Alfredo is the best. Extremely polite and conscientious. Initially skeptical given the location in a mall kiosk, but was pleasantly surprised, so dont let that dissuade you. Ill definitely be back.
First experience I took my creux automatiq diamond back watch to these folks to get resized and overall it was a great experience. The guy working there complimented me on my watch saying how nice it was. Process was smooth and charged me $20 to resize. I came back 1 month later after purchasing a Rolex Submariner and was up charged to $50 for a link removal. I was shocked at how much of a jump in price it was. What lead me to write this review is how he had a nasty nonchalant attitude about it after I asked him the reason for the price increase. Safe to say I won’t be giving these folks any more of my business. My wife’s date just 31 mm comes in and I had planned on coming here for a resize. Not anymore. I felt he was just up charging because it was a Rolex which is sad and desperate.
The older gentleman was so nice. He could see I was having a rough day, and the dead battery in my watch wasnt making it any better. He changed the battery so fast, and told me not to get so upset about small things...life is to short. I knew that he was speaking the truth, I thanked him for being so swift in changing the battery and for the encouraging words.
Desi is unbelievably talented and patient. He has a true passion for fine jewelry repair and reconditioning. He took my fiances 9.5 sized ring and turned it into a 6.5. Not only that, he told us about loose and misaligned diamonds and included a cleaning, tightening, and realignment. His price was more than reasonable and he is a super nice guy. His assistant Alfredo was also very nice. My baby girls ring looked better than when I bought it for her and it fit perfect. We will not go to anyone else.
I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my Rolex at 1 Hour Jewelry and Watch Repair. The watch technician was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I typically use a watch service Downtown but being at the Mall was so much easier to get to and park. It was a truly great experience dealing with 1 Hour.
The service reps were helpful and very gorgeous.. they went above n beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the work. I highly recommend using their services. My name is Terrance Alexander
Heard good things about them, so I went by to have a pin replaced in my Omega watch. Desi was very friendly and knowledgeable about my watch. He repaired it on the spot and recommended the service needed for another watch I have. His microscope was hooked up to a TV screen so I could actually see exactly what he was doing. These days outstanding customer service is rare. I highly recommend 1 Hour if you need your watch repaired!
Incredible service! Friendly, Honest, professional, affordable & very personable. Highly recommend. Desy stands behind his work 100%. He will fix it or he wont charge. Absolutely Awesome! They also sell jewelry if you want something new. I will be back for sure!
Very quick and easy experience. Couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Desy was very helpful and professional. Will be a repeat customer!
Desi is the best here fixed my bracelet and he was so nice. It was a pleasure to have someone be so kind. We are from Richmond and was visiting New Orleans and my bracelet kept falling off and just so happened to run into him in oakwood mall best decision ever will definitely go back.
Desi was fantastic! I walked in thinking I had to pay a fair price only to learn it could be a very shiny penny for total repair for my water damaged pocket watch. He kept it real and yet performed a miracle to get it running. Thank you thank you thank. You. Ill continue to keep my fingers crossed it keeps running !
Very nice friendly service. Fast & affordable. I was very pleased. Most definitely will be back.
I walked in with a Whittnauer that no one has been able to repair. He fixed it in less than ten minutes. Perfect, dependable service and I would recommend to anyone who needs help with watch repair. As a bonus they have some nice jewelry as well.
In and out! Desy provided me with swift service and a price that cant be beat. I highly recommend him!
Had never been to this place before, very friendly staff. I needed my watch fitted, there was no wait I was done within 5 min. Great service!
Desy was great to work with. Very knowledgeable about what he does. He fixed a watch for me that was previously said to be “unfixable” by another jeweler. I definitely won’t be going anywhere else.
The repairman Desi was very pleasant. He greeted me with a smile and asked how he could help me. Very prompt and expert service. He cleaned and repaired the watch in minimal time. He even showed me an up close picture on a video feed WHILE he worked on my ring. If I ever need any other jewelry repair, Im going to this guy.
They have always done a great job every time I bring something in. They fixed small parts in a watch face, changed watch batteries, replaced a busted watch crystal, and helped me with a band change for an uncommon sized watch... Every time they are super fast, very professional, give great advice, and are great to work with. I highly recommend giving them your business.
Extremely impressed by their service and attention to detail. I brought my Rolex to have the crown and stem repaired. I was not sure if they could fix the issue. When they called to tell me that my watch was fixed and ready to be picked up, I was ecstatic. The price of the repair was extremely reasonable. Very nice people. This is now my go to place for any watch issues I might have.
This place came highly recommended by another jewelry store as a place that can size my ring while I waited.I was greeted with professionalism and I dropped off the ring at 12 oclock noon and I received the call by one oclock saying it was finished. The job they did was perfect there was no sign that the ring had been altered in any way at the bottom. I will recommend my family and friends to this place With confidence
Desi recently sized one of my rings and replaced a lost diamond in it. The ring looks great! More importantly, Desi helped my bf find my dream ring simply from a photo and it is gorgeous! He sells high end, hard to find pieces. Great customer service!
