Yan's Antique Jewelry Inc.

My wife found her first nice watch. The store is very crowded, like other reviews mention,but that's definitely part of the fun and we never felt rushed. Yan and her family were so nice and helpful - happy to pull anything we wanted to look at, answer questions, and were reasonable negotiators. There's definitely quite a stock of watches at all price points, but there are lots of hidden gems if you have the right eye. So pleased with our purchase.

I’ve been buying vintage watches since 1979, and shopping here was one of the best experiences I can recall. The selection of quality vintage pieces is extensive, and the prices in line with the retail marketplace. Most importantly Yan allows you to handle and inspect / ask as many questions as you’d like before you decide to buy, or to pass. Without making you feel as if you are wasting her time. My last visit was spur of the moment and I bought a beautiful vintage Waldan watch. Looking forward to my next visit ASAP.

I had a great experience buying a submariner here. Yan was willing to show me the movement and place the watch on the time grapher for me. I can vouch for the authenticity of their high end watches here. Very pleased and will be back in the future. BTW most of the poor reviews here are from people who have no idea what they are buying and only showed up to this store because they saw it on tiktok or instagram.

Longtime visitor, recent first-time buyer. Picked up an Omega 166.002 that caught my eye in the display and was in great condition. My experience with Yan was overall very pleasant. I felt like I could have stayed there all day contemplating my decisions and wouldn’t have been rushed at all, there’s really no pressure to buy anything felt here outside of how crowded and stuffy it can get. I think they charge quite a bit for their watches (close to double compared to eBay/online sometimes), but I do think it’s worth the cost given that their watches come serviced and with a 3-month service warranty. Yes, I can always get one online, but the condition, movement, and service costs might make the potential savings moot. As far as I can tell, everything looks legitimate, and Yan and her father took the time to open the watch and show me the parts/movement. Omega is running +3 spd (within COSC specs, very good!), and parts seem original. They’re quite knowledgeable and will take the time to answer questions, and I think their warranty period is quite generous for an antique watch shop!

First of all, just know that youre coming here FOR THE EXPERIENCE. It’s a very VERY tiny shop and gets super crowded. Brutal during the summer. For the $30-100 watches, just be aware of what you’re looking at. Good thing I did my research and saw they had super cheap watches there for a high price. Definitely some from temu/aliexpress. So I only kept my eye out for Seiko (made it japan) watches. Even those are still only worth about $30 online. I spent 99 EACH on two seiko watches. I had a feeling they probably weren’t worth that much, but it was so hectic in there. I really didn’t have time to research or stand around. Plus that specific $30-100 glass case can only be opened halfway and about 2 ppl can look at a time. There’s always someone there keeping an eye and helping you. Just remember that it’s hectic and busy. I do somewhat regret buying two watches but at least theyre cute I guess. Lol. It’s a cool experience to visit at least once.
