Fixed a few of my necklaces with no problems. They only take cash. Everything went smoothly

I had such a great experience with this jewelry shop! I brought in my marathon medal to have it engraved, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly, patient, and really took the time to make sure the wording, font, and placement were exactly how I wanted. The engraving itself came out perfect--clean, precise, and beautifully done. read more

Village Watch Center - Watch Repair Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

I bought a non-working Longines at auction and immediately sent it off to the manufacturer for repair. Prohibitively expensive (even estimate took 90 days) so I went online to find someone local. That's how I found Village Watch Center. Online reviews were good. And, as it turns out, correct. My watch was fixed, not overnight but quickly, price was reasonable, and work is guaranteed for a year. Ari kept in constant contact and I even got a video of work being done. I'm a fan. read more

Village Watch Center - Vintage Longines - Watch Repair Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Dropped off a Movado watch for repair after I dropped it. It needed a screw to get watch face reattached to the band. I was told that I would receive a text a couple days later about status but didn't receive one. After calling and following up the next week, I got a reply promptly with a time to pick it up. My watch looks like I didn't drop it! read more

I had a Bulova watch repaired for my dad. Service was thorough and prompt, very easy to work with.

Quick turnaround. Great work! Very convenient location and communication by text. Thumbs up.

Fixed watch at reasonable price happy with services. They also communicated well. It took a little longer to repair than originally quoted but communicated this read more

Today was a great day because I received my Breitling watch back from the professional care of the Village Watch Center. I developed the ultimate trust and respect for Avi and his highly efficient repair team. The communication each step of the way was impressive even though my watch needed lots of TLC, I knew it was in good hands and never had a moment of doubt. Now my watch is like brand new and I will make it a yearly priority to continue to have my Breitling serviced at the Village Watch Center. TU Avi! read more

Village Watch Center - Watch Repair Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Avi is great, and he has serviced several watches for me at a fair price. But his saleswoman treated me like a beggar--twice-- because she didn't like my looks. I won't be going back. read more

Excellent service. Quick and thorough repair of my Hamilton watch. Avi and his team are amazing.

I had an excellent experience with Avi at Village Watch Center. He repaired my father's 1959 Omega Seamaster, a watch that has great sentimental value to me. He sent me photos as the service progressed including a pic of the new pallet fork in its packaging. It's rare to find someone you can trust with a family heirloom, but Avi delivered beyond expectations. I wear the watch regularly now. I recently purchased my first Rolex from him--a vintage Air King--and the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. Avi was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all my questions, (I had a lot of questions), and making sure I felt confident in my decision. I walked out knowing I got an unbeatable deal on a great piece in excellent shape. If you're looking for someone who truly understands and respects fine timepieces, I highly recommend Avi and Village Watch Center. Whether it's repairing a watch valuable to you or finding the right piece to add to your collection, you'll be in excellent hands. Before you go to chrono24, grailzee, or any other on-line vendor, TALK TO AVI first to get the best deal. read more

I brought 3 watches 2 vintage and 1 old dress watch for cleaning and bracelet replacement. While the 2 were vintage I would not call them valuable to anyone but me. I received them from parent or grandparent and want pass them on to my kids. I received a text with the cost ( a little high but the watches are worth it to me) . Unfortunately I went to pick them up today they looked exactly as they did when I dropped them off. When I asked about it I was shown a video of a watch being worked on I asked about the cleaning and bracelets and was told that as they are over 50 years old the bracelets and bezels are not available. I proceeded to show them that the dirt could be scraped off with my nail and question why they couldn't swap out a bracelet they then offered to try. I was quite clear in my texts and pointed out that at least 3 times I repeated what I wanted done in our text exchange I received a shoulder shrug. I paid ( only cash accepted) and left feeling ripped off. I followed up with a text expressing my disappointment etc and was told " we CAN do that" too little too late. I was really hoping to have a better experience as I dabble in collecting watches and was hoping to find a new venue to build a relationship I guess I will just keep looking. Also just googled the watches and found ample bracelets and bezels available, feel like because I didn't have Patek Philipe it wasn't worth it for them. Edit: Avi I did speak to you and let you know I was not happy when I picked up the watches and I followed up with a text message outlining each issue. To say you warranty the work for one year what exactly are you warranting? Bracelets that were not provided and cleanings that were not done. read more

We took in an heirloom watch to have it cleaned and working again. This is the rundown, the first issue was that the watch had stopped - they fixed that, then they seem to have put the hands back on so close that it scraped the logo off the watch face, and it stopped again. they tried to fix it again, and then it worked for about a month before the second hand popped off and it stopped again. It was a $160 bill. We will not be going back. I would steer clear of this business. read more

I needed my watch resized and came in on a Saturday, they were able to immediately help me and the job was done in a matter of minutes. Super friendly and professional, I highly recommend read more

We were extremely happy with the level of service we received at Village Watch Center. Responses to our initial inquiry on an older Seiko watch that's very sentimental were immediately responded to and we had a clear idea of whether or not Village Watch could repair it (spoilers - they could!). We dropped the watch off on a Saturday and then got a 2 week estimate but it was actually done a week early. Everyone involved was very nice, and the price to fix it was more than reasonable. It's hard to find parts and find anyone frankly that is even interested in fixing a watch from the 90s but you could tell they really cared and wanted to get it running again. We'll recommend Village Watch to friends who need any type of jewelry repair and certainly return if we have another item that needs some love! read more

I had my watch engraved here. It turned out great and looks amazing! Great service and the price was great too!

