in a long time. He adjusted my strap at no cost. We then ended up talking for a while and covered everything from Seiko movements and the reliability of Omegas and Rolexes to his recipe for longevity. (He is 92!) He is a master at his craft and a great human being. read more

Mr Simon is now located in the Petroleum Center in Building E. It's closest to Lafonda alamo heights on Crownhill. He's simply the best there is. I saw him when he was located in his old location to get a ring resized and it was quick and great craftsmanship. From fixing a strand of pearls to a battery replacement in a watch. I won't go anywhere else for any jewelry needs. Shop local and you won't be disappointed. read more

We've used Mr. Simon in the past at his downtown location and we were very happy. Needed to have a couple of watch batteries replaced and found that he'd moved to a new location, so we stopped in. Same fantastic service and easy and free parking. We couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Mr. Simon! read more

Update to Pete G. on my recent review... Phillip Simon Jewelers moved to 900 NE Loop 410, Suite E112 (not 8112)

After reading all these reviews I had to meet Phillip! You all were right! He is so great! So kind! I have been dreading getting batteries for three of my watches because I thought it was going to cost me a fortune. I took them to him based on everyone else's reviews and they were spot on! All three of my watches are working and it didn't cost near as much as I thought. He told me he would have given me a deal but because my watches were so tight and they were giving him trouble he had to charge me. I totally understood and didn't question it. When he told me the price I honestly still thought it was a great deal and couldn't believe it could have been cheaper. I truly enjoyed meeting him and watching him work. He also does jewelry repair which has me excited to take my diamond ring to him to possibly be resized and reshanked. Parking was a little interesting in the middle of the day. The lots were full and expect to pay anywhere from $3-$10 depending on where you park. Thank you all for your reviews and for helping me find him and Thank You Phillip for bringing my watches back to life! Totally go to him! read more

The only place to take your watch! I've known Mr. Simon for most of my life, and have seen his business remain successful in San Antonio for many many years. Trustworthy and affordable. read more

Mr. Simon is the best. I take all my watches to him. He works on many different types. Very experienced!

Fantastic professional service from Mr. Simon. He immediately looked at my watch that had been previously diagnosed as scrap even though it's a RWeil. Long story -short I got a working watch and new band in less than 20 minutes. 5 stars!!!! read more

We had an old wedding trio that we are passing on to our son. He switched all the stones and polished it. He loves it. We gave my original diamond to him and replaced my stone on my current ring. No issues was able to have it done and are 110% satisfied. read more

He was so nice. Did such a great job on fixing my ring, and it was at such a great price!

Wonderful service and very fair prices. I was looking for a jeweler who could resize and repair a ring and was directed to Mr. Simon's shop from someone on Reddit and I'm very grateful. He now has two new and loyal customers with my husband and I. read more

This man has clearly been in the business for many decades. In spite of his advanced age, the challenging work I gave him was flawless. His price was more than reasonable. I almost felt guilty about paying him so little. He is a one man show in a small office. I did go shortly after opening time to pick up my order and he wasn't in so an extra trip was required. Nonetheless I would recommend him highly. read more

God Bless this man!! Called, said he was pretty sure he had a crystal for my Hamilton Khaki Automatic. Asked him to give the band a slosh in the soup, it needed it bad, said give him an hour. Like new, simply old school service and not nearly enough of a charge, obviously a labor of love. He reminds me of my grandad. Best!! read more

A true gentleman. He is knowledgeable and very professional. Mr Simon does great work. Thank you.

Wow. This man is so kind. Great little place to take watches and jewelry. I'm going home to bring in more broken items to him because I trust him thoroughly. He's 85 and has been in the business for decades. Suggestion-park at the Weston, cheapest parking (3 hours were $7). Walk the block around to St Mary's. Pass the cafe and the unmarked dark double doors open up into a lobby. Take elevators to 3rd floor and he is directly in front of you. read more

After being quoted nearly $1,000 to repair my Rolex from the same place I purchased it, I searched for 2nd opinion. I found Mr. Simon while looking on YELP for a well reviewed jeweler (watch repairs). Solely based on customer reviews I decided to give Mr. Simon a try. To my surprise I was quoted fraction of the price and the turnaround was just a couple of days. Well done Mr. Simon, Thank You for what you do! read more
