Hal Martin, INC Review

Service was exceptionally well very well attended very happy with my purchase will buy more we will be buying more as the time goes by the staff was very nice welcomed us like family really appreciate that I ve known about this place for quite some time and never stopped in the very happy we did if there was 10 stars I would give it 10 stars

My wife has been taking my Movado watches to this business for years now. She just recently picked up one that needed repair on the band. Their work is amazing, their prices are not only reasonable but outrageously inexpensive and their customer service is so professional. Thank you guys for always asking care of my heirlooms. Ya rock.

Not very friendly when I went in. Gentleman was very short and didn't ask one question, asked for a card and he seemed bothered. First time there and will not be back. The lady was friendly because she may have noticed the Platinum diamond president I had on that I planned to add to my 10 deep collection but they lost out.

Excellent service and fair pricing when selling gold/silver.

I had my watched service and it runs beautifully now. Very personalized, professional and friendly! Will definitely return!

This review is about the quality of work and the excellent staff they have working for them.
I have had four different employees great me and take the time to understand what I needed and what I am looking for.

Four (4) years ago I took in my 1973 Double-Red Sea Dweller for repair. The workmanship was fantastic and I have not had any issues with the watch. Last week I took a Piaget watch and my wedding band in for work. I received both of them back ahead of schedule and the workmanship of course was fantastic. They also have some quality jewelry and high-end watch.

You might say I may be a little slow about giving out reviews. But this one has some time behind it.

I just recently completed my second watch purchase with Hal. When the time came to find just the right piece Hal went out of his way to find me exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a vintage Rolex President with pie pan dial. In short order I had a text message from Hal letting me know he had found what I was looking for. The piece was so far beyond my expectations I am absolutely over the moon.

When the time came to close the deal Hal gave me a tremendous deal and saved me thousands of dollars over what the market would have had me pay anywhere else. His attention to detail and my needs as a customer are so far and above what anyone else would offer I can't imagine shopping for a used Rolexes anywhere else. Thanks to him and his team for being people you can trust in the business.

If I could give you 6 stars I would! My friend Tarang earned my trust since day one. He has not only helped me but all my friends that I have sent to him. With Tarang I go with my eyes close knowing that I will always be treated fairly and more and will get the best value. He is not only a smart businessman but a very genuine person so takes the time to know and care about his clients. Everyone at Hal Martin is so very kind but I always choose to deal with Tarang. He is a friend to me and recommend him to everyone who wants to make a purchase or sell.

This is one of the most reputable high end watch dealers in the USA. These folks are highly knowledgeable, professional and most of all honest. I have more than 30 years buying selling and collecting high end watches and the offers I have received from the folks at HAL'S have been competitive and thus far I have sold almost every watch I have offered to them. If you are looking for good honest folks that buy and sell at fair competitive prices then this is your place. I normally do not take the time to write reviews but I thought this review was absolutely needed after reading a review that in my opinion was one sided and unfair. I have bought and sold for years and hold a GIA certification. I would trust this business at any level.

I wanted to thank Barbara Bailey for going above and beyond finding a difficult-to-obtain strap for my wife's Reverso. I know it took a lot of effort and Barbara really came through. The staff (and selection) at Hal's is top notch!

I accidentally got my watch wet and it started to fog underneath the glass to the point where I couldn't even see the face of the watch anymore. I stopped by Hal Martin's and was greeted with smiles. They were very accommodating and were able to help me right away. They are top notch individuals and of high quality as a store. I recommend anyone looking for serious watch/jewelry repair or considerations to check out this place. Best in Houston I have experienced so far!

Great place very professional selection amazing as well as prices.if you are in the market for a Rolex this is it!

I have been in the store 5 times in the last two years. They are very community and public friendly. Their professional courtesy is unmatched. I am very thankful to Charles, Andrew and the rest of the crew. I was helped with a watch band, wristwatch links and batteries in the past --and today I bought a watch. Hal, you have a bunch of superheroes working for you!!

Great person & fantastic staff, Hal is a
great trusting friend of mine.tks.HAL

Referred to me years ago by someone I trust, Hal Martin has handled my Rolex servicing for a while now. They told me it would be 6-8 weeks on my most recent experience with them but they turned it around in 3. I asked them about it and they said they like to underpromise and over deliver. Sounds like my kind of folks.

I had a great experience, Tarang was helpful, fair, and kind. I ll definitely be back!

Fantastic job fixing my Rolex watch and servicing it. It looks better than brand new! And better price than using the Rolex factory. Thanks Hal Martin s!

