Comment: While on a trip to La Jolla, I brought my 16 year old Panerai to CJ Charles for service. I brought the watch in without a box, just off my wrist. Yesterday, it was FedExd (overnight) to me in a nice blue velvet box with the receipt. Surprised about the box and very pleased with the service.

Comment: I purchased a very difficult to find Cartier timepiece with CJ Charles Jewelers just about a week ago. I had some expert help from Jonathan Halberg who magically located the watch and shipped it to me here in Chicago just in time for the Holidays. The watch was a fun gift for my wife, and she was thrilled! So thanks, Jon and thanks CJ Charles! Highly recommend!

Comment: A wonderful watch-buying experience. I was helped Belinda, who was an absolute joy to work with. She and everyone at C.J. Charles were incredibly accommodating, were not at all pushy, and were clearly knowledgeable and passionate about watches. It made for a very laid back and fun experience. It’s always gratifying to purchase a watch from people who love them as much as you do.

Comment: Overall a VERY positive experience. I had the pleasure of working with Arielle. Extremely professional, made a connection, and kept in touch as she kept working to track down the time piece I was looking for. Her follow up and follow thru was amazing. I visited the IWC boutique from out of town so after my initial visit the entire process to acquire the piece was done remotely. First time I had done this, and Arielle guided me thru the entire experience seamlessly. Thank you! I am thrilled with my new time piece.

Comment: Had a wonderful experience shopping for a new watch. Came into the IWC boutique in La Jolla and was instantly greeted by Arielle. She walked me through multiple options before selecting one that best fit my needs. Unfortunately the selected watch was not available at her storefront so she searched for an available unit nearby. Once located, she had the watch placed in reserve for me to be picked up at the UTC store.The overall process was very smooth and CJ Charles took the time to ensure I was satisfied at all turns. I will definitely be returning for my next watch.Jim Blubaugh

Comment: In my quest for a new Cartier watch I had the good fortune of contacting CJ Charles Jewelers and speaking with Esteban Garcia. He informed me the watch I was interested in was not available but should be in 2-4 weeks. As the watch was still not available after a month I made an appointment with Esteban to look at the Cartier watches currently in stock. At no point was there any pressure to make a purchase and so I had the luxury of taking my time to consider all models. I ended up falling in love with the Panthere De Cartier which I had not initially considered. Most importantly the watch was fitted perfectly and I was given thorough instruction on working with the clasp as my existing Cartier watch is the Tank model with a strap. This was such a lovely experience I wanted to take the time to thank Esteban and CJ Charles Jewelers. And thank you for the beautiful gift you included of a Cartier candle!

Comment: Had a great experience with CJ Charles Jewelers, specifically Belinda. Belinda is extremely knowledgeable, quick-witted, and pays attention to detail. I had been referred to this Jeweler because of my Cartier watch. When I initially met Belinda I was impressed by how much she knew about the overall piece, the mechanisms, and operations. Likewise, she actually took the time and patience to address all my questions in detail. She definitely knows her craft and would truly recommend her and staff to anyone looking for quality pieces of watches and jewelry. Thanks again for everything, much appreciated!

Comment: Can’t say enough nice things about the gentlemen at CJ Charles Jewelers! The clasp on my Cartier watch band would not stay shut. I had wrapped a bandaid around the clasp so I could wear my watch. Not the chicest of solutions. I happened to be walking by the store and decided to stop in to see if they could be of assistance. I was created immediately and explained my situation. One of the two gentlemen said they would see what they could, took my watch to the back and two minutes later returned with the clasp working perfectly. They would not accept any payment for their services. This kind of customer service and kindness is difficult if not impossible to find these days. Please go see the guys at CJ Charles Jewelers for all your watch needs!

Comment: What a fabulous Panerai Presentation! Sheer elegance and still inviting and comfortable. Combined with one of the nicest, most empathetic sales associate I’ve ever met, and I’ve been in watch boutiques all over the world. Esteban took time to get to know me and my wife. Appreciated the elegant Ulysse Nardin I was wearing and clearly knows his watches. Then I felt so invited that I sat down and went exploring with him. Best of all, the boutique had the Panerai Luminor Chronograph with the white dial that just blew me away. We went walking after that and my wife said, “you should buy a watch from Esteban.” That blew me away almost more than the watch!! LOL. So I did!

Comment: I wanted to buy my husband a watch for his 50th. This was my first stop on my hunt for the perfect timepiece - and it could have been my only stop. I went to multiple stores, met with multiple people, and in the end Esteban at CJ provided the best options, the best service, and of course the best watch! Esteban was a pleasure to work with - he is professional, friendly, helpful. No high pressure sales. He worked with me in-person, through text, and over the phone to answer my many questions and make sure my husband was 100% happy with his new Panerai!

Comment: I was debating purchasing a new watch to celebrate a professional milestone. Esteban assisted me with trying different variations of the Santos de Cartier. I was very careful in my consideration so as not to make a rushed decision. Estebans friendly approach and professionalism ultimately led to my decision to purchase. I could not be happier with the service I received and my decision to buy. Highly recommend this place!

