Besides Bobs Watches who Else Buys Rolex?

And is reputable? I have a watch I want to move on with but I’m not particularly fond of Bobs. Any other places like Bobs?

Do you have any ADs or reputable jewelers in your area?

I've tried to become a member for about 6 months now. Not exactly a piece of cake. They assume you're a Chinese/Russian 'bot' unless you're some heavy Facebook user (I don't live my life on social media so hence I "must" be a bot - I guess they don't count LinkedIn )

Here is my list.

Trusted Sellers:
- DavidSW
https://davidsw.com/product-category/watch/rolex/
- Takuya
https://www.takuyawatches.com/product-category/rolex/
- OC Watch
https://www.ocwatchguy.com/
- SD Watch

- Nashville Watch
https://nashvillewatch.com/buy/?filter_brand=rolex
- Tropical
https://tropicalwatch.com/
- Watch Exchange

They are all 100% solid and well regarded here.

I've used Crown & Caliber (now Hodinkee I guess) before for some lower priced watches (e.g., Grand Seiko) when compared to a Rolex. Process is very straight forward, but don't expect a market value. I've seen about 75% of the eventual resell price as a norm, but that only a few data points.

Have reached out to a few trusted sellers which, if I'm being honest, either weren't interested in what I was selling (again, non-rolex models) or who offered less.

Doing the private selling route via the forums has always scared me as well, though honestly not sure why.

I've sold to Tropical Watch, HQMilton (although they have not been responsive lately) and Watchbox. Some places are not buying at the moment though. Last watch I sold was to Watchbox and it was a smooth transaction

Bob’s was considerably higher than anyone else when I sold a Speedmaster DSOTM and Tudor BB36.

They were super fast and easy to work with.

Once you’re done with the deal, can you let us know who offered and who refused — and the model?

I’ve seen lots of talk about the various resellers refusing to buy as of late.

No one is buying
Bob’s will ask you to cosign the watch
