Bob’s Watches

I’ve recently joined TRF and have gained very valuable info and have read and re-read some very interesting threads. I’d like to ask very simply are ALL of Bob’s watches (Rolex) authentic? I recently purchased a DateJust 41mm for myself and my better half has been dropping hints about a particular Rolex that he has for sale. I’d like to surprise her for her Bday on the 19th but want to make sure that he sells authentic. Any experiences or knowledge would be most helpful. Thanks

All bobs watches are authentic, they actually buy and inspect the watches vs consign them. Furthermore, they guarantee for life every individual piece of their watches are authentic which is beyond the norm.

Thank you for the information. That’s what I’ve heard and read but really wanted to hear it from someone else myself. I’ve heard good things regarding purchasing from them although selling to them not so much. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I'm not knocking Bob's at all. Just a reminder that we have trusted sellers here. Might want to spot check with some of them.

I would buy from Bob’s without hesitation. Probably would not sell to them though I did have one sale to them for a fair price. I find their prices consistent with those who have the trusted seller moniker.

No issues with Bob's inventory, just the prices. Look at Chrono24 and enter the information on the watch you are looking at. This should give you a good feel on prices. Then do yourself a favor and contact one of the Trusted Sellers here on TRF. Great prices and service.

Thank you. Under classifieds there are many sellers and some beautiful watches. I will certainly go that way indeed. Some great reviews and feedback here on this forum. Thanks, somehow I overlooked it. Will certainly try and do business here.

I was searching for my watch for a few weeks, and I found the price on my watch NIB various from $11690 all the way to $13500. I also considered pre-owned which had a similar price range. I found bob's was on the low range and I like deals :)

Got my watch from a trusted seller from the classifieds with quite a savings.
