Avi and Eli share a passion for precision and superior service. The Dayan brothers purchased a great Rolex back in the 80s, then another and a few more. The Dayan brothers were soon buying, selling and trading watches with other collectors. As the Dayan brother's hobby continued to grow, they dreamed of someday opening a watch shop. The dream of owning a watch shop came to life in 1990 with A&E Watches. The Dayan brother's passion for precision and superior service combined with exceptional quality watches was an immediate success.

After discontinuing the Rolex Day Date II, Rolex came back with a new version of the largest President - the President 40mm. It's a classic Rolex Day Date that's in a class of its own, elegant and classy. This newer version uses a 40mm case and a double quick-set mechanism for easy adjustment. The new feature is that Rolex introduced for the first time the largest President in 18K Rose Gold version. Besides the Rose Gold version it also comes in 18k Yellow Gold, White Gold and Platinum. Which style do you prefer?

I went in for two adjustments for my dad's watch bands. One David Yurman watch and another whatever/no name of importance watch. While I was there, Avi and the team were quick to help me and allowed me to look and try on many different watches. Prices were not out of this world, and service was quick, efficient, and beyond helpful. I selected them at random as they were close to my apartment, but I would for sure for back to them for all my watch needs. I am glad that they have a website and that I can shop them from out of state, where I am moving. Thank you A&E Watches.

This is THE place to go to get your next watch replacement battery - yes for even a cheap Anne Klein like mine! Lovely front line help and were I wanting a Rolex I'd definitely trust these folks - just read the reviews!

I splurged on my first Rolex watch. The staff were so kind and helpful. I am so pleased with my new watch. It's truly beautiful and I am so happy my husband recommended them, as he bought his Rolex there as well. Thank you again! I am so excited, this watch is timeless and will last a lifetime.

Bought my Rolex Submariner from them last year. They are very nice and working fast and 5 years warranty is great!

The customer service was very personal. The transaction was very smooth and the watch was better than described. Inbar was fantastic. I will most likely buy again from them.

Over the course of the past 7 years, I have purchased from Inbar at A and E, 9 Rolex watches ranging from Submariners (3), DateJust (3), GMT Master II (2), DeepSea, Yachtmaster II, and even a Cartier Tank. Each and every time, these watches have been pristine and in immaculate condition as presented prior to the buy. As a business owner, I believe you get what you pay for and I find Inbar and A and E to be a premier Rolex vendor that can be trusted. Inbar is knowledgeable and provides Rolex expertise that is "Real World" information to help the novice or experienced buyer achieve the best value for the money invested in these beautiful timepieces.

Buyer Caveat: Be realistic, if you want a perfect watch, buy a brand new watch. If you buy a vintage watch, it will of course have internal wear not visible to the naked eye. That's on you and not the vendor. Enjoy your watch!

I received a 1995 18238 YG Rolex Day Date from A & E in late March 2022 and brought it to Rolex Service in Beverly Hills on 4/6/22 for evaluation. Rolex stated the spring bars were worn and needed replacement. I know what the spring bars are and they are part of the bracelet. If you read A&E's reply to this post, they again say the spring bars were not worn, dismissing Rolex's evaluation of the watch.

They are doing this to make themselves look better. Who would you trust, the watch manufacturer and their report or a grey market dealer? None the less, after I got the repair estimate from Rolex with their findings, I sent the repair document from Rolex to Inbar at A & E and asked them if they could make the transaction right and they were dismissive and told me the spring bars were not worn, as if they were the official Rolex dealer and brand and Rolex Service was wrong.

A & E said we take care of our customers, yet did not offer to help me in the slightest. They could have credited back my credit card for the amount of the spring bars and or taken off some money from the sale of the watch, but they decided to do absolutely nothing, except whatever would benefit them (sending the watch back to THEM, having THEM repair it, ).

I did not want to send the watch back to A & E because if they sold me a watch with a worn part, how could I trust them to fix it a second time if they screwed up the first time. Rolex Service would fix it right and right the first time. At the end of the day the customer has to be happy or you have no business. Diamonds East International in Florida sold me a great 18238 Day Date, that did not have the issues the watch from A & E had, I suggest you give them your business.

Another reason to go with Diamonds East is, I had a friend that had a problem with their 18238 and approached Diamonds East and they cut my friend a large check to cover the issues with his watch and the check was received within one business day, now that is taking care of the customer!

My experience with Avi from A&E was an example of how great businesses should be run--from kind people, to ease of transaction, to keeping their word, and offering me an excellent price for the Daytona Rolex I sold them. We had a slight glitch in the transaction because of bank hours and not only was it immediately rectified, Avi added a little extra payment without saying anything for my very slight inconvenience. I highly recommend them!

I recently purchased a watch here and could not have been more impressed by the service! The people here are friendly, helpful and went above and beyond with finding a watch that was right for me. If you're looking to buy a watch and on the fence about where to go, I would suggest going in and checking out this store.

