David replaced a band for a 1950s Omega watch. It looks great and was very affordable ($45 for the bracelet and labor). He also accommodated a tight turnaround as I was hoping to have the band replaced for an out of town wedding three days later.

Best watch repair service Ive ever received in the city. Watch was handled with care, cost was better than any competitor, and kindness of staff couldnt be beat. I highly recommend this shop!

One of the best watch repair experiences Ive ever had. Was able to repair watches that I bought last year to watches that have been in my family for decades. He was clear about pricing (and more than fair), gave great suggestions, was quick to communicate, and had quick turnaround on work. As long as Im in NYC, this the watch guy Ill go to.

I have been doing business with David for around 20 years. He is a gentleman. He knows what he is doing. If he cant do the job he will be honest and tell you. If he can do the job. He does it. He does it well. I used to live in West Village so his shop was convenient. I now dwell in Brooklyn but his quaint shop and excellent service is still worth the journey.

Ive been to this store a few times over the years. I went here on Friday, September 18th to have my watch band fixed. While here, I dropped off my worn boots to be repaired and I bought a pair of boots for a great price. David took care of me as usual.

Great service and value. Took my husbands watch to get a new battery and fix the leather on the band. The watch was fixed within an hour and for a very reasonable price. I appreciated their kind and quick service. I will certainly be a return customer

David has been in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. Hes always prompt with repairs and will walk you through options if he thinks a repair may change the look of what youre bringing to his shop. Ive had shoes and watches mended here as an adult, and probably some stuffed animals back in the day. I cant recommend this place highly enough!

I went in today to have two watches repaired during my lunch break, David was so pleasant to deal with, Im excited to return for other repairs. I plan to spread the word, this is the best place to go, good service and value. He told me he put a battery in my watch that would last two years longer that any of the other ones. I was impressed by his honesty and commitment to doing the right thing. For a small owner in a high rent district this goes a long way.

David is an icon in the west village. He is very experienced in shoes and watches repair. He has some nice watches for sale. I bought three from him. Dont forget that he closed on Saturdays for religious observation. Does not take credit cards. Takes cash and checks(so old school)😃

I gave my bulova watch for repair, without asking for repair price. He returned watch next day, only took $25 for battery change. Very good service

I had a lovely experiences getting the heel of my boot fixed at Davids Shoe and Watch Repair. David and his counterparts Ilya and Sasha are beyond lovely and clearly experts in their craft. My heel had been worn down to the pavement and my favorite boots were in dire need of some TLC. They repaired the heel, closed a hole I had in the shaft stitching, and gave me a good shine. They are courteous, timely, and well worth the visit!

Old school shop, reliable & quick service. Heartwarming to see a shop like this holding it down in the otherwise extremely gentrified village.

Been going to this guy my whole life. He used to fix my teddy bears for free when I was a kid. He fixes everything, shoes, jackets, little knickknacks, whatever youve got. Great guy. If you dont like a price, you can always barter him down a bit. Usually pretty fair though. Would definitely recommend!

Been going to David for shoe repair, for jewelry repair, for advice on stained leather for decades. When a rumor spread that he was retiring there was pandemonium in the West Village as so many of us rely on him. Fortunately, he remains in business and he does business the old fashioned way: one-to-one service with warmth and the expectation that the customer will be satisfied and will return. I have yet to bring him a problem he has not solved.

My boyfriends vintage automatic watch was in a million pieces. Wed taken it to three watch repair places prior to seeing David. Each person turned us down, saying it was impossible to fix so when I popped into Davids shop, my hopes werent high. However, immediately after taking a look at the box of parts I presented him, he confidently said, no problem, give me a week.When I picked up the watch less than a week later, it was in beautiful working condition. The joy on Davids face when I ecstatically saw it ticking showed that he truly appreciated what hed done for my boyfriend. I also learned that hed taken the watch home to work on it. Hes not only great at what he does, but he does it with care.

Came here to get a battery changed on Seiko watch. In and out in 5 min. Also, hes a very nice guy who talked me out of servicing a much more expensive watch as an unnecessary expense. Ill be back!

Continuous time piece service throughout the years. My go to guy when I need buttons re-sewn or metal snaps replaced on my leather outer wear. If you need patches sewn, forget about the local tailor/dry cleaner.

This is my go-to shop to buy a replacement watch band, get a new battery or anything else. David is great, very friendly, very fair prices and the shop while not the most aesthetically pleasing place, it has a nice old Village feel to it.
