Anyone have experience with used Rolexes on TheRealReal.com

I've used therealreal.com many times before for clothing with positive results. Was just wondering if anyone ever bought a Rolex from them and what your experience was like?

I find it odd that most of their watches look like they were dug out of a garden. I started to wonder if it's their lighting that causes the dirty look with photos, as i find it hard to believe that almost every watch, even less than 10 years old, has some kind of black grime on it (and that could not be washed out for the photos?!)

here's an example
https://www.therealreal.com/products...ffI?position=1

I did a search on topic, but last post was 2 years ago, figured their could maybe be more experiences since then

I would never deal with a website that forced me to sign up.

the site itself is legit, but they make it "member" based for marketing purposes i guess (though you can opt out). but ya dont register just to check, just asking for any members who may already have used the site

You sir hit the nail on the head. I found that to be rather annoying when I visited the site in the past. Pass all together on that brand.

Ya, I hate those sites that force you to sign up before you can use them.

Seems like they don't want customers because they scare them away by forcing them to sign up. No thanks, and what a bunch of morons...