Took a Ladies Rolex watch in for repair that was purchased there in 2003 for 3000.00+. Had watch in once before for repair about 5years ago ( 500.00 ). Also purchased a diamond bezel for the watch from them for 1200.00 three years ago. Repair estimate came back at 1400.00+. When I told them I thought that was extremely high,they basically said that what the repairs would be. I then asked them what they would give me for the watch if I wanted to trade it in on another Rolex- they offered 1000.00 with the 1200.00 diamond bezel I purchased 3 years ago. So basically, they were saying the watch was worthless and the bezel was worth 200.00 less than what I paid for it. Extremely disappointed in Hal Martin's.

Very professional but friendly staff with a family atmosphere! Chris did an excellent job with us.

This best seller in htown for your every occasions affairs from wedding to anniversaries to parties engagements to just tell Jefferson the postman sent me!

Very warm, honest and helpful! The store has beautiful pieces, as well! I will definitely go there first before going to a jewelry store from now on!

Looking for our next ROLEX or that rare find? Come to HAL MARTIN where you are always greeted with a smile and amazing customer service! They have the best selection time pieces and beautiful custom jewelry. Houston s largest selection of Rolex watches.

The only place to buy fine watches in Houston. Period.

Great place. Walked in and the lady help me buy a Rolex Air King I was looking at. She sized it perfect and I was on my way. Thanks!

I took some jewelry in of my grandmother s to have sized, repurposed and redesigned and I can t tell you enough how happy I was! I took pieces in that I didn t know what to do with, and Taran just ran with his ideas. Literally had tears in my eyes when I picked up my last piece. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

I have had a few watches serviced there and have always had perfect work performed. Great place. I highly reccomend them.

Hal martin was very responsive in getting me a bid for repairing my watch and returned it to me looking great! Would certainly use them for any future repairs. Nice people to work with .

Absolutely great experience! I've bought and sold (as well as had my watch serviced) from Hal Martin's several times over the course of years and every time it's been a pleasure.

I have been getting my watches from the lovely lady at Tell Time Watches for 30 years now. They are always so friendly. There's always a SALE going on

Very friendly and competent staff, diagnosed the problem with my Omega quickly and completed the work when they promised. I ll be back!

Great selection and super nice people. Definitely will be going back for ALL watch and jewelry needs.

Dug out some diamonds which I never wore and ask for a super special wedding set. Wish I could post a picture of my very modern wedding set that will awe all that see it. The work was completed way before I expected and exceeded my expectations for both time and cost. Thank you Hal.

Hal Martin's is the best in selection and service period!

I have bought several Rolex watches from Hal over the years and had him service our watches. Always excellent service and excellent work.

Just bought my first Rolex from them. The experience was fantastic. The customer service was excellent and they were very knowledgeable.

Even though they don't open until 9, I got there at 830 just planning to wait. They were nice enough to take me in early. I needed a watch band adjustment for a watch I didn't even get from them and they fixed it and made sure it fit perfectly. As if that was not enough, they did not charge me! Excellent customer service. While I waited, I took a look at some Rolex's, and the sticker prices were VERY reasonable. I'm buying my next watch here.

Hal Martin s was referred to me by Tenenbaum Jewelers. I m so glad I went!
Professional and courteous. Would highly recommend!

Best place to sell or buy a Rolex. Customer service is EXCELLENT!

Always great customer service with a variety of watches at tremendous prices! And they stand behind their service work. Been a customer for over 10 years!

The team at Hal Martin s is simply the best in Houston. I am treated like family every time I walk in the door. Their selection, prices, advice, and overall client experience is just perfect. I could not imagine buying from anyone else.

Hal and his team are top notch at what they do. I've sold and bough watches at Hal's a few times and the transaction and overall experience is always outstanding. Strongly recommended to do business with.

I went into this store to get a strap adjusted on a Swiss watch. I own a few high end watches and am aware of prices.

I went to purchase a panatime leather strap for my watch and the gentlemen behind the counter proceeded to tell me it would cost me $150. The same strap goes for $35 on their website. I offered $45. And he kicked me out.

Superb service! Many places in the city to patronize for watches and the like but where HM s excels is in their service. They just simply shine in this area. Also, expertise! With their years in business & on hand experts, they ve forgotten more about what they do than some of these other guys even know. This combination makes them a standout in the industry. Very courteous, kind & caring. Not words you hear about businesses these days. Tarang is terrific! A gentleman with a heart for service & focused on excellence. Also, they have the cutest doggy there. Sure to cheer up anyone s day. All the best.

