Sant Blanc and Watch Chest on Ebay

[AndreaWKU]

I'm new to the forums, and I'm looking to buy my first Rolex. I really like the Day Dates. I've found a few good deals on eBay, but I know I need to be really careful. Have any of you ever purchased from Sant Blanc or Watch Chest? I have contacted both, and they claim to have 100% authentic Rolex with no aftermarket parts.

Watch Chest and Sant Blanc are associated and are indeed reputable sellers. I purchased an Explorer 2 from them a few years ago.

Never bought from neither but I've read good things about Sant Blanc.

Haven't heard anything about Watch Chest, good or bad.

I recommend Beckertime, in case you are also open to other sellers.

Be aware that Beckertime use aafter market bracelets as a matter of course (which are noted in their ads) so you may wish to look elsewhere if you want one with a genuine bracelet.

I have heard good things about bobswatches

I bought from Beckertime and my watch has a genuine bracelet.

Bob's is overpriced in my opinion, which is far from that of an expert, though.

Well I'm glad you got a genuine one. Every listing I've seen from them with a stainless steel bracelet (though I admit I haven't checked super regularly) says that they use an after market bracelet.

They are reputable

Yes, most of Beckertime's watches have aftermarket bracelets, but the ads all make that clear. He does have many watches with original bracelets, and the ebay ad will note that.

Trusted Seller on TRF. Check the prices and service and you have the answer.

Bought a Yachtmaster from Watch Chest (Chris Wiley). No problems; a reputable seller.
Slightly better deal buying direct (but with credit card) rather than through ebay.

These guys are the best!!!
I have bought over 8-10 watches from Sant Blanc
Ask for John Todd he is the owner
Tell them Juan Sent you
Good Luck

[jvmartin]

John Todd is a straight up guy... a pleasure to do business with!

I have also bought from Sant Blanc. Buy with confidence

Both are legit, but overpriced...

I like working with Jon. They have given me an ease of mind about my online purchases.

Agree... I got my 118238 in May of this year and after exhausting research, I bought from a trusted seller here (Sale2Day) for about 2k less than Sant Blanc... Not sure about Watch Chest

Reputable sellers, but overpriced (and not just a little).
