Icon7 eBay Reputable Rolex Power Sellers

I am looking to replace a GMT with a Submariner, and interested in sellers on eBay and the discounted prices they offer. Does anyone have eBay Power Sellers they would recommend or stay away from?

Thanks for the help.

Some sellers I was looking at are: Beckertime, watchdoncorlione, u$aveontime, watch_chest, amorris9999

Looking at 18K/SS Rolex Submariner! BLUE DIAL SEL BRACELET16613, if you have one in great condition for sale please let me know.

Some of the sellers in the For Sale section on this site are just as good, if not better than what you will find on eBay!

I would definitely prefer to buy from one of the power sellers on this site. I just bought a Milgauss from DavidSW earlier this week, and I got a tremendous deal and a perfect watch!!! Don't mess with Ebay. There are way too many fishy deals.

Are you saying these guys are not trustworthy or that it is rare to find people this honest in the business? I have purchased 4 watches in the past 2 years from these guys (2 for myself, 1 for my wife, and 1 for my business partner) and I cannot even begin to speak enough praise towards them. Besides the excellent deal I received on each and every single watch, the service provided went above and beyond any expectations going in. Yes I agree there are horror stories on eBay, but do not bash any seller(s) that work hard to maintain their reputation as good as they have. I give my total 100% confidence and trust that they will deliver every time without fail. I am and will be a loyal customer to them for life!

I just bought a Daytona TT from Tina at Highlinetime.com on ebay. Great watch and service. They've been at the same location in Aventura Fl for 25 years and have 1200+ ebay watch transactions with 100% positive feedback. Best regards, Brian

mvpwatch had a new blue faced 2 tone daytona that i really liked. i communicated back and forth for over a month with darian. watch never sold and kept being relisted. i was given a quoted value for my white faced 2 tone 2003-2004 daytona in trade. when i asked about sending my watch to a stranger, i was told that i would have to trust him as all of his past customers have done. i shipped watch. he confirmed arrival but asked questions that made me wonder because he asked things that he could have seen if the watch was in his hands. (it ended up his partner tookdelivery of it)he then gave me a quote for less than i was told i would get in trade even though he confirmed that my watch was 100%. next he tells me that the daytona is gone, even though it was still an active ebay auction. so i looked his inventory over on ebay and made another choice. another not available reply, even though they were still active auctions. in the long run i settled for a new datejust and very slightly used 2 tone sub. when watches arrived the band on the 2 tone sub was damaged and he never replied to my communication. all this was with mvpwatch and the return address on shipping box was usaveontime. my experience was less than favorable.

Glad to hear you got dealt with appropriately via the watch empire. Unfortunately I wasn't... A lot of money for a watch which was blatantly advertised on their other website timeandgems.com as a customized watch was sold to me as a genuine factory rolex. Now I have to pick up the pieces via legal assistance in California. They sold it to me knowing it was not as described, after finding the item on various different websites and eBay it has been found they are blatant frauds with feedback being bumped consistently on eBay via purchases of 50c coupons! Trying to divert my attention to return the watch to an address in hong kong is even more ridiculous. Their feedback is not legitimate just as their businesses integrity or procedures. Stay away from Michael Davidi, Jason Smith and Ernesto Aguilar! You have been warned...

Most of the watches from the Watchout! section are in regards to Ebay. Regardless of their "powerseller" status.....get to know the seller first. Even if it's a friendly; "How do you do." You're buying the seller, not the watch!

Hi and welcome

There's some good advice here

To avoid worry and heartbreak, forget Flea-Bay (sorry not dissing legit sellers) it's not a place for learners, try the For Sale Section here

His prices are astronomical, but he seems like a good guy, takes clear, quality photographs and always has well... "top notch" inventory withOUT "window dressing". I try to model my Ebay listings after him.

EliteTime on eBay is legit. Gagan and Harry.

They are on ebay with two offices in NY and Boston.

I insisted upon checking the watch out first. I also insisted upon an inspection by a Rolex service center. They've been on eBay for years and they've got legitimate store fronts, and they were willing to go along with this.

Personally, I would have never bought a Rolex off the internet. Not without seeing it first.

That said, DavidSW has a good rep.

Again, personally, the only way I would ever pay for a watch before seeing it would be:

A: a seller with a great rep.
B: it is described as absolutely perfect.

I would like to say watch_chest did me right on my last Rolex. With a 3 year warranty. Has a AWCI CW21 certified Rolex tech there as well in Branson Missouri. Also Pay with pay pal cause they have a free purchase protection policy that covers the whole price. Cant get that on TZ.
