Bob's Watches

[fozzyf18]

I purchased a watch from Bob's about 6 years ago. No real issue, watch was as described, but certainly on the higher cost end of similar watches for sale across the major sellers. Watch was about 13 years old when I purchased it, so it had obviously been polished but I had no issue with the job that had been done.

One of the biggest complaints is that Bob's specifically states the size wrist that the watch will fit in the listing. They do not provide additional links for free, they will charge you.

Also, depending on the age of the watch, do not assume that it has been recently serviced unless the listing specifically states it. My watch worked fine for about a year and then felt gritty when winding. Sent it for service and the tech reported that it was pretty much bone dry- it probably had never been serviced in the 13 years prior to my ownership.

Recommend calling them and asking very specific questions if you have concerns, or send an email to get their answer on record.

Lastly, while I am satisfied with my purchase, I do not plan to purchase from Bob's again due to other's experiences that I have read about (and not just here). I'm more informed now than when I made my purchase, and I would bias towards the trusted sellers on this forum and recommend the same to anyone I know who isn't very knowledgeable about watches but looking to purchase.
