Rolex platinum 228206 on eBay , low price, how can it bay? BlueWatchVault ?
Granted it is not new, looks like legitimate seller, makes me feel like I overpaid for my BNIB one, and I got the lowest price around for BNIB have not seen lower. Anyone know anything about BlueWatchVault ? Anyone buy from them before?
$35K or best offer? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Day-Da...sAAOSwYmZXDmZ7 ![]() |

not sure why this is a watchout thread topic; and i don't see anything wrong with that price either. seller is aggressive and just not being greedy. (its also a tough watch to sell used)

WatchOut is not necessarily for "I got scammed" - also for, what do you think? Have you ever done business with this seller before?
Look there's a long thread on for example Bob's Watches, seeking advice and references. |

I have not heard of them but that is a pretty aggressive price.

Both on Ebay and on their web site, there seem to be missing info on their address.
http://bluewatchvault.com/about-us . Only clue is they are located at Newport Beach ,CA. ![]() |

I've been to the place before it's a legit store.

No brick and mortar watch dealer I know of in Newport Beach sells watches at low prices. Not saying they all gouge but I haven't come across any bargains in Newport Beach and none has a "guaranteed lowest price" policy like this place.

I bought a 16600 from them last year. 100% legit, and the price was great...

The price is not 35k but 42500$, I can get a Datejust in pt brand new for 30k euros, don't know the difference in price with the day date but I am not shocked at 42500. And yes this section is for when there is clearly something wrong, a low price shouldn't enter this category, this should be on the normal Rolex section, not here

Actually, when the OP posted it, the price was in fact $35k OBO.
They initially had two available (the pre-owned one @ $35k OBO, and a new one @ $42k+). So, it would seem they sold the new one, and have now increased the price on the used one. ![]() |

I asked them about a 18k Sub #116618, Blue face. That was 3 days ago, I have not heard back.
There does not seem to be much information about a physical location. Maybe I missed it? Guess I will keep looking. |

Business have operating expenses. Sometimes there might be a budget shortfall which results in some agressive low pricing. Sometimes emergencies might arise that cause the need to liquidate some inventory at a low margin or even at a loss. Other times, a seller may be fed up with trying to sell a watch and feels like it will never sell, so the price gets dropped significantly. Lots of reasons behind the scenes can cause extraordinarily good deals from time to time.

I agree with what Tim just said. Lots of variables- I've seen sellers that are typically overpriced have a notably good deal on a piece. They buy a piece from someone at a notably low price and sell it for less than normal etc.
My memory is a little foggy but JazTime and Bluevault may be one in the same. I've seen this before where a company has two shingles. On another note, I've seen watches on Crown & Caliber that are on Capetown sites. Both companies are in Atlanta but C&C was clearly selling the same watch using Capetown's pictures. I don't know the relation between the two. |

Jaz Time and BlueWatchVault are indeed the same company. Price may be low because they are in it for cheap and simply want to turn and burn...