Comment: On a recent visit to the San Diego area, my wife and I stopped into the UTC location to briefly browse their watch selection. Long story short, I purchased an IWC Big Pilot 43 in blue from Esteban. I couldnt be more satisfied with the professionalism and service we received from him. As a topper, he included the brown leather watch strap as a gift... Such wonderful service.

I was interested in a particular watch and he answered my questions and set up a time for me to come into the store. I did end up purchasing a watch and he also has continued to take care of ordering another Watch strap for me, as well as making sure I am informed comfortable with my transactions. I would shop at CJ Charles again.

Comment: Worked closely with Esteben Garcia on a recent watch purchase. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the brands CJ Charles carried in the boutique and very flexible, helpful in terms of finding a watch that aligned to all of my key requirements. I was particularly impressed by his focus on creating a long-term relationship versus just doing a transaction. Beyond the great customer service that Esteben brought to the table, I was impressed with the boutique itself which had been recently remodeled. If youre a watch guy or girl and in the La Jolla, CA area, Id strongly recommend swinging by to see their boutique and collection.

There was a delay in getting a second band for the watch, he kept me up-to-date with what was happening with texts and phone calls, then checked with me to make sure I had received it. Great service!

Comment: It was an absolute pleasure dealing with CJ Charles. Esteban provided exceptional service, driving to another location at the last minute and overnighting the item that I purchased for Saturday delivery. The item arrived as represented and I couldnt be happier. I am looking forward to my next purchase with Esteban and his team, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for the kind of service that is hard to find elsewhere. Thumbs up for five star service from start to finish!

Comment: Antonela plays her role up to the highest standards. She is well prepared for the job and demonstrates a positive attitude by giving helpful explanations and advice. Full knowledge of the brand watch Cartier and explained its history since the original model Santos was introduced in 1906 and the new renovation of the model being sold now. In conversing with her she proved to be persuasive without being pushy but exhibiting understanding of the client’s needs and preferences. Her performance showed a pleasant friendly and patient character with precise information and creative replies. Received from her great first class service.

Comment: I knew I wanted to get a reputable watch for my wife but I wasnt sure which brand or model to get so I did some searching online for various brands. With that said, I still wasnt able to finalize my decision until I stumbled across CJ Charles Jewelers and in particular a patient and knowledgeable associate named Antonela.I gave her the general style I was looking for along with my budget range and she presented me with the perfect options. Prior to her assistance I began to get overwhelmed but, honestly she helped me make the best choice that Im sure my wife will love. I have to wait until after Christmas to confirm how she feels about the Cartier Panthere I got her but in the rare event that I missed the mark I know Ill be able to exchange it for a different Cartier model.This place has great prices and some rare time pieces so I definitely will be returning after bonus time.

Comment: Amazing experience! I purchased a Vacheron Constantin watch....all through email and telephone calls. I had the watch shipped across the country, sight unseen. Esteban was amazing, extremely professional and responsive. The watch is gorgeous and was exactly as Esteban described it to me. No high pressure here, just excellent service selling high-end timepieces. Esteban went above and beyond, not only though the sale, but after as well, which is rare these days. I would highly recommend CJ Charles and, specifically Esteban, and will definitely look to them first for all of my future purchases. Thanks CJ Charles and Esteban!

She was absolutely committed to making sure that we were happy and we felt confident with the purchase. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable while in the store and with the purchase, once we made the decision to move forward. Danielle was also super sweet and made sure that we had plenty of water to drink during our visit since it was so hot outside! Both ladies did a great job of making us comfortable and happy during this experience. I would definitely recommend CJ Charles Jewelers and will visit them again when we return to La Jolla! Thank you Antonela for your help with finding this beautiful new watch!

They always make you feel welcome and they don’t pressure customers when your visiting They’re very knowledgable with what they do. I had been visiting CJ jewelers for years now and their employees, particularly Belinda Ramos, provides exemplary customer service and I know the rest of the staff provides great customer service as well. Belinda works with you with your needs and always give professional recommendations when needed or when ask for it. She’s willing to share or educate you with your purchase. It is clear to me that this will be the place I would recommend to my friends and families should they ask a reputable jeweler. Keep up the good work.....

Comment: The sales people were very passionate and informed about the time pieces. They showed me many pieces and pointed out the unique luxury of each piece. I would definitely buy from here when I get the money for a luxury piece.

Comment: Highly recommended! I arranged everything online with them as I ordered a second hand watch from Europe. They offered a nice relatively rare tuxedo dial Datejust on their website. When I was traveling in the US last month they sent it over by FedEx to my holiday address. Communication was always good and clear with quick replies and the price we agreed on was also very fair. Then when I received the watch I noticed straight away a small chip on the crystal edge quiet noticeable close to the Rolex crown. Although a second hand piece from 2005 can of course have its usual marks this bothered me a bit and I walked into a local watch shop in Vegas to get some info about what to do. They knew the people from CJ Charles and the guy immediately picked up the phone to discuss the issue. From thereon it all went super quick. Jonathan from CJ Charles offered straight away to fix the issue and replace the sapphire crystal. They FedExed it up and down for me to have it back several days later with a new sapphire crystal in it. 5-star service!

