They guarantee their watches to be 100% genuine Rolex ( unlike some others ) and their prices are fairly priced at market. And they ship immediately so they have the actual watch in stock. You never know what you are getting from some other smaller dealers or on ebay. Price is important but getting a 100% genuine Rolex is more so. Consequently, I wasn’t really comfortable dealing with a smaller independent private person and wanted the assurance of dealing with a larger reputable company on such a large purchase.

Buying from Bob’s isn’t risky, but they are priced higher than other trustworthy sellers. Typically about 10% higher. Not crazy high, but better options are out there.

Selling to Bob’s is the problem. They consistently offer much less for your watch than advertised on their site, or discuss on the phone. They 100% know they will polish and have a watchmaker check the watch, but don’t include those costs in their initial estimate.

Any business is going to offer wholesale pricing. But the other sellers are more upfront with issues that deduct from the buy price. Many people feel that Bob’s buying practices are deceptive.