Great buying experience! Thanks to Avi and Indar (and Elias too!). Just awesome people all-around. Got the Rolex Daytona I've been looking for. Very convenient location. Fantastic service. Definitely coming back in the future. No wonder it's raining FIVE-STAR reviews on here. Happy to add another one!

Me and my friend went here to pick out a Rolex for her husband. It was a great experience! I've always wanted to know what it was like to wear a Rolex on my wrist and these guys made it memorable. My friend ended up purchasing from them. Great service from very knowledgeable staff.

I needed a Rolex Daytona for my husbands birthday. It was a last minute purchase and Inbar made sure I got the watch the next day before our trip. She was so kind, professional and informative that I will never buy a watch somewhere else like I used to.

The family-led team at A & E is fantastic. I had the pleasure of speaking with and getting to speak to Inbar and her mother, and her husband. Inbar worked with me over several weeks to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I had been looking for a late model Rolex Datejust, with specific attributes, and Inbar made certain that I was 100 % satisfied prior to my desired watch was sent. I 100% recommend this group of experts. They deliver both empathy and value! I only wish I could give them another star!

I bought a pre-owned GMT Master II (Reference #116710) from a large online watch retailer last year (not A&E) and a few months into ownership, the GMT hand was not clicking anymore, I read online that this is a known problem with this specific movement. I stopped by A&E Watches and they took my watch in for repair and also performed a service for the watch at a very reasonable price. I've had my watch back from A&E for just over 2 weeks now and the watch is keeping time perfectly and the GMT Hand is functioning as it should be.

I also stopped by last week to get my bracelet adjusted (something I declined when picking up my watch), and the owner of A&E kindly removed a link for me at no extra charge. Great people and great service from A&E Watches. Highly recommend for any watch repairs.

Always responsive - bought my Rolex from them and have used them from them 30 years ago and have been using them for cleaning and repair ever since. Great work, conscientious.

I can not say enough about A&E. I have purchased 2 Rolex watches from them. Inbar is always a delight to work with. Phone calls are returned promptly, and all questions answered. The prices beat all other dealers. Overnight insured shipping is included. They also bought my Rolex from me, for a great price. I will be doing business again with A&E.

Last Tuesday I was looking to purchase a Rolex Submariner. I finally decided to call A&E Watches. I spoke to Inbar who is a professional, courteous, and friendly lady. I asked her a ton of questions and she answered all of them, no matter how small. She assured me that everything will be ok with nothing to worry about. This Thursday at 10:23 am, I received my luxurious time piece. I bought this to mark a milestone in my life; my 50th birthday. Again, thank you Inbar & Team for the excellent customer service!

Last Tuesday I went browsing online to purchase a Submariner; I checked 10 places online. I came across A&E Watches, spoke to Inbar and asked her a lot of questions about purchasing this high-dollar time piece. She assured me that everything will be fine. This Thursday morning (less than 48 hours later), I received my dream watch. I even got a cool Rolex hat to go with it.

If I'm ever in the Bay area, I will make it a point to drop in and say hi. Again, thank you Inbar & Team for making this purchase worry & hassle-free. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back. Semper Fidelis.

Very classy despite awesome pricing! I needed a quick repair and resizing for my watch band and they had me done and on my way in minutes. I didn't have a go to watch place until today but I will definitely be going back. Elijah showed me some cool stuff I didn't even know my watch could do and Olga made sure my experience was great the whole time. I will be going back to give them business next time I need anything watch related. Definitely recommend giving them a shot.

Two months ago I found this dealer online. After finding my perfect Rolex Submariner w/Serti dial, I phoned A&E with a few questions. I spoke with Inbar. She was knowledgeable and very patient. I'm sure she routinely gets asked the same questions. Let's face it, it's tough buying a luxury watch sight unseen. I narrowed my choice to two watches. She sent videos of both.

I decided on one and spoke with her again to finalize price and payment details. They received the funds today and she quickly agreed to have the watch shipped today. Excellent customer service so far from start to hopefully unboxing. I'll keep you posted! I'm beyond thrilled. So my watch arrived and it was gorgeous but I was but unfortunately I found two cosmetic issues. First, there was a dent in one of the gold links in the backside of the watch. Second, the date seemed to be blocked by the gold frame.

I noticed that the first digit of two digit dates were cut off. I spoke with Avi and he acknowledged my concerns and assured me that he would make it right. I asked him if he could service another watch and to let me know the cost. So I sent in both watches via prepaid return shipping that they of course arranged. As promised, both issues with my new Rolex were resolved and Avi did a complimentary service on my Ebel! Seriously terrific customer service!

First time buyer here! This place offers top class service. Olga was very helpful throughout the buying process. They also had a lot of different options with a mix of vintage and modern to see the differences. Their team was very knowledgeable and offer a very fair warranty! Thank you to Olga and the entire A&E team!
