Bob's watches???

I am looking for a pre owned sub. Anyone has any experience with them? I don't trust those online reviews, I would like to see if anyone has live experience with them.

I've not purchased from them but they are legitimate. You have no worries about fakes from what I have heard. I would be more worried about your pocket book. I would recommend a trusted seller like davidsw or takuya over bobswatches.

I bought two watches from them last year as gifts (1601 and 6917). Watches were exactly as described and delivered next day by FedEx. They arrived day and time set.

The 1601 I bought for my dad stopped working about four months later. Dad mailed it to them, they replaced the mainspring, and sent it back all FOC under their in house warranty.

Expect to pay more than with a "trusted seller". They have a brick and mortar store with employees (including a watchmaker) and their prices reflect that. Pricing is similar to Govberg (another good option).

Did you purchase those 2 watches from Bob's or "trusted seller" here?

100% legit. I have been to their physical location and know several people that have purchased from them without issue. Like others have said, they don't have the best pricing. However, I don't feel they are insanely higher than the trusted sellers here and you have no doubt you are getting an authentic piece. Very well run and established company.

There 100% legit. They will answer any question and sell the watch as they describe it.

Only problem with them is pricing. I would say there around 1k-1.5k average overpriced from many other examples of the same watch from trusted sellers i know.
