Tom is the man! He really is knowledgeable and is extremely skilled in his craft. Thank you for fixing my dial flawlessly and he was gracious enough to clean my band as well. If I can give someone 10 stars, it would be Watch Doc! Thank you and see you again!!! read more

Brilliant place. Yoshie (sp?) is one of the most genuinely warm and kindest people I've ever met in LA and 100% the reason for this review. They did a brilliant cleaning of my Omega Seamaster; as an avid Bond fan it's been my go to timepiece and it's so wonderful having it look spotless! read more

I was told by another watch repair place that my Mickey Mouse reproduction watch was unserviceable due to parts no longer being available. I was just about to write the watch off for good but decided to get a second opinion. Based on excellent customer reviews on Yelp I went to Watch Doc in Burbank and to my surprise they were able to fix my watch in just 15 minutes while I waited! Watch Doc made me a very happy customer! They fixed a watch that was supposed to be unfixable. Thanks, Watch Doc, for making my day! Highest recommendation!! read more

Watch Doc - Watch Doc repaired my favorite watch, one that another watch place said was "unfixable". - Watches Near Me - Burbank, California

Nice guy. Fair pricing for battery replacement. My go to Guide now for all watch repairs and battery replacements.

My husband took his Rolex watch in. The catch had come off of the watch bracelet, preventing it from securely locking on his arm. Watch Doc was able to quickly get it fixed while he waited. He was very pleased with the results and highly recommends the business. read more

The gentleman that I think owns the shop and works here is fantastic. He offers great options for watch bracelets/straps, and reasonable prices for battery replacement and other services. There is also an awesome collection of vintage pieces here: Omega, Rolex, etc. read more

I went to Watch Doc while in Burbank, I went in to the shop because the glass on my Rolex was broken and I took it in to Tom and he told me that a small piece was stuck between the dial and the hands and it damaged the watch. He took great care of my watch, the place was very inviting and they do have an amazing selection of straps to choose from so when I went back to pick up my watch I dropped off another watch for a strap replacement and a battery as well. read more

My watch stopped working and was a little bigger than I wanted as my wrists are pretty slender. I looked around on yelp (!) for nearby places and Watch Doc looked positive, efficient, and close by. I walked in and was approached by the owner, who was really helpful and got it fixed for me in about 5 minutes. If we have any other watch or jewelry fixes, we will come out again soon :) read more

Tom is amazing! I unwittingly called him after business hours, but he still called me back shortly after--which really shows his dedication to his craft. I brought my Daytona watch to him to diagnose an issue with the seconds hand stopping intermittently. He quickly hypothesized what the issue could be. And rather than trying to take my money on an expensive service, Tom recommended a less invasive approach to see if the watch could fix itself first. That's the type of honesty and forthrightness you get when you bring a watch to Tom. I highly recommend him and will be bringing all of my other watches to him in the future. read more

I messaged Watch Doc when I was looking for local watch repair businesses to replace the batteries on my Casio G-Shocks. Thomas messaged me back with price quotes within a few hours so I appreciated that... I had also reached out to a good friend of mine who loves his watches if he knew a place and he said, "Why don't you see my friend Tom at Watch Doc? He's right by your work!" Suffice it to say, it was meant to be. None of these watches had yet needed a battery replacement so I did not know where to go and what to expect. I trusted my good friend Helm's recommendation and with Tom messaging me back promptly, I had an idea how much it would all cost. It also gave me peace of mind for sure... I took my 4 G-Shocks that all need battery replacements a few days later. I dropped them off on the morning and my watches were ready after lunch. Great turnaround time. Tom was also really thorough with my watches when he noticed that moisture may have gotten in the corner of one of the G-Shock's internal gasket. He cleaned it up and took care of it. I'm glad I found an excellent watch repair business thanks to a good friend who has entrusted his timepieces to him over the years and a simple Yelp search. Grateful for that. The reviews speak for themselves. And I'm here to verify that.... Go to Watch Doc. Tom will take care of your timepiece... Appreciate you, Tom. Thanks for the assist, Helm. Dedicated parking spaces out back or street parking along Riverside Dr or on Evergreen,if you get lucky.

Great experience, got my clock back up and running in no time. Very affordable. Thanks Tom

I had to swallow my pride and get help adjusting a watch I got as a Christmas present so I wouldn't make it worse The folks here not only corrected my mistakes but perfectly sized it for me in under 10 minutes for twenty bucks. I'm completely satisfied and I recommend you drop by Watch Doc if you need something done. I used a side street to park since it's in more of a downtown-style area. read more

Great watch shop! Repaired husband's watch. Very knowledgeable about watches! Fast service!

