    DO NOT COME HERE FOR ANY WATCH NEEDS. First time coming to this store and without a doubt will be my last time. Came in to take two links off my vintage Day Date (reference number 1803) that has never been adjusted since purchase and I deeply regret it. It’s clear to see that they did not use the proper size tool to remove the links, damaging one of the link screws. Only reason I came here instead of Rolex is because the Rolex store is currently being remodeled and states that they are still open within Ben Bridge. I also found it very rude that the woman who was supposed to be assisting me was more interested in interrogating me on where and how I got my watch. Practically implying it’s not factory. Coming from the jewelry industry myself I found this to be unprofessional.

    After a long long wait, finally it is my turn to get my watch. Thanks to Linda, she took my need seriously, she remembered the combination I preferred. I am very happy with the new watch. Again, thank you Linda!

    Joyce is a very important staff at this store. Kind, attentive, and eye-catching helped me get the watches I wanted for my baby is about to give birth. I was happy to present a superhero watch to my husband to celerbrate become a father. He is happy with this watch everyday.

    Finally got the much awaited call. I was in the market for a new watch, I went in and spoke to Victor. He was a pleasure to deal with, took his time to show me any display I was interested in. Left my info and about 3 weeks later I had the watch on my wrist. I would highly recommend Ben Bridge to anyone in the market for a new time piece. They were so considerate and generally helpful. What a great experience and one I can't wait to duplicate.

    Nazzy was an absolute delight to work with. My husband had his eye on the Rolex Batman Jubilee for quite some time. She communicated with me over many months until the item was finally available. Nazzy is gracious, patient and super kind. Her knowledge about the product is commendable. I am unseasoned in the watch department so when she would educate me, I was thrilled to be guided as I secretly shopped for my husband’s gift. Thank you to Nazzy and the entire Ben Bridge staff!

    All the staff here are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I dropped a watch off for a new battery last night and it was quickly complete this morning, with warranty, for half the price of “quick fix” mall shops. I was quite surprised to see their watchmaker Brian still working at 6:45 on a Saturday evening. We spoke for a few minutes before and after the store closed while he answered various questions about maintaining watches. He’s very welcoming and clearly passionate about his work.

    Regina was a pleasure to work with in acquiring my Rolex. I had been to a few other authorized dealers that didn’t seem interested in helping me but she was able to get me the Explorer I had been looking for. I definitely will continue to come back for any other Rolex purchases.

  • 5/5 Meryna O. 7 months ago on Google
    Laman is very nice and professional. She made me feel like a valued customer. She was very knowledgeable about the piece of jewelry I purchased. The gift wrapping she did for me looked very nice. She handled my purchase carefully and respectfully.

  • 5/5 Scott E. 6 months ago on Google
    Regina was very helpful in obtaining my wife’s watch. She was diligent in her communication with us regarding the new inventory and combinations my wife preferred. Very professional and great service.

  • 5/5 Gregory T. 10 months ago on Google
    I had a great experience with Regina. She was a consummate professional at every step of the purchase. I never felt like any questions were dumb and she answered everything very engagingly. The fitting was perfect and she handled the watch as meticulously as our interaction. Thank you for providing great service and a pleasurable experience!

    We had such a great experience at Ben Bridge. Joyce is very patient and helpful to make sure we get the right piece for my wife. We were traveling from NJ and will certainly be back. Do yourself a favor and stop by. They have beautiful jewelry and watches.

    We love Nazzy at Ben Bridge Jeweler. She’s such an amazing person and so professional at what she does. Anytime we needed jewelry or watches she always came through for us and helped with smooth transactions. I already recommended so many people and will continue to recommend more. She’s awesome!! Always smile on her face. Thank you Nazzy for everything you do!!!

  • 5/5 Dominic A. 6 months ago on Google
    I can happily say Ben Bridge is the finest watch and jewelry store you can go to, in addition to their beautiful jewelry and watches I have only experienced the best customer service imaginable. I had the pleasure of Nazzy helping me and she really is the best of the best, without a doubt I can’t see myself going anywhere else when it comes to jewelry and watches in the future. Josephine is also extremely friendly and thoughtful and I know she will do your her best to have you leaving with a smile on your face. Great product and even greater people they will treat you like family.

    This review is for my wonderful SA Nazzy. I met her just recently but I did express that I wanted to buy a couple watches for my friends and family and gave her my wishlist. I never thought she would be so great at remembering what I was looking for but she was able to help me find a couple watches in a short period of time. Her efficiency and sweet personality is what draws me to working with her and i cannot say enough great things. I also love her manager Josephine! i cannot recommend this Rolex location enough.

