I am an East coast customer servicing his watches all the way in the west coast. Kenny and the JOT team make it super easy, quick turnaround times, and most importantly, honestly and trust. They have now serviced 4 different Rolex models for me. Models dating anywhere from 60s, 90, and 2000s. Thank you guys,

Had a great experience with Kenny & Victor, both were really friendly and I could tell they were very knowledgable. Even though I came in late with a friend that recommended the place, they stayed open and still got me a pretty good deal on the watch I purchased.

Found My Forever Jewelers! Twins Jeremy & Kenny are absolute gents! I may be biased bc I'm a twin too hehe Went to get my Fendi watch adjusted & battery fixed. They helped me right away no wait! Took less than 5 mins for them to adjust my watch band to fit me & change the battery. The shop is really unique- they have a visible watch laboratory where you can watch the watch scientist customize your pieces. Warning: You may not want to leave right away bc there's too many gorgeous pieces to eyeball in there & the brothers are super fun/friendly- fun chatting w em! Already planning my next visit to bring my twin in to get some of her pieces repaired :) Thanx Twins :)

I always enjoy my visits to Jewelers on Time. Kenny and Victor are awesome. They are both knowledgeable about everything you ever wanted to know about watches. If you are looking to purchase a high end designer watch (or want to sell your high end designer watch), then I would highly suggest a visit to Jewelers on Time. I recently had (8) watch batteries installed in my watches and I was in and out within 30 minutes. Prices are reasonable as compared to other jewelers in/around the area.

Super nice and fast. They resized my little sterling silver ring for a very fair price! Also, the center it's located in is my favorite. If I was in the market for a Rolex, etc I would definitely do business with them. Will for sure be back for other jewelry needs.

The shop owners Victor and Kenny are incredible. They really take care of you and are willing to help you out in any way they can. I highly recommend them. Their building is super nice and they have a Rolex certified watchmaker on site. These guys are pros and the only people I would buy my watches from.

I had a fantastic experience buying a Rolex Explorer 2 online with Jewlers on time. Kenny was my contact. Fast, professional and very fair on price. I got my watch the day after and it is perfect. Thank you!

These guys are so good I actually took a plane to go see them and have them service my watch. Best service and even better results. In my mind they did the impossible. you can not go wrong with them.

Kenny Nguyen is the best watch dealer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He recently helped me purchase my first Patek and not only recommended a beautiful strap type for the watch, but he also sold me a Patek buckle to match the watch. I would recommend Jewelers on Time to all of my watch collecting friends.

Great experience at Jewelers On Time thanks to Victor and Kenny. I needed a Rolex SkyDweller polished and repaired. When I brought it to their store, it was poorly damaged from a sub-par aftermarket bezel. I saw Michael Jordan wearing one on TV, with the watch glistening in from-factory condition. I then became upset with having a beat up watch that didn't look nearly as good as MJ's and didn't even want to wear it.

There were scratches all over my watch, and the ring-lock-command feature of my watch did not work at all. Jewelers On Time was able to completely restore the watch to the condition it was when it left the factory, including fixing the rotating bezel feature that is essential to the watch. This is very impressive because Rolex themselves do not sell parts for the SkyDweller, or have any guidelines on how to work on them.

This means that the watchmakers at Jewelers On Time are experienced and advanced professionals. In addition to excellent service, I noticed their inventory is refreshing and unique. Not just run-of-the mill stainless and precious metal pieces--they have a great selection that includes sought-after vintage watches as well. Highly recommend!

There are not enough stars to rate my experience with Kenny and Victor. Customer service is beyond belief, it's like being friends and professional at the same time! Very knowledgeable and helpful with all of my questions and sales. Highly recommended them.

What a pleasure to work with! I was referred to Ken at Jewelers on Time by a Friend at a Factory Rolex store, for my Rolex Daytona Service. Not only did they perform a flawless job and made the watch look new, but they were in touch, and kept the price extremely competitive. Less than the Factory Rolex Service (which by the way in the past I had to send the watch in twice) as it did not work when it came back.

Recently I had a small issue with my Daytona, I texted Ken N. during COVID19, he had me drop off the watch and get it back within a few days, when I asked him the charge, he said we stand by our work, even though it had been close to a year. This is Customer Service and Professionalism at its finest!

I have purchased a watch from Kenny. Pros: The watch is genuine. The store is in a nice, safe place and is a beautiful store. I had an issue with my purchase and they have offered to repair under warranty. Cons: The watch I've purchased was advertised as "just serviced". However, the watch wasn't keeping time as should and had another minor issue. They have offered to repair, but I am in another country and so this is not really an option for me.

I've been coming to Jeweler's On Time for many, many yrs. Alberto does excellent work! He's honest and trustworthy. I have taken my Rolex, my husband's Rolex, my mother in law and husband's uncle Presidential Rolexes. All of our watches always looks amazing after we get them serviced. I can't imagine taking our watch elsewhere. We've been going to Jeweler's On Time when they were in Orange way back in 1999-2000.

