Went in today to repair a watch and they told me is was working fine - just showed me what to do! I so appreciate the honesty! Plus, SUPER friendly. i found this by doing a google search and went in because of the great ratings and review.. and they lived up to them without a doubt. And, they had an amazing selection of old vintage watches of every make and brand you could imagine. 5 plus starts from me!!!
Absolutely fabulous experience. I purchased a watch made in 1971 for my 50th birthday. As clean as it looked in the photos, the watch is even better in person. I pushed the order button on Sunday, they shipped from CA on Monday and I received in NY early morning on Tuesday. Highly recommend. Ill be buying again!
Bought my favorite watch here. Anything you buy comes fully serviced and guaranteed. Have brought it in to fix small issues here and there and it is always in tip top shape. I bought another watch second hand from another less than savory dealer second hand and the team at Second Time Around fully serviced it and made it like new again. The staff is super friendly, knowledgable, and most importantly honorable.
I cant say enough positive things about Second Time Around! Weve bought a couple of watches from them and been incredibly happy with quality and service. When I was in an accident and my watch was badly damaged, I sent it to them for repairs. When UPS lost the watch, they proactively managed reaching out to UPS and then sent me a new watch, perfectly done. Flawlessly professional and super kind communications made the process a pleasure. I wish I could give them a 10 star review!
Ordered a vintage watch through the online store and was extremely impressed with both the watch and the service. The watch was exactly as pictured on the website with no hidden wear or blemishes. Ordered the watch late in the afternoon and received it cross country the next day. The package also included a handwritten thank you note from the store which I felt was a very nice touch.
Id been foolishly going to Tourneau and paying $25 to have my battery changed. Shame on me. I found this little hole-in-the-wall on Google, and figured that the 4 stars (except for one cheapo who complained about the price!) meant that J was worth trying.YES. This is the place for all things watches. Fast, efficient, inexpensive, and a charming young woman at the desk. Go, and go nowhere else.(P.S.: discount for military personnel. I LOVE this place.)
I came by to get my watch condition assessed. They were courteous, knowledgable, and kindly didnt charge me anything for the assessment. I will definitely come back.
What a great find. Blocks from the house. A real watch repair place with REAL knowledgeable watch people...The wife is getting her watch fixed correctly. Happy wife...you can not put a price on that....Thank You Second Time Around. Also a great Polo reversible in the display case..
👍 .just a quick battery replacement for my watch .. .. & love some of the old classic watches in the display cases.
These guys are trustworthy and the real deal. I would trust them with any timepiece of value. They ship, repair, maintain, and communicate the way professionals are expected to do. Fantastic shop with even better staff. Thanks for the fantastic service and return of my timepieces.
Ive been putting off replacing my watch battery for weeks. I was in the Hillcrest area for a workout and found this place on G+. The original plan was to drop off my watch and return after my workout to pick it up. My plans changed because it only took 30 seconds to change the battery. Awesome quick and friendly service. Total cost: $10.75!
My husband’s vintage Omega watch was damaged after being dropped by our 3 year. I took it to a neighborhood jewelry store and it was unfortunately further damaged. I then mailed it back to the Northern California watch dealer he originally purchased it from and after about 6 months was told “the watch was irreparable and should be sold for parts.” Second Time Around Watch was my last hope. Not only did they fix it, they cleaned it up, serviced it and warrantied the repair. Jon and his staff were professional, super knowledgeable, and nice to work with. Yesterday, I surprised my husband with his fully functioning Omega for the Holidays and he was thrilled!
Very decent and professional people who will advise you on restoration of watches you cherish or sell you beautiful wristwatches at pretty fair prices. I’ve gone in there w a watch expecting to have to pay a bunch and the nice man (whose name eludes me) cleaned her up and taught me things, wouldn’t accept any payment!?! THAT made me a repeat customer.
Have purchased several watches over the years from this business. Every item has been as promised and warranted. Great folks to deal with and highly recommend.
Great vintage selection, really knowledgeable staff, fair prices. The watch I picked up for a friend included a warranty - Ill be back!
They serviced my vintage Heuer and did a great job. Every time Im in the store, I end up spending an hour trying on and talking watches with the guys who work there. Totally honest and trustworthy.
Purchased a Panerai 8 Day including a trade-in. Dealing with PJ was a pleasure, received a fair price for the trade-in and a great price on the Panerai, the condition of which was as described. Will do business again and highly recommend Bernard Watch Co. for any fine timepiece transaction. They do not disappoint.
The nicest people in the world and fantastic, very knowledgeable, reasonably priced, honest. Had my old watch up and running and looking like new in an hour after I just walked in with no appointment. This is the place!!!
Cozy shop with staff who are incredibly friendly, and watchmakers that do fantastic work at reasonable rates with quick turnarounds. Jon, the owner, is one of the nicest guys youll ever meet in the watch trade.
Huge inventory, fair prices for vintage Rolex.
Very good service personalized attention
Cool people. Great items. Love it