  • 5/5 Michael L. 1 year ago on Google
    I honestly wish I can give 100 stars if I could! Thank you to Josephine and Regina for providing the best customer service! Thank you for setting the standard for how customers should be greeted, treated, and taken care of. I brought my wife and 2 babies to shop for jewelry and both Josephine and Regina were playing with my kids while letting me shop. I've never had this kind of service before! The location is beautiful and the customer service is top notch. Hard to ask for anything else!

    Stopped in today at UTC La Jolla after researching TUDOR watches and having my eye on the Black Bay GMT. Marikris was extremely helpful, friendly and she definitely knows the TUDOR line. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, and that I chose to make it here! I will definitely be back and highly recommend working with Marikris!

  • 5/5 Sunny K. 1 year ago on Google
    What more can I say? Since the first time I walked into the store, I felt like family. From jewelry, to watches, I wouldn’t shop anywhere else. What’s even more amazing, everyone here remembers you and says hi. I get excited to come and shop here. Josephine is such a pleasure to work with. I cannot thank you enough for always finding the best gifts for me and my whole family. Come by and check out the amazing jewelry here you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!!!!

    I had a great experience working with Linda during my recent watch purchase. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable in all things horology, Linda was able to facilitate a special birthday treat to myself and I cannot thank her enough. It's always a pleasure dropping in and talking watches with this group. I look forward to working with Linda and talking reference numbers in the years ahead.

  • 5/5 Frank L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience! I was welcomed in and assisted at great length! All of my questions were answered and no one pressured me on the time I took from their staff or for the purchase of any particular brand or model. I did end up making a fairly substantial purchase and I feel fantastic about the money spent and the time they shared with me. THANK YOU so much! I will definitely be a return customer!

  • 5/5 Justin G. 2 years ago on Google
    Rolex associate Victor T: a man of his word. Good salesman but not pushy. I can't wait to see the new store post remodel! I'm on my second purchase here. Buy here with confidence! The same security guard is always on duty and vigilant at the front door welcoming you in. Yes the waits for our beloved Rolex watches are very long but if you're patient and reasonable you will get your piece! Thank you again Victor and Ben Bridge. You guys are aces and I love my watches. That's two fantastic watches from here now and I can't wait for my next trip in! It's always an exciting moment when the phone rings and it says BEN BRIDGE! Thank you thank you thank you!

  • 5/5 Max M. 2 years ago on Google
    Victor was wonderful and the consummate sales professional. Within minutes of meeting him it was clearly evident that not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the brand he was representing but also truly passionate about what he does. Being in the sales and customer service industry myself, I can only hope that his experience working with me was equally as pleasant. Thank you Victor!

    Chris helped us find wedding bands within thirty minutes. After trying to have this wedding for three years and being blocked by the pandemic multiple times and multiple ways, we can’t tell you what a relief it is to have something go so smoothly

  • 5/5 svrocko1 2 years ago on Google
    I can’t say that I have been interested in jewelry for most of my life but that has changed recently, probably due to my experiences at Ben Bridge! I stop in from time to time to window shop and have a great experience every time. The staff members I have interacted with have all been great. I don’t feel pressured in any way; the staff are just very helpful. Greeting me, answering questions when I ask, but not being pushy if I am just looking around. On a recent visit I took a ring in to get resized and polished. Usually I am looking at watches so Victor came to help me even though he had just stepped in the door. He was probably surprised I wasn’t asking about watches, but watches isn’t his only area of expertise so he was able to help me with the ring without skipping a beat. We discussed the options for the ring and when it could be delivered as I needed it pretty quickly. I later received a call from Victor to discuss a potential issue with the work. We discussed the issue, and I decided to proceed with the work. On the day Victor said it would be ready, I received another call that indeed it was ready. When I picked the ring up I was pleasantly surprised that the ring fit perfectly and with the polish the ring was looking better than I remember it looking the day I first received it over 20 years ago! Because jewelry is a relatively new interest for me I frequently learn new things when I visit Ben Bridge (Ben Bridge has sustainably-mined, non-conflict diamonds from Canada, for instance) but I think the most valuable lesson I learned is that besides being very friendly and knowledgable, Victor doesn’t make empty promises, he does what he says he will do. For that, he has earned my trust. It makes doing business with Ben Bridge a pleasure, and I look forward to doing more business with Victor and Ben Bridge in the future. They have my highest recommendation!

  • 5/5 Juha S. 2 years ago on Google
    I bought 2 Rolex in this store. one is mine, the other is my husband's. We both satisfied, and waiting the third piece. Joyce is super kind and amazing faithful. Her recommendation is perfect. Even she allowed me to try her beautiful rolex watch on me as a sample. It helps me alot to choose my one. I hope get some more pieces in here. Thanks alot.