I really don't mind going to Newport Beach knowing that I never have to worry about leaving our watches with Alberto and his team. My husband still has his dad's vintage Rolex stainless Turn O'Graph 1625 with 14k white gold bezel that his dad bought in 1961. The beauty of it is that our children will continue the tradition having Jeweler's On Time service their Rolexes! Thank you for your exceptional craftsmanship.

I had a watch from the 90s overhauled here recently. It looks brand new! Everyone is very friendly, parking is easy, and the quality of work is fantastic. I will definitely be returning!

I just completed a purchase of a used Rolex Sea Dweller (16600) with Kenny. Kenny's price was fair (not the highest, not the lowest) but the watch had just been serviced and looked glorious. I was buying this for my dad. Kenny sells far more expensive watches then this but he treated me like an A list client. Kenny spent a good deal of time showing me the watch, giving me the history, and working through some logistical issues as my dad is out of state.

They also respond to emails within an hour--even after the store is closed. It is clear they take good care of their customers and I will happily buy my next watch from them. Thanks!

Seriously had an amazing transaction with them through eBay. The Rolex thunderbird came exactly as described with papers and was a great value for their pricing. I completely screwed up the original transaction by giving them my old shipping address by accident. I reached out before they shipped and they refunded the transaction immediately to allow me to correct the address (necessary for PayPal payment).

And then I even had to wait a couple days for the account to settle to send the transaction again, they were very patient and responded typically within an hour. Overall I'm very happy with the transaction and can't attest to the legitimacy of their watches and business practice enough.

The Nguyen twins are my go-to guys for anything timepiece related. Recently had my Panerai serviced and polished. JOT staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and fast. Walked in, quoted a fair price and given a lead time. They finished in half the time! These guys will continue to go above and beyond on expectations - def worth a visit.

Kenny provides excellent customer service! A client gifted a Rolex Submariner watch to me late last year. I wear it almost daily and it began to lose time and stop for no apparent reason. Tried a few suggestions and none of them worked, so I figured I would call the shop that my client bought the watch from, Jewelers on Time. Kenny answered my call, listened to my situation, and offered to ship it in (I live in TX) free of charge.

They carry a 2 year warranty on the watch so he said they would check it out and get back to me. Took them a total of 5 days to diagnose, repair, and ship the watch back to me at no cost. Kenny was great with follow up and I'm very happy with the service I received. I will definitely use them for future service and purchases. Thanks Kenny!

When in Newport and looking for a great watch selection, make sure you stop by Jewelers on time. I have been dealing with Kenny and Victor since 2012 and they are great. They are my go to guys for watches. Always a great selection and easy to work with. Keep up the great work guys.

Today I purchased a beautiful Rolex submariner 2 tone with the Blue dial. I cannot say enough great things about the customer service at this place. kenny is a great guy and was very responsive when I told him what I was looking for over the phone. He has a nice inventory of hard to find watches and his prices are very competitive. Thanks Kenny!

I came across Kenny Nguyen via TRF and I am really glad I did. After months browsing for an anniversary present for my wife, Kenny had a watch she like in stock. Few emails/texts back and forth, then a phone, and finally agreed on a price. Payment was sent via paypal and delivery was scheduled. Kenny shipped next day via USPS -- including Saturday delivery.

Once I received the box, I checked all was ok before wrapping it and giving it to my wife. Needless to say, she loved her new piece; all is good with the world. Thank you very much for your patience and outstanding service. Making a large purchase is never easy, especially when not face to face. However, Kenny was wonderful to do business with. I recommend him and his store and look forward to doing more biz in the future.

I went in and liked how sorted out and new their shop seemed so I decided to try them out to repair a Panerai 118. I dropped it off and had them service and polish the watch. I picked up two weeks later and had to return because it was stopping every few minutes and not keeping time. They took it back to fix again and called me a week later to pick up.

Upon receipt I noticed the inside of the crystal is horribly scratched. They offered to repair at their cost but would not guarantee authentic Panerai crystal would be used. Thanks to them I have to go to Panerai for them to replace. They ruined a crystal of a nice watch and cost me hundreds of dollars to get serviced. They suck. Find a better place to get your watch repaired.

They replied that they "fixed" the issue. As you can see they didn't do anything and if a mechanic damaged your engine would you take back for them to "fix"? They would likely damage it even worse.

I've known watch dealers, Kenny and Victor for over 25 years and Alberto Frosio, the owner for over 15 years. I wouldn't make any purchases with out consulting with them first. I only trust their certified Rolex watch makers with maintaining all my time pieces. They have the best prices and they stand by all their watches with a lifetime warranty! Thanks for always hooking me up with the best selections!
