Icon2 Bernard Watch

Has anyone dealt with Bernard watch before? What are the general opinions of their watches? Any advice would be helpful.

Very expensive. Supposed to be legit...but can't hold a candle to TRF sellers.

Most watches do not have boxes and papers - if you care.

They often list the "year" of a watch but not the series.

Fun to browse not to buy IMO

I've purchased a couple from Bernard. A few years back their prices were a bit better and some deals could be had. But they always have a great selection to browse.

I bought from them last month. A bit higher in prices. Look for what they leave out of their advertisement listing. and ask a bunch of questions. Look for my very first or second post. It has a bunch of questions I was planning to ask. They do not budge off their prices. I called when purchasing and I got him to throw in free shipping.

I have dealt with Mr Bernard when I was in the market for my Daytona .... Very legit grey market seller. What you see is what you get, their prices are FIRM and he was unwilling to negotiate the "wire" price. I did not purchase from them though.

I just purchased a Rolex from Jeff Bernard directly at his office in Austin, TX.

He's a real stand up guy and the watches are exactly as advertised, if the web site indicates it comes with box and papers it does, no surprises.

I would definitely buy from him again.

I bought my Omega Seamater Professional from Bernard. It was exactly as advertised and I thought the price was very fair. Buy with confidence!

I've dealt with Jeff Bernard, totally legit and straight.

You may get better prices elsewhere, but to me peace of mind is worth the premium.
