Darbini Watch Repair

Darbini Watch Repair is the watch service side of Darbini Jewelry, at Suite 179, The Paseo, 300 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. It says it has a Rolex repair and service facility on site with a full-time watch technician, who is not named, and lists overhauls, restoration, polishing and refinishing, and pressure testing. It says it is an independent company not affiliated with any watch manufacturer, although its website shows many brand logos. It quotes 3 to 4 weeks on average. Its website gives the repair warranty as one year in one place and five years in another, so confirm the terms in writing before you leave your watch.

Also works on: Rolex (its website publishes Rolex service prices by model). It does not claim manufacturer authorization.

How to bring your watch: Walk in at The Paseo, or request a free insured shipping label through its website for mail-in service.
