There’s something about watch repair that feels both ancient and incredibly precise. In a world that moves faster by the day, the act of opening up a mechanical movement and bringing it back to life still requires the same patience and skill it did decades ago. For those of us in Dallas and the surrounding suburbs, having a trusted service partner matters. At Noah's Fine Watches & Jewelry, we handle everything from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Whether you’re walking in with a well-worn Omega Speedmaster or a Cartier Tank that needs polishing, the goal is the same: to keep your watch running as beautifully as the day you bought it.
Watches We Service
Most of the watches that come through our service department are Rolex models. Classic Datejusts, workhorse Submariners, and everything in between. After Rolex, the bench is usually filled with the brands we’re authorized to service: Omega, Cartier, Baume & Mercier, Montblanc, Tag Heuer, Tissot, Longines, Hamilton, and Oris. That authorization isn’t just a formality. It means we have direct access to genuine parts, brand-specific tools, and ongoing factory training. It means your watch is opened by someone who’s trained to service it, not just fix it. Now, there are still pieces that need to head back to the manufacturer. Proprietary calibers and more complex repairs sometimes call for specialized attention. But the majority of the work is done right here in our Dallas watch repair shop. And that’s not something we take lightly. It’s something we take pride in.
In-House Dallas Watchmaker
We have a watchmaker on-site. No shipping your watch out. No waiting for it to be sent across the country or abroad. When you hand off a watch at Noah's in Frisco, Texas, you're leaving it in the hands of someone who's in the back room, behind the bench, with loupe on and tweezers in hand. Pressure testing, gasket replacement, and polishing are all done here. We use manufacturer-certified tools and techniques, and our bench is built for high-end work. Every movement we touch is treated like a movement that matters.
Watch Repair Process
The process is simple but thorough. Some clients bring in their watch for a battery replacement or bracelet adjustment. That might take just a few minutes. Others bring in a watch that needs a full service, which can include disassembly, cleaning, oiling, regulation, and resealing. For something like a polish, turnaround can range from two to six weeks depending on workload. For full movement overhauls, expect anywhere from a couple of weeks to two months. The timeline reflects our attention to detail, not backlog. We don’t rush through repairs just to meet deadlines. Every piece gets the time it deserves.
Common Repairs We Handle
Gasket Replacements & Water Resistance testing: One of the most overlooked but essential services we offer at Noah’s is gasket replacement and water resistance testing. Whether a client is gearing up for a beach vacation or just wants peace of mind before getting caught in a Dallas summer downpour, this is where the invisible work makes all the difference. Gaskets are your watch’s first line of defense against moisture, dust, and pressure—tiny rubber rings that quietly take the hit so your movement doesn’t have to. Over time, they dry out or flatten, especially if a watch sees daily wear. That’s where our in-house pressure testing equipment comes in. We reseal the case, replace compromised gaskets, and test each piece to ensure it’s still holding strong. It’s the kind of work that often goes unnoticed, but for anyone looking for reliable Dallas Watch Repair that prioritizes long-term function, this is where the magic happens.
Movement Services: The heart of any mechanical watch is its movement, and keeping it running smoothly requires a trained hand. At Noah’s, our in-house watchmaker handles everything from basic regulation to full disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly. Each movement is examined under magnification, oiled with precision, and tested for accuracy over several days. For clients looking for trusted Dallas watch repair that treats every caliber with respect, this is where attention to detail meets mechanical artistry.
Bracelet Resizing and Clasp Adjustment: Getting the fit right is everything. Whether you're picking up a new piece or finally adjusting that watch that never sat quite right, bracelet resizing and clasp adjustment is one of those small but transformative services. At Noah’s, we resize links and adjust clasps in-store, often while you wait. It’s a precision task that requires the right tools and a practiced hand. We take care to ensure the bracelet sits comfortably, with no pinching or slippage, just a secure, confident fit.
Polishing and Case Refinishing: Over time, even the most careful wearers will start to notice surface scratches and dulling on their watch case. Polishing and case refinishing at Noah’s is more than just a cosmetic touch-up. It’s a way to restore the original spirit of the watch without compromising its lines or edges. Using professional-grade tools and compounds, our team brings back the finish while preserving the integrity of the case. Depending on the complexity and workload, turnaround can range from two to six weeks, but the result is always worth the wait.
Battery Replacements and Quartz Diagnostics: When a quartz watch stops ticking, it could be as simple as a depleted battery or something deeper within the circuit. At Noah’s, we handle battery replacements and quartz diagnostics in-house using specialized equipment to check voltage, detect short circuits, and verify functionality. For clients relying on precise, grab-and-go timekeeping, we make sure their quartz pieces are operating exactly as they should, with accuracy and dependability.
Dallas Watch Repair You Can Trust
This industry is built on trust. Anyone can claim they service watches, but not everyone has the authorizations, training, and experience to do it well. When you bring a watch to Noah's, you're not just leaving a timepiece. You're leaving a piece of history. Whether it's an heirloom or your first luxury watch, it matters to us. Being located in Frisco, Texas, we see a mix of seasoned collectors and first-time buyers, each with different needs but the same expectations. They want a place that knows their watch and can treat it with the same care they would.
The Tools of the Trade
From pressure testing machines to ultrasonic cleaning tanks, we invest in tools that match the level of timepieces we work on. When we perform a polish, it’s not just a quick buff. It’s a multi-stage process with various wheels, compounds, and microscopic attention to detail. Our goal is always to maintain the integrity of the watch. We avoid over-polishing cases or damaging bevels. If a client requests a light polish, that’s exactly what they’ll get.
When Do You Need Service?
If your watch is running fast or slow, stopping randomly, or showing condensation under the crystal, it’s time. Even if it looks fine, gaskets can dry out over time and compromise water resistance. Every watch is different, but a good rule of thumb is a full service every 5 to 7 years for mechanical pieces. For quartz watches, a battery replacement every 1 to 2 years, depending on brand and function.
A Community Built on Detail
Repair work isn’t the flashiest part of the business. It’s quiet, slow, and detailed. But it’s also where the real connection with our clients happens. We get to see the watches they wear every day, the ones with stories behind them. That kind of access builds trust. Our clients in Dallas, Frisco, Plano, and the surrounding suburbs count on us to keep their watches performing like they should. And we don’t take that lightly.
