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.

Thanks Abdullah

I'm sorry, but i cant agree. I've been a very happy customer 2x.

Their web site was the first site to publish both the "buy" and "sell" prices right there in plain view. They don't hide anything. They also have a 4.8 star rating on over 2400 real customer reviews here at ekomi. Google it.
There are a few 1 start reviews but they weren't very relevant.

Buy Prices: the watch i bought was priced at or below everyone else. The Sub was priced right about the same as David SW - $8295. David SW is at $8275. Only a $20 difference. But they have a great reputation and sell hundreds of watches every month despite how they unfairly get beat up here. I also like the fact that the watch they display is in stock.

Sell Prices: The were pretty straightforward with me on my trade in as well. I knew it was an Up To price: The form says it, the email offer said it, and the Rep on the phone stated it as well. They post it right here on their site for those who care to read: see sell form terms and conditions. Link on sell Rolex page.

I'm just chiming in here with my own personal experience. Just my humble opinion.