  • 5/5 Nicolas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Spoke to a very nice lady who was honest and helpful. We came in to inquire about a Rolex and when it comes to that finding an honest dealer is more than hard. (had visited a super shady dealer in town prior to that). Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Ignacio Montez j. 2 years ago on Google
    You cannot go wrong with making a purchase at the UTC Ben Bridge. Their customer service is the best! Regina and Joyce have been incredibly helpful in picking out several pieces and obtaining a custom piece to give to my wife on her birthday. It has been an incredible experience which has been facilitated by their manager Josephine. My Thanks to the entire staff at UTC. They have made me feel like family!

  • 5/5 DAVI (. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience from the moment I walked in! Katie and Josephine were both a pleasure to have helping me on this journey to finding the perfect ring and their customer service was above any other experience I have had with jewelers in the past. Katie was very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the process was smooth and take some of the pressure off of such a big decision. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for their next piece of jewelry or more specifically to my experience an engagement ring to woo their significant other. Next time you are in the store ask for Katie and you will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Raj G. 2 years ago on Google
    I walked in to Ben Bridge UTC looking for a Rolex that I wanted to gift my dad. I really had no hope of finding the right one. But Victor was so welcoming. He took the time to talk about the different models, let me try a few pairs, suggested models that my dad would like and he was very patient. Talked about the current market, availability of different watches and sold me the one I wanted. I would highly recommend this team. They were professional and courteous. Victor was genuine and truly a pleasure to do business with.

  • 5/5 King K. 1 year ago on Google
    I do not write reviews often but here I want to say thank you so much to Joyce for all the help to get the watch I have wanted. It truly means more than just getting the watch I have wanted. Joyce was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I am really glad that I was met by Joyce the day I walked into the store. I would definitely recommend working with Joyce for those who are looking for a watch or jewelry. Thank you again Joyce!

  • 5/5 Ethan C. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience at this authorized dealer was phenomenal. They treated me as a valued customer, despite me being on the younger side. If you’re looking for your next luxury watch, I highly recommend checking out their immense selection. They carry anything from grand seiko to Rolex, and do so with charismatic staff, who are all more than willing to assist you. A++, and I will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Chango P. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great experience at Rolex today. Everyone was beyond welcoming and friendly. Was able to try on a very nice date just and just talk watches with the vp. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Will definitely be my Ad of choice from now on can’t wait until I can finally pull the trigger on a bluesy. Thanks everyone for a great experience and for being so nice I really appreciate the service and hospitality!

  • 5/5 Maricar G. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been looking for a Rolex watch since Jan 2022 and none of the stores in Las Vegas, Maui and Manila had found a Rolex watch for me. Josephine was very accommodating and was able to find a watch for me. Such a positive and joyful experience today. Ben Bridge has never failed me through the years.

    Walked in and was greeted by Marikris. Was interested in a Tudor Ranger and she helped me out. She was really knowledgeable of the brand. Answered all my questions, so I left. Brought my wife back and Marikris couldn’t have been more nice, showed my wife the watch but I was still was going to wait. At no time did she try to pressure us. We walked out, my wife told me she wanted me to have it for Christmas so we ended up going right back in. Honestly, everyone seemed so nice and professional. Great experience.

    Linda H was able to source a date just mother of pearl for me after almost a year. She check in from time to time with other pieces but was never pushy about it. Linda was patient and very helpful in helping me through the process as we aren’t locals. She was communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend the store if you are looking for something.

  • 5/5 OMAR A. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Linda is amazing. She worked hard to get me the watch of my dreams. Linda made the wait for the perfect watch an enjoyable journey and always checked in with me to let me know she was working hard to find me my Bluesy. The Team at Ben Bridge is amazing. Linda and Marikris make a great team!!

  • 5/5 Ken & J. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had a wonderful experience at this store. Regina went above and beyond to help me secure my dream Rolex. She took the time and effort to explain pertinent details to me (warranty, watch servicing, sizing) which I appreciate. Her direct and first hand approach combined with her knowledge and warmth makes for the perfect blend of amazing customer service.

  • 5/5 Giselle Zamora (. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Had an amazing experience at Ben Bridge buying my husband’s 1st Rolex. Linda and Victor made us feel so welcome, they were very knowledgeable and answered every question we had. They gave us time and space as this was a big purchase for us and even offered us champagne, chocolates and teddy bears for our boys while we waited for the transaction to be complete. We will definitely be coming back whenever we are looking for jewelry or watches since we had such a wonderful experience here!

    Laman was so helpful and friendly. She explained what's so great and special about the watches that I was interested in. Very gentle and not pushy at all. Great experience and will definitely come back for more purchases in the future!

  • 5/5 Jenny S. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I came in looking for a wedding band and Laman was so sweet and helpful! She was patient in showing me and my mom all the different options and didn’t pressure or rush me at all when making a decision