1 Hour Jewelry and Watch repair is an awesome place in Oakwood mall who fixed my necklace in seconds! Thank you so much!
This has been the most enjoyable experience dealing with a jeweler. Mr. Quintaro is extremely professional and passionate about his work. I could not be more pleased with the outcome he produced on several heirloomed Items I presented him to repair. Top-notch
Very helpful and great customer service. Desy helped repair a loose screw in my automatic Seiko watch and was very generous to not charge for this simple fix. If I have any other needs in the future, I will definitely return. Highly recommended!
I had Desy service my watch after and outrageous quote from another company . He did a phenomenal job, the watch looked brand new and ran perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for better service and for half of the price. After that I have gone back to him multiple times for ring sizing and repairs. He is always friendly and does fantastic work. I would recommend any one to this business, can’t say enough good things about them!
Wonderful customer service! Mr. Desy was able to fix a piece for me in just a couple minutes. I was so overwhelmed, with a loss in my family & he was extremely thoughtful & kind. I recommend this location if anyone ever needs a fix for jewelry or watch. ! Thank You!
Brought my Presidential Day Date for repairs and the workmanship and dedication to perfection was second to none. I have had Rolex watches since the 70’s and have tried many Jewlers and I can say that this is the best. The price was about half of what you will pay anywhere else and the quality of work is the absolute best Thanks Desy
Got a watch battery replaced here in under 30 minutes. Great fair pricing. Many places would not change the battery on my Movado watch but there was no problem here. Would highly recommend and come here again! :)
Need quick repair, it was completed in less than 5 minutes. I will tell anyone in need of repairs how great you are and what you send them your way. Thanks
My wifes platinum and diamond ring has been needing to be cleaned and polished but she has a hard time leaving her ring with anyone. We came across the shop and spoke with Desy. He put her mind at ease and she decided to let him take care of it. Upon inspection he let us know that one of the diamonds was loose in the setting. He took care of that and the cleaning in less than an hour and looks like the day we bought it. Desy is a great guy and had no problem answering all of our questions. We will be bringing all of our jewelry to him.
Excellent customer service and amazing work! Desy and Alfredo were so friendly and knowledgeable! I brought an engagement ring to them to be resized from almost a 9.5 to a 6.5. I had been to other jewelry stores, and was given the run around from their jewelers not wanting to resize the ring from such a large size. Desy was actually referred to me “as one of the best jewelers” and I couldn’t agree more! Not only did he size my ring in mere hours (that other places told me would take weeks) but he checked all my diamonds and cleaned it! It looks beautiful and you would never know that it was sized! I will recommend this business to anyone needing jewelry service or repairs!
Omg! This place is awesome! He brought my 2 carat princess cut engagement ring back to BRAND NEW! I am in love all over again! I forgot how beautiful my ring was until Desy got a hold to it!! I will definitely be back!
Great service and customer service! My jewelry is always cleaned and buffed flawlessly!
Great service and highly recommend! My go to place for jewelry repair and watch battery replacements. I had 2 broken necklaces repaired and you cant even tell it was repaired. The work was seamless.
Quality work for an affordable price! I’ll definitely be back!!
Service was as advertised. Quick and efficient. Technician behind counter was courteous and professional
Very knowledgeable and professional. Helpful and would recommend to everyone in need of watch repair. Thanks again!
Amazing place. The reviews brought me here. Desy takes the time to explain his knowledge to you and really takes care of you like family. I wouldnt bring my jewelry to any other place. To anyone who has something negative to say about this amazing business has less than desirable issues internally to not recognize a great professional business when they see one.
Gentlemen was extremely nice. I had a broken watch and he repaired it very quickly and efficiently. I highly recommended
Great service-fixed my watch and guarantees it for 1 year. Both gentlemen that do the repair work are really nice, friendly and honest. Will definitely return whenever I need repairs or batteries.
I have been going there the last 8yrs they stand behind the Name of Buisness: Fast Fix 1hr-:)
Desy is very professional and quick to service what you need. Spent little time waiting for him to inspect what was going on and was able to fix my jewelry in an hour! Amazing and friendly guy.
Great customer service, very helpful. I will definitely be back.
Brought an old valuable family ring. Didnt want to send it off and got to watch him work on it. Went really well and would recommend.
Just had my watch serviced and received exceptional inspections and service on my rings. Friendly and professional technicians
Excellent service. They fixed my watch in literally 5 minutes. I definitely recommend this place to anyone needing jewelry or watches repaired quick and the job done right the first time.
