UPDATE !! I HAD ANOTHER VISIT AND BROUGHT MY GOLD TO SELL as the sign painted on back door states in big letters....we buy gold.... well i guess i was the first to know"57 7 was met with as far as the selection goes its just a place a watch lover would want to never leave ! i could stay a good 3 days and nights straight and never try them all on. every dream watch you could travel in time to visit and see in person is there somewhere. its easy to forget your favorite youll start to develope a love for many brands for their designs of one or more watches in paticular. / ...9.9 for the store itself and its collection! However the guy who runs it day to day is slmeone i cant read very well. i think he beleives he actually is the inventor or idealist who brought the world time keeping devices. Hes somewhat friendly and half the time he is fairly sociable but off and on he makes dry sarcastic remarks as if their is a cool guy club of battery changers listening and laughing at comments hes sure go unnoticed by customers and never breaking character or cracking a smile. so you kinda just ignore it as to just not rock the boat. hes no fun to haggle with either because again hes got an arrogance about him and doesnt really barter. If you dont like his proposal on your item he wont let you counter and simply just say " ive got too many watches." and he will just walk away and go back to what he was doing without another word. as if hes insulted by uour presence . Hes got potential to be a great guy but its just annoying to either bend his way or lose his acceptance of you in his castle of watches....its all good though. men are men and were all weird territorial and cocky sometimes. i just wish i could find someone fun and excited that i could have a interesting conversation with and do some trade or selling with. honestly though go there anfd look thru the cases and cases. its a museum 'and its worth the trip. thanks for reandin" and heres a few pics of watches ive either bought or traded at...
Read moreTimekeepers and Escondido is a truly wonderful establishment that I had the pleasure of visiting recently. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the place.
But what really sets Timekeepers and Escondido apart is the incredible selection of watches and jewelry. Whether you're looking for something classic and timeless or modern and cutting-edge, they have it all. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and they go out of their way to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
But it's not just about the selection and the service. The quality of the watches and jewelry at Timekeepers and Escondido is truly exceptional. You can tell that every piece has been carefully curated and chosen for its craftsmanship and beauty. And the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially given the level of quality you're getting.
Overall, I would highly recommend Timekeepers and Escondido to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, beautiful watch or piece of jewelry. Whether you're looking for a gift for someone special or just want to treat yourself to something truly exceptional, this is the place to go. The combination of great selection, knowledgeable staff, and exceptional quality makes it one of the best shopping experiences I've had in...
Read moreAfter further research, my understanding is that these folks are great at maintaining and servicing watches. However, my experience with their clock repair has not been good. I have an old Gilbert wall clock which has been running well for years. I last had it serviced a few years ago before moving to San Diego. It developed a problem - I think a mainspring issue - and I brought it here. I was quoted a reasonable price and was told it should take 2 weeks to repair. I waited 3 weeks, called and was told parts were ordered and give them another 2 weeks. Then another 2 weeks and put off again. The short story is after more than 2 months I finally picked it up, still not working. I took it to another shop who has indicated it now needs extensive repairs, mostly due to the efforts of these guys. Of course to be fair, its an old clock and with my not being an expert, I have no idea what really went wrong. But I've never had issues like this before. Long story short, I can't recommend this shop for your antique clock services. I now have it at another service place who says they can correct what was done wrong - will cost me a bit extra but the sentimental value makes it...