Staff was kinda rude, but that's fine with me their the ones who lost a sale not me ! I purchased my Rolex somewhere else.

their offer on my watch was 20% lower than everywhere else. Even pawn shops offered more than they did. Their watches are over priced by at least 10% and they all have terrible attitudes. They act like they are better than you and act like they don't want your business. Worst Rolex dealer in Houston.

Absolutely the best place to buy and sell Rolex or any beautiful pieces. Great staff and service is top notch!

Always helpful and honest. Under promises and over delivers. Would highly recommend for any watch or jewelry purchase or repair

Best customer service in Houston and great prices on finest watches

Mr. Patel assisted me with adding a link to a band I inherited that did not fit my wrist. He was very nice and very knowledgeable about all the watches. A couple years a go my wife and I bought 3 Breitlings from here all which work flawlessly to this day. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Good selection of high end watches. Takes their time for COA but usually does an excellent job. They are not pushy at all.

Best pre-owned watch dealer in Houston. Tarang is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to the pre-owned watch market. I received a great price for my pre-owned Omega that I was ready to part with. And when it comes time to purchase a new pre-owned in a few months this is the only place that will get my business.

Highly recommended- Tarang and staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable!! There could not be a finer institution!! For a great selection of high end watches, this is the place to go!! Thanks again for a great experience- and a beautiful watch!!

I have an old Rolex that needed a new clasp. After some time they were able to locate one for me which saved me from getting it repaired through Rolex. Great service!

Service is incredible. I will never take my watch anywhere else!

Great customer service, Tarnag and Company are very knowledgeable, always a good watch conversation. I've sold watches here, after getting quotes from a few areas in Houston, Hal had the best offer. Also purchase watch here - can't beat the price. Also had watch services here, no complaints. Also have stopped in on few occasions for bezel changes, scratches to be buffed, they did it w/ no extra charge. Highly recommended.

Great staff, very good quality. I purchased a Rubber B Strap for my Rolex Sub and received excellent service, will buy from them again. Thank you Hal Martins

Great experience. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and KIND! I ll be back for sure.

Outstanding and professional. I had a Patek watch that I needed serviced and polished for an event. The completed the job ahead of schedule, the watch works perfectly and it looks new. They even gave me a travel case for it. I ve brought them several watches and the experience has always been outstanding. I replaced my mother-in-law s Rolex there and the selection and pricing is terrific. I trust them completely.

Terrible customer service by email. That tells me enough to stay away from the showroom in person, as you should too.

What a waste of my time trying to deal with this company. Sent them a serious inquiry with 5 buying questions about a Rolex Day Date on their website while in transit to IAH.

They never got back to me. Explained I was staying in Galveston for the long weekend and would make the 1.5 hour drive in to view/purchase the item if they could answer my questions. Concerns which by the way any used Rolex buyer would need answers to.

Govern yourself accordingly if you decide to even go near this joint.

Excellent staff & service!!! They really do believe in customer service & are very helpful always. Highly recommend Hal s for jewelry watches and repairs.

Hal and his team did an amazing job helping me find the perfect anniversary present. Highly recommended!

Great place to buy a Rolex. Great place to have a Rolex serviced

I have an Omega that was never accurate from the first time I got it. I also had it serviced by Omega under warranty and it still wasn't accurate. The watch was giving me more problems and now after the warranty expired, I thought I would get it serviced at Hal Martin's based on all the positive reviews. The cost to get it serviced was expensive but I believe it was fair based on the movement inside the watch. I also had to patiently wait a few months for the work to be completed, which was expected. But it was all worth it, the watch is now very accurate and looks great. It feels like a new watch.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! My husband and I have been to Hal Martin's a few times....but today I ran into their store because my husband's clasp on his watch kept slipping. I thought i was going to have to drop it off and make another trip to come back and get it. NOT SO!!!!! The lady behind the counter was wonderful. She said "wait a minute and let's see what we can do"--5 minutes later she was back with my watch--clasp fixed and a new battery to boot!!! NO CHARGE!!!! Next year, our daughter graduates and we are thinking about getting her a VERY NICE watch. Guess where we will be shopping!!! THANK YOU HAL MARTIN'S!!!

Hal, Tarang, & Barb treat you like family and that's why they've had my families business for years. Great prices and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

This place sets the benchmark for excellence in customer service! Great selection of new and used watches/jewelry and knowledgeable personnel to guide your buying experience! From buying a Rolex to replacing a simple watch battery and everything in between...Hal's does it all. Go see Kaylnn Teaff and let her show you what exemplary customer service is all about!

