They once were so gracious to offer me 3k for a 10,000 5512, I laughted and told them to pound sand. It sold on TRF for over 10k.
Most watch dalers are like that. They give next to nothing for a trade in and then end up making a great profit on not only your watch, but the watch they trade to you. It just boils down to greed.

That there is a royal screw. I too get it that everyone needs to make money and that they are no exception. And when they said $1900 I assumed that they would get it at that, spend a few bucks to get it perfect and re-sell at $3000 like the ones on their site for sale. In at about $2100-$2200, sell for $2900-$3000, that is a good margin, 40%. I was in management in the car business and retail management for years so I understand fully the buy at wholesale sell at retail concept but sheesh.
Bob's did say it was still running right about Rolex standards. Not sure if it was the +/-2 or the old standard but I will find out.