The Watch Doc will exceed your expectations. Will definitely refer this shop as my go to for any watch concerns.

Thank you so much for adding my extra link to my Rolex watch . Have to bring all my watch to have all the battery replaced. See you again soon . read more

Wonderful place in Toluca Lake/Burbank Area for all things watches and watch battery repair. The owners are delightful, professional, and kind. This is located in a nice area next to Priscilla's shop which is another local favorite and their store is well kept. Thanks Tom for everything! read more

All I can say about Tom and Watch Doc is: WOW. What a stellar business. Watch Doc has earned a lifetime customer in me. I have worked with Tom on multiple pieces and every single experience has been outstanding. He is extremely responsive to questions, a true wealth of knowledge, and his craftsmanship is unparalleled. I gladly drive two hours round trip to Burbank because I know the work is worth every second. Honestly, I am already looking forward to my next watch purchase, not just for the watch itself but for the chance to stop by, chat with Tom, and experience that same level of service again. Thank you for everything Watch Doc. read more

No rookie here, Tom is a wizard, this guy is the real deal! I have went other places and they could not fix my watch or just didn't have a solution. I have been to this place multiple times before writing this review and each time I was able to get great work done in a timely fashion. Tom will treat you with respect. He is a true craftsman and gem to Burbank. As a Black dude, I highly recommend this business for your watch repair! read more

Watch Doc - Storefront - Watches Near Me - Burbank, California

I had a great experience with having my rolex serviced by Tom. Yes it was pricey, but he explains the details of the parts and labor and what happened to my rolex. After I picked my watched he even explained to me that I need to use the watch instead of just leaving it innthe winder. read more

Watch Doc sized the bracelet on a new watch and did so perfectly for a reasonable price. Watch Doc is very knowledgeable and a great guy with great selection of vintage watches. His staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. I will be back! read more

Support local businesses! The owner is kind and knowledgeable. I was able to get 3 watches fixed in about 20 minutes. It was $45 for two new batteries. And he was kind enough to help me switch the band on a third watch. The fourth I had to leave there for further inspection. But I'm so happy to have someone nearby I can depend on! read more

This is absolutely the best shop for watch repair and and a great collection of vintage watches. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and honest. He will let you know if the repairs are worth the effort and the price before he starts to work on the watch. The prices are fair and I highly recommend this shop. read more

5 star customer service. The close at 3 so make sure you arrive before 3. Pretty easy parking in rear.

Stopped by to get my watch resized and had a great experience. Super quick service -- I was in and out before I knew it. They were also really helpful in making sure the fit was just right. Easy, fast, and super friendly. Would definitely come back! read more

This review should be read by anyone considering having Tom service their Rolex. I admit I was a bit nervous to bring in my 1993 Rolex Day Date to just anyone but saw another review mentioning their Rolex and figured hey... based on everything else I'm reading, I'm sure this place can handle the simple task of changing the day wheel to a dif language seeing as the watch was serviced when I bought it (or so I thought). I brought it in and got the vibe that Tom is a capable watch maker, well beyond your typical battery change/end links/small fix type place the city is filled with. He should advertise high end watch service, for sure. I left my day date with him and he had it finished in a couple days. When I came to pick it up, which was very soon after, I was disappointed to see my Rolex now malfunctioning when I quickly changed the time hands to see if the day/date still changed at midnight. On my second round of spinning, the crown started to make an ugly gut wrenching click and grind. I should mention, I was NOT being gentle with the crown. I showed this to Tom and he was quick to say to please leave it, this watch was likely not serviced when you got it, and to trust him that he will service it properly and that he should've checked the movement before just swapping the wheel. He explained the pricing of this service. The price was high enough that I thought for sure he knew what he was doing. Now I should say I own my own service business servicing high end musical instruments, most well beyond the price range of your typical Rolex. I know from my own experience about peoples budgets and how often times just doing a small job on something will bite you in the butt later if you don't insist on a full service (which we require in my business). That said, I understood that it was likely he was correct in that it just needed a real service, and I didn't stoop to the low level of saying "it didn't do this before I brought it to you to change the day wheel" which is about the dumbest thing anyone can say to me and presumably to Tom, too. I left my Day date for the next round of service. Tom seemed to feel bad that this happened and got to it right away. The next day he texted me to show me what parts had broken as the watch was dried out as it hadn't been serviced as advertised by the people who sold it to me just a month prior. Truthfully, when I got the DD, I did think the winding felt a little stiff but assumed it was because it was an older model than I already owned, a 2013 Submariner. He also called me, knowing I am curious, and explained to me where he gets his parts, how they are authentic, why he only uses authentic parts, and why this malfunction happened. He had it done just the next morning, fully serviced. He returned my old broken parts as well as my original day wheel and, even though I didn't ask, still felt the need to give me a price break. He didn't speak ill of the seller of my watch and said it was actually a great example of the watch but certainly was NOT serviced. I removed the crown, checked the day date alignment, and wound the watch.. it feels just like my submariner now :). Overall, I'll absolutely be back. I have noticed most local Rolex dealers are no longer offering service and I am further convinced most gray dealers are flipping fast and maybe changing gaskets, but not a full service or even a lubrication (which is all I needed for this have been avoided). If you're in the valley or anywhere and are looking for an honest watch maker who knows Rolex watches without the crazy wait time or crazy prices, you found one. Tom mentioned he especially likes vintage rolex watches, so if you have one of those, you're all set. THANK YOU Tom for your good business ethic and great workmanship!!! read more