I recently had a watch repaired at Hal Martin's Watch and Jewelry Co. I cannot say enough nice things about this establishment! The moment I entered the store I was greeted and asked how they could assist me. The store is pristine, the staff are all pleasant and the service was terrific and very affordable. I would strongly recommend this establishment without any hesitation! David B.

Nice and professional establishment. Highly recommend for buying and selling Rolex.

Truly a world class watch retailer! Came in to get my Rolex authenticated and received incredible and friendly service. Highly recommend!

I ve been doing business with Hal s for years and will continue to do so for many, many more.

We had one of my mothers old rings melted down and used the diamonds and gems to be turned into a pendant for our wedding. The pendant is beautiful and more than I could have asked for. The staff was patient and turnaround was quick. I highly recommend them and we will for sure be back!

Hands down best watch / jewlery store in the Houston area, have bought and sold multiple high end watches from them. Their staff is very knowledgeable about all the products and professional. Andrew has been helping me for the past year and I couldn t say enough great things.

I will be a customer for life! Tarang was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional when it came to picking a diamond and designing our engagement ring. He made the whole process so effortless and goes out of his way to accommodate his customers. The entire staff is always so kind and helpful! Thank you!

The team at Hal Martin s is awesome. They always make you feel like you are their most important customer when you come in regardless of how much you are spending or the reason for your visit. I have purchased many watches and used them for service too over the years and have never had anything but a great experience!

I was looking for a place where I could sell one one of my watches for top dollar and the Rolex store recommended Hal Martin s. The people there are very friendly and super helpful. Special thanks to Caitlyn for her wonderful customer service and to Tarang for going above and beyond during the sell of my watch. 10/10 I absolutely recommend!

This place is a local institution. They treat you like a very old friend every time you walk in. Even if you aren't a Rolex person, They even treated my casio watch like it was a Rolex. I've been coming to this store for several years and always enjoy it. The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable, the watch selection is top notch, and the hot sauce is great.

I tell my friends and family to only service or buy watches here. One time a place broke a Sapphire link trying to change my Rado battery and that was what eventually led me to Hal's.

This place always takes care of me and I'm so grateful for the quality work they put into everything. They give a military discount which keeps me coming back and something most businesses could learn from. If you need your watches or jewelry taken care of, fixed or restored then this is the place. Their selection is amazing also. Everything from the top-of-the-line to anything in between. Keep up the great work!

Excellent service and staff! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, small business with quality results for cleaning and repairing our watches. Highly recommended!

They were so helpful, I came in with my newborn in a car seat and they held open doors and helped me back to my car with all my stuff. They also didn't charge me because I was the first battery change of the day :-)

Great staff!!! Friendly knowledgeable excellent service! No reason to shop elsewhere for a watch.

I came into Hal Martin s with two Rolexes, one that needed to be appraised and the other that needed an exterior polish. Chris treated me extremely well, was enthusiastic about their inventory and the work requested was 10/10. My watch looks like it just came out of the box now.

Best of all, they charge a reasonable price. That s not to say it s cheap, but not expensive. They re very fair.

Thank you guys!

I have been going here for several years for new batteries and basic watch questions. Six years ago we had some issues with my engagement ring. We were able take it to them where they reset the main diamond and replaced some of the chips and then provided an appraisal for my insurance company. Thwy were great throughout the whole process and very reasonably priced.

Very courteous service. Very diverse jewelry and price points

Went in to get an appraisal/authenticity done on a watch I had bought somewhere else. Liz was great - spent the time to make sure I was well educated on my new watch, got it tested and appraised for me while I waited. I asked if the watch needed to be serviced (a $500 expense) and was told to not get it serviced until I had problems with it. They easily could've collected $500 from me (I wanted to ensure the watch was taken care of) but chose to earn my lifetime business instead - customer service that every business shouldstrive to give their customers.
Thanks Liz!

Hal & Tarang have always taken good care of me. Over the last 25 years I have purchased many watches. I have also referred tons of friends that have become lifelong clients. I have never heard anything negative from their experiences. If looking for a watch to buy or one to sell I highly recommend them.

Hal Martin s is one of the best jewelry stores in the nation customer friendly and a great staff to work with. I would definitely recommend Hal Martin s to my friends a family.

Always a great experience at Hal Martin s. I dropped my Rolex off for a few repairs. They gave me an idea of cost, then emailed within the time frame they promised with an exact cost and the time frame to get the repairs done. Cost and time frame were as promised. Picked up my watch today. Looks brand new. Repairs also have some year warranty. Would not leave my watch anywhere else.
