I signed up for Citysearch just to write a review about Hal Martin's because I believe so strongly in their business and how they run it. I have been a regular and frequent customer and friend since I first walked into their store in 2006, and since then I have purchased 4 Rolexes for myself and 3 Rolexes for my family. I've also purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of custom jewelry (perfect platinum/diamond engagement and wedding rings, a diamond necklace and earrings, diamond upgrades for several of the Rolexes and other things). Please don't let the term ""pre-owned Rolex"" scare you. Anyone can walk into a mall jeweler and pay 2x-5x retail for a watch or jewelry item, but this place is truly for the savvy and educated consumer who can afford to pay anything but chooses to spend wisely on luxury goods. For example, if you came in looking for a new 18k gold Rolex Day-Date (AKA ""The Presidents""), who else would show you that the watch had only changed minimally since the early 1980s and then offer you a LESS EXPENSIVE older model (in excellent shape - fully restored with no scratches anywhere, new sapphire crystal, new hands/dial and tight-as-new bracelet) over a MORE EXPENSIVE newer model? Of course they have both, but why waste money on the same thing? Take my advice that I've already given all my friends - GO SEE TARANG FOR ALL OF YOUR WATCH AND JEWELRY NEEDS!!! He will make you and your friends and family very happy. If you want/need a lady's opinion, ask Barbara - she will be happy to give you her honest feedback, even if it means steering you toward a less expensive option. Mickey is their exceptional watchmaker who knows everything about every watch and can do anything, and he will always be happy to talk to you about your watch. These are real people, folks, who will do ANYTHING to help you make the right choice for YOU and you only. I am a loyal customer for life. I encourage you to give them a try - they'll make you happy every time.
Pros: Selection, value, customer service, safe and friendly environment