This place is a literal gem for people who are looking to have their watches serviced. Tom is probably the most efficient and kindest person who will take care of anything that's ticking! He even welcomed me back when I underestimated my Tudor's fit and made it right. Highly recommended and wouldn't go anywhere else but here. read more

Always such a pleasure to come to this fantastic shop! Owner Tom is so kind, patient and knowledgeable. Even for something small like a battery replacement or just punching an extra hole in your watchband - Tom handles your watch with the utmost care as if it's the most important timepiece in the world. Highly recommend! read more

Watch Doc - Watches Near Me - Burbank, California

This place is the best. Family owned watch business right across from a great coffee shop. If you need anything watch related, whether you just need yours fixed, or are in the market for a new one, you should definitely stop by here. The service is always extremely fast and the owner makes sure to charge a fair price. There's no hidden fees or any extra stuff being done without him discussing it with his clients first. I personally have brought a few of my watches here when they needed a battery change or just stopped working and I got it fixed within minutes. read more

Excellent service. Very responsive. Went in for a repair and it was done the same day! Side note: the shop also sells some unique watches, so definitely worth a visit. read more

Had an experience so good that I had to write a review for it! I have an old digital watch that was eating battery-after-battery. No other shop in LA would touch digital watches except to change the battery. I called Thomas and he agreed to at least take a look. To my surprise, it was across the street from Priscilla's -- a coffeeshop I visit frequently. Priscilla's doesn't have a parking lot, but Watch Doc does! I drop off the watch and head for some coffee, but Thomas tells me to take a seat. Within seconds, he's got my watch open and he tells me all the things that are wrong with it. Apparently, the last owner did a bad job of maintaining this watch and there were 3 missing parts that I was unaware of. Thomas got my watch fully working again in 20 minutes! To think I was only there for a new battery! A top-notch professional! Don't hesitate to have him look at your watch! read more

I had a battery replaced for a nice watch and charged me $55. It's a bit much in my opinion. Others charge $15-20. I wouldn't go again.

Tom was great! Came in for a crystal that needed to be replaced. It was completed on the same day and looked perfect. He also removed some old glue on the dial so arguably it was better than when it was brought in. Prices were also very fair. Thank you Tom. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else for sizing or service. The owner is a master at his craft and a pleasure to deal with. Friendly and informative, prices are already incredibly fair for the quality of work, but even if I could find it cheaper, I'd still go to WatchDoc. If you need your timepiece serviced, sized or anything else: do yourself a favor and go here first. All the other 5 star reviews are no accident. Tom is the best! read more

Lovely store ; came in to get some links removed - kind people nice service and done right on the spot. Thanks!

This watch shop is awesome!! My battery was failing on my Casio G-Shock Mudmaster and the Watch Doc quickly replaced it. Fast and friendly service, affordable prices and excellent customer care! I'll be back for all my watch needs for sure!! read more

Watch Doc - Watches Near Me - Burbank, California

Came in to get a battery replacement on my favorite Movado watch. It was strange that it stopped working when I replaced the battery only 8 months ago, which I had taken to a Movado store at the mall. The Watch Doc owner was super responsive and friendly and pointed out that the previous shop placed an incorrect battery which is most likely why it stopped working. (Again disappointing considering the Movado store should have placed the correct battery of their product and they had charged me more than double to a battery replacement). Watch Doc gave the flat rate of $25 and service was fast So I will be coming back to the Watch Doc for my watch needs :) read more