Excellent work!! I had to get my rings resized and Desy did just that, but even better than what I had expected. You cant even tell that both my rings were resized, and one of them being an eternity band. I went from a size 3.25 to a size 5. The quality of his work is superb, and he pays attention to details. Highly recommend!
I am EXTREMELY pleased with the AWESOME work done to my Rolex Datejust. I will tell my Family and Friends the GREAT customer service I received today. Thanks so much, I will be back!!!
Great customer service. Very nice owner. You need to go here for any watch repair.
My watch battery was replaced quickly and with great customer service. Will definitely return!
Very speedy service and friendly staff. Thank you so much Desy Quintero. Ill definitely be back.
Ex service...very friendly..i would recommend to friends
Great peopleThey fixed my bracelet and it looks wonderful!Definitely would recommend
Excellent service, and so quick and helpful!! He did a great job fixing my broken jewelry, and was so kind!! I’ll definitely be back!
I have been dealing/purchasing items such as custom gold pieces made by my request to watches and diamond pieces for years. I only trust them with my Rolex watches for polishing and all maintenance. Desy made my platinum GIA certified custom diamond wedding ring with special engraving and the whole process was a real pleasure. I recommend 1 hour jewelry and watch repair to all my friends and family for their jewelry needs. Very Trustworthy company.
Great Customer Service Prices were very reasonable helped me out a lot my watch got repaired while I was shopping worked out Great
Awesome service!! Desy made my day! Had work done at another jeweler and thought something wasn’t right. While walking through Oakwood Mall I thought I would just stop by this little shop and ask a question or two. Come to find out 2 of my prongs weren’t even touching my diamond that I had reset on a new setting. Their microscope and big screen set up allows you to see exactly what they are talking about and watch them working! Very impressive and I walked away knowing this is the place for all my future repairs and general jewelry purchases. They’ll even service my “special” watches. The price can’t be beat!If they don’t have what you’re looking for, I’m confident they will find it!
Mr. Desi was super nice and frank with me he fixed the links on my Casio digital watch in 5 minutes. Totally referable!
Desy is likely the most amiable watchmaker this side of the Mississippi. He really puts his customers first by giving honest (and expert) service recommendations. I brought in a handful of watches, a couple for new batteries and an automatic for a diagnosis (running slow), and Desy was quick to diagnose the issue and quickly handle everything. I was on my way as a satisfied customer faster than I could get lunch! Ill surely be returning to him for all my future watch needs, and refer friends and family to his business. Thanks Desy!
Mr. Desi got me in and out super fast. By the time he started on my watch and finished it was under 5 minutes.
Very professional. Made a repair quickly for a reasonable price.
My fiancée’s engagement ring was repaired in less than 10 minutes! Amazing! Thank you so much!
Had my wedding ring repaired and cleaned. Desi was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a screen to watch while he was working on it. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Great service with quality work. Excellent work for watch repairs.
This business is good for fixing watches and watch batteries but they cant be trusted to handle fine jewelry. I asked them to repair a broken white gold chain of mine and the guy ended up welding the chain together, but threw out the clasp and roughly an inch of the chain in the process. The chain was unwearable after that since it could not be unlinked or fit over anyones head. Rather than owning up to the mistake, the jeweler insisted that we mustve lost it before giving it to him. They then charged me for the repair anyways but held on to the chain for 2 more weeks to install a clasp on it for free. They did not call me when the work was done. I had to keep showing up at the store to guess and check if it was done. They did not answer a single phone call of mine when trying to check in on the work. Its now been 4 days since picking up the chain and the new clasp they installed detached from chain putting me back at square one. BOTTOM LINE - Do not trust them to repair chains and fine jewelry.
Is it still in business does he add extra michael kor black links to watches
Rapid 5-Star services provided in under 10 minutes.-Desy provided a full cleaning and battery change on my 20 year old Citizen watch in under the time it would have taken to order lunch.-Centrally located near the food court in the OakWood Mall.-Kiosk was very clean and presentable.Meticulous and highly professional, I will recommend this location to my friends and family.
The staff member was very knowledgeable, and friendly. Their service was quick, and the quality of their work is excellent. Would definitely go back!
Outstanding service and prices. Very friendly and a pleasure to do business with. 100% recommend.
Took my Breitling automatic in for repair, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, most importantly they kept me informed at all times and finished the repair at the time they said they would. Very impressed.
I came here to have my Breitling watch repaired And could not be happier. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Highly recommended
I would like to thank the gentleman for fixing my watch. You all did a wonderful job. Thank again.
I went there 2 wks ago. I was told that I would get a call the next day letting me know if my 2 Coach watches were able to be fixed. Im STILL waiting on a call. The # that I was given goes straight to VM & Ive left countless msgs. This is terrible because im working out of town right now.
