It's crazy for me to type this because it feels like not that much time has passed but I've been…read morecoming to Jalal for years now for a variety of watches and even jewelry. He was right next to Apni Mandi market and is currently still in the same plaza. For fast repairs and battery changes I used to drop stuff off and then head into Apni Mandi for Amul butter and the fire roasted peanuts they sell in a bag. My first trip I brought him my wifes quartz watch that was no longer running and a mechanical chronograph that had part of the dial applique loose and was rattling around the inside of the dial. He prioritized my watch because I told him it was a gift from my wife from 2013 and my first "real" eatch. He charged an incredibly affordable price for having to basically take apart the whole chrono to get at the dial. My wife's quartz watch had a leaked battery that had damaged the whole movement so he replaced it also for an affordable price. He helped remove a link on a silver bracelet and solder the links back together very cleanly so he does jewelery repair as well. I started buying vintage mechanical watches and Jalal helped diagnose and perform a full overhaul on my Bulova "Devil Diver" and helped me restore and clean a nice 14K gold LeCoultre watch from the 50s. He won't do quotes over the phone so be prepared to come in person. He also appreciates phone calls over text so don't text unless you have to! It is chaotic and messy inside the shop but Jalal is such a charming pillar of the community I don't mind. Every time I come people are here just to hang out!

When I took it to AJR to switch watch bands with another watch, they fixed it! I guess the battery wasn't seated properly. And, changing the watch bands was a big deal, and yet, they somehow did it! Right now, the building where they had been located is fenced off and under renovation or something so THEY ARE NOT LOCATED THERE NOW. And, I don't know where they went. But I hope they come back!

My 3-month-old Mido Big Date, purchased from Jomashop, suddenly stopped working. Every time I wound…read morethe crown, the balance wheel would spin like a helicopter blade. Unfortunately, Jomashop's so-called 2-year warranty was a complete joke--way too many exclusions to be useful. Based on this experience, I would never buy a watch from Jomashop again. I took the watch to a large jeweler/watch store in Walnut Creek and was quoted $600, which felt like a total ripoff. Thankfully, I found Richard through Yelp--and what a blessing that turned out to be. He is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly knows his craft. He took the watch apart and walked me through each component, even showing me the exact part that was broken. That level of transparency really gave me confidence. It took about a week to get my watch back since he had to order the part, but the pricing was very reasonable, and I honestly feel like I got a great deal. On top of that, he even removed a link from my other watch for free. I can confidently say I've found my watchmaker. Highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and fair watch repair.

This place makes dreams come true! That's it…read more I was a completely clueless guy, overwhelmed with where to even start when shopping for an engagement ring. Through a friend's recommendation (already a good sign), I went to see Richard, and he helped guide me through what to actually look for. Over the course of 2-3 months, I visited him multiple times, asking for advice, having him look at diamonds I was eyeing, sending inspiration photos, and trying to figure out that what I wanted was basically a Frankenstein combination of multiple ring styles. Still, he entertained every idea I had. He told me more than once, "I don't want to take your money if you don't want what I'm giving you." That alone says a lot about how he runs his business. After all the planning, brainstorming, and back and forth, Richard and his team pulled it off. He helped me give my fiancée the ring of her dreams, something unique and special enough to match who she is. So thank you, Richard, for helping make that happen, and thank you, Shelly, for always entertaining me and making me feel like family during what was honestly a pretty stressful process. You've made the whole experience feel exciting and personal instead of overwhelming. Oh, and to tie it all together, I did introduce my fiancée to Richard and Shelly. That's how big a part they played in the story of our engagement.