Great service for Longines watch service and repair Highly recommended. read more

Watches took longer than what he said. Work was good. Lil on the expensive side but they came highly recommended

Unfortunately after posting this review I noticed the face and hands of the watch were not like the original. You can see this in the original images. While back then the owner promised to address. I still have a watch I can't wear as it's not true to original. As the owner tried to disparage my name and review I have added photos of the conversation back in 2020 where I flagged the errors in the repair and his willingness to fix. My mother then passed away that same week and this watch was the least of my concerns. Now when I reached out to see if he was still willing to address I received no response and thus felt the need to update the review to my true and complete experience. The owner has yet to respond to my request but was quick to respond to my review. read more

Came in with an old clock they were able to fix. It had an old cord and now its battery operated

I was excited to learn that they could replace a badly scratched wristwatch crystal. It was the Saturday of Rosh Hashanah 2024, and the owner, Avi, was out of shop to observe the holiday. The personable young man minding the shop was a newer employee who told me that a battery replacement would cost $25 and the watch crystal replacement would cost $35 to $65, but likely not on the higher end since it was a "mineral crystal." He apologized that the owner was out of the shop, and assured me that no work would be completed before I received an estimate on Monday. On Tuesday, I get a text message: "Hi it's village watch the watch needed glass battery gasket 95$." I write back, "Hi, thanks for getting back to me with an estimate! Is the $95 just for the watch glass replacement? If so, I will pick up my watch later today." The response texts are: "Watch is READY. 95$ total" I'm confused and floored at the cost. I write, "I was told you would not do the work before providing the estimate." The response: "Battery 25$ glass 45$. 70$." Long story short, I have been told not to come back: "60$ is fine next time do not come to my shop thank U I only doing it because my watchmaker did the job. I'm not JEWELRY EXPRESS." This is fine with me: I do not want to give business to a shop that is so rude, barely-comprehensible, and inconsistent with client communication. I have uploaded images of our text exchange to Yelp to substantiate my review and prevent Avi from claiming I am not a real customer or other shenanigans. EDIT: as predicted, Avi came on to play the part of the victim. There are photos of our text exchange uploaded. You can decide for yourself if he is as much of a victim as he claims. The last I checked, it was neither rude or uncommon to compare pricing of services and goods between nearby competitors. Avi and his shop show their true colors when receiving negative reviews. Instead of learning and improving customer service, he continues to call people "rude," "disrespectful," and other names. I am going to give my business to someone who is consistent and mature in his/their communications. read more

Very good service. Very pleasant and friendly people assisting me. Avi and his team patiently spent time with me as I considered which replacement watch band to select read more

Brought my brand new Citizen watch her to have the band resized. Watch had never been worn and was in the box. They scratched the band and the back of the case. The watch was in perfect condition before I gave it to them to resize the band. When I complained, the owner and his wife denied making the scratches and had a very bad attitude. The owner finally said not to pay them the $25 for resizing the band. No offer to buff out the scratches. Fortunately, this was not an expensive watch. They only take cash which is a bad sign. Was going to have two expensive Swiss watches cleaned and maintained. No way! Stay far away from this place. read more

I had a quick fix battery update for both of my watches and the staff was quick with a fix. watches seem working fine

They did a timely and lovely engraving with our business logo. Put me in touch with their engraver to double check size and placement.

Very friendly and helpful service! I recommend the place. Good communication. Thanks!

Terrible! Don't go there. I just wanted a battery and even though I drove a long way, the person was so nasty and rude I drove away with no battery. I can't recall being treated so awfully by a small business. Do yourself a favor and go to the Watchmaker in Reading and be treated like a person. Stay away read more

Very, very shady company. Came in for a very simple battery change on a new watch. Was hoping they could change on the spot - but was told the watch maker had to inspect...Received text a week later saying old battery had leaked into movement (not true) and would need $175 cleaning. I replied don't bother and I will be in to collect my watch. Was then told I still owed $30 for the new battery (which I hadn't approved). Clearly trying to upcharge for repairs that weren't needed. Please don't give these guys any more business ! read more

Great service! Super fast watch sizing, were able to adjust when the sizing didn't fit the first time. Very kind and helpful!

Highly recommend village watch center!! amazing service, fast and reliable, and great quality fixes. i had a broken watch that I really wanted fixed and came here unsure of the damage on the watch. I was then given clear cut information and even a personal contact. I will definitely come back here next time I need a watch fixed again! read more

This was my third time going to the Village Watch Center, and every time I have left a happy customer. Avi and the team at Village Watch Center are kind, thoughtful, and have great customer service. They have fixed my watch, my son's watch, and have sold me jewelry. I recommend coming here for any of your watch repair or jewelry needs read more