They did a good job repairing my gold rope chain I was really satisfied with their work
Came here on vacation and stopped by because a gorgeous chain that caught my fiancé’s eye. Desy is awesome and very personable. Glad we stopped by and made the purchase!
They answer all your questions, jewelry is very nice go check them out you wont be sorry
My son broke my friend’s glasses so I ran to oakwood to get them fixed. First, I tried LensCrafters, then the jewelry store next door. Both told me that they could not help me or do anything to the glasses to fix them. Feeling defeated, I was about to go home when I listened to this little voice in my head that told me to go to 1 Hour Jewelry and Watch repair. I’ve been to them before to fix a few pieces of Jewelry and they’ve done an outstanding job. However, I did not think they could fix a pair of glasses. I WAS WRONG. Desy took my friend’s glasses without hesitation and in a mere 20 minutes, THEY WERE BRAND NEW AGAIN. Exceptional, fast service. And they make the impossible, possible again! Thank you Desy!!!!
I came into the Oak wood mall today, 08-26-2017 looking for a jewelry store to repair a diamond that fell out of the center of my ring. Zales stated that they didnt want to take the risk of damaging the ring so I stumbled upon 1 hour jewelry and watch repair. As soon as I walked up, I was greated, I stated what I needed and my ring was fixed in two minutes on the spot. I would recommend this shop to anyone who would like to be treated with dignity and respect along with the utmost in getting the job done. One love.
I recently had a diamond replaced in my wedding band the jeweler went above and beyond by buffering, removing scuff marks from my plantinum wedding ring which looks 💯 better. It looks better than when my husband first put it on my finger.If you need a jeweler I recommend 1 Hour Jewelry and Watch Repair located in the heart of Gretna @ Oakwood Shopping Mall.A satisfied customer,Mrs. V. H.
The best jewelery repair in the city, dey took 2 hours to size both of my rings and not ah diamond fell out I love em🤗🤗🤗
The service I received was beyond Great my ring was fixed and just like brand new in the matter of 20 minutes great coustomer service I will always do business with these guys.
Excellent customer service, great prices and best place to shop for your jewelry needs.
Loved it, the staff is awesome and they help a ton. The owner is very helpful and friendly.
Omg! Desy is the best ever! He did everything beyond the call of duty to assist me in repairing my diamond ring! I have found a friend for life! I will definitely be back again!
This place is great quick service and excellent prices. A diamond fell off my beautiful antique ring so I searched for a place to get it repaired. All the places I found big name jewelry companies I walked into told me some ridiculous fee for the repair and also that I had to wait weeks before getting my ring back. I couldn’t stand the though of not having my ring on my finger for that long I noticed the 1 hr jewelry repair the job was done in less than an hour. I’m happy I found Alfredo and Desy the jeweler, he is a craftsman an artisan. He explained in detail everything he was doing to repair my ring, even showed me a magnified image of the ring as he prepared to seal cracks in the ring that would prevent the diamonds from becoming loose and fall off again. I never write reviews but I was very satisfied with his work. That is why I took the time to write this. Don’t take my word for it, if you have jewelry that needs any type of repair, craks, polishing Desy is your man. They also repair watches. Thanks for taking the time to read.
I love this guy he old school so he does everything to perfection and he honor his work, his greeting and hand shake shows me im getting honest and honerable work and he has extradionary selection of fine jewelery and i consider him master jeweler
They were quick, cheap, and super friendly and resized my great grandfathers gold ring perfectly
Get experience at the jewelry repair shop, good customer service and very friendly.
Amazing work and friendly staff! They was really fast, totally coming back!
Went for getting watchlinks taken out and he cleaned both my wedding and engagement ring. He does fantastic work and service was quick. Will be back for future jewelry work.
Quick service and very nice owner.
I have an expensive wedding ring that they fixed. The prongs were worn and needed a new bottom part. The ring new cost several thousand dollars and looks even better now.
Service is exceptional! Time and money well spent.
These people are the only ones I trust with wifes engagment ring. They do excellent work and fast. Incredibly organized shop. Thank you
These guys are awesome!! They fixed my engagement ring in about 10 minutes!
I brought my unique wedding ring to three jewlers for repair prior to being referred to 1 Hour Jewelery And Watch Repair. The others would not touch it. One even recommended that I have it redesigned rather than fixed. Not Desy at 1 Hour! Desy had the equipment to study the ring, and not only did he fix it, he restored it to an almost new condition. Really, the ring looks amazing! I appreciate that he understood the value of the ring to me and he cared and took his time to consult with me before doing anything. His work is outstanding! I truly am 100% satisfied, and 1 Hour will be first on my list for any other repairs and to recommend to others. Thanks, Desy!
Loved it so much!! Such good service.
Very good experience . Repaired my chain to like new in one hour . I highly recommend them .
Fast service and friendly employees! Highly recommended!
Beas t place they fixed my ring an good timeing very nice people must go here again😘
