Does anybody know these people?
Are they genuine sellers?
Thanks :)

Too much bad word of mouth for my taste...

(I will not propagate comments I can't possibly verify.)

Summation: Negative vibe.

I do not know them personally, however they are located near me here in Florida. According to their website (and Ebay), Jeffrey Hess of Hess Fine Arts co-authored with James Dowling - The Best of Time:Rolex Wristwatches, An Unauthorized History

I would think that he would know and sell only authentic Rolexes

They currently have a new 16610 Submariner M Serial # with CRB listed on eBay

Their credentials are great, but I remember reading a couple of unsatisfied comments a while back.

Not saying I wouldn't do business with them, but ensure you do your homework and check out the watch thoroughly.

Selling so many watches, you would expect 100%, but sometimes one will sneak through the system, just make sure 'the one' is not yours.

definitly safe

I have known the hess' and dealt with them for about 5 years,they are very informed, helpfull,a bit aloof-but a highly credible seller none-the-less!
I would recommend them to anyone.
I take every watch I buy to them to check it out and they sometimes do the work without charge and they are very active in the ebay community and here in st.petersburgs buisness community.
hope this helps.