Comment: I just purchased a watch at CJ Charles. It was another wonderful transaction.The best thing about being a CJ Charles customer is that you feel like the member of an exclusive club. They remember you and your interests and call you by name when you enter the store. They throw the best watch and jewelry-themed holiday parties that bring in experts and unique exhibits from all the top brands. And, the care they take with their customers is matched only by their knowledge. I am a watch fan. CJ Charles is the only store in San Diego County where everyone working at the store is a watch fan as well. Walk in, ask about an obscure watch, and they will know the watch, have a better than normal chance of getting one if it is currently in production, and if it is vintage, know where to get it for you. As for jewelry, I must mention my wife spent years looking for the perfect “right hand” diamond ring. She found it at CJ Charles.I send my friends and family to CJ Charles. You should too.

Comment: I have purchased, traded and sold through consignment several watches at CJ Charles over the last few years. I am continually impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and friendliness of the staff. Although I do most of my business there with Brandon, I am always treated extremely well by all of the staff. My most recent purchase was another fantastic experience. I will continue to go to CJ Charles as my first choice for my watch transactions.

Comment: I have been a client at CJ Charles for nearly 7 years now. Its my go to place for Panerai (located next door at their Boutique), IWC, and now most recently Patek Philippe since they started carrying them a few years back. I have referred many friends and family members to the store, knowing Vahid and his staff work hard to make every experience the best possible. Also, behind their Panerai Boutique is a service center with two watchmakers which can be seen behind glass. Any time I ever had an issue with a watch, Belinda was able to have the issue fixed and shipped out to me in a short amount of time.

Comment: I bought my first watch from them a couple of years ago. Right off the bat they not only gave me the most competitive price, but they were as easy to work with as you can get. Brandon really knows his stuff and unlike other sales persons, will not pressure you nor use shady tactics to get your business. Ive since had several of my friends and family also purchase watches from him and all had same experiences. They go that extra step that leaves such a satisfying impression with the customer. Great prices, great service. I work in the retail industry and you cant ask for more than that. This honestly is not a sponsored review or anything. Just a customer telling it like it is. I highly recommend anyone interested in timepieces to give them a try. Youll likely end up with an AD you can count on.

Comment: I’ve been buying Panerai watches from Brandon and Vahid for the last 7 years and I would never think of taking my business anywhere else. Not only do they treat you like a friend, they treat you like family. These guys are experts in the field. I would give them 5 stars any day, every day.Proud owner of:PAM 88PAM 351PAM 190PAM 424PAM 305PAM 465 #47Next : PAM 233

Comment: I have been a CJ Charles customer for years, dealing primarily with Brandon in the Panerai Boutique, but also with the owner Vihad. The thing that is different about this jeweler and its team, is that they get to know you, your likes and dislikes, with no pressure sales. There lineup of jewelry covers all price points, brands and they also provide first class service on repairs, an important aspect of loyalty. I can recommend this jeweler to anyone who is looking for a watch or jewelry with the highest confidence for a great buying experience.

Comment: I had been looking at watches for years, and prior to purchasing, I had been in stores that weren’t always good experiences. They weren’t welcoming; let alone helpful, whereas CJ Charles was the complete opposite. Brandon was incredibly welcoming and provided superior customer service than any other watch boutique I’d visited. I can’t say enough about how attentive he was/is and the level of his expertise within the industry. He took the time to show me how to set the date, and take care of my watch in a way that exceeded expectations. Everyone else at CJ Charles including Giorgio has just been phenomenal to work with.

Comment: Recently bought a pre owned pam292 which is now discontinued, two days after ownership dropped my new (to me) ceramic watch on ceramic tile and grenaded my bezel. I was freaked out and searched and searched and was pointed here. Belinda Ramos handled everything and was great. Sent me multiple shipping labels as my work schedule is very demanding finally was able to ship my brand new (to me) destroyed timepiece across country to some one I have never seen or met. Had them do full service, crystal and new bezel watch is beautiful and now I am afraid to wear it. At least I know its good for another 5 years unless I drop it again! Thanks Belinda! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Comment: I am a huge watch fan and my wife and I recently went in to purchase a panerai and cartier during christmas. The service and attention to detail was excellent. Vahid and his team truly care about the customer experience and it is evident in all of their team members. I look forward to coming here many times more. If you look for a watch or exclusive jewelry I recommend that you visit CJ Charles in La Jolla first.

Comment: Came in today close to closing time and Vahid took amazing care of me, I had a broken clasp on my necklace and he not only repaired it on the spot but also fixed the clasp on the house! If that doesn’t describe outstanding hospitality I’m not sure what else does. Wonderful business!
