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

From what I have gathered on Ebay some Rolex sellers will put window dressing on a Rolex to gain more money on them. In the Rolex Report, a book it details this trend. Like a puppy mill you turn out the watches out as fast as you can with the most profit. If you look on Ebay look at the watches witt after market dial and bezel this is window dressing. The band they put on is not Rolex so the profits are high. Not all sellers are like this, however I have see alot of window dressing on a watch to make it look good. This makes me wounder what the movement is like also. Take the crystal you can buy a new Rolex one for say $300.00 or a aftermarket one for $30.00, their are fake Rolex band and parts for sale that to someone who is not looking for details can be scammed. A used end piece for a Rolex watch band can go for say 50.00 on Ebay however a fake one can go for 3.00 with bogas marks. That is one way you can get scammed by someone. So it is important you find someone who is trustworthy or you can be buying some aftermarket shiny crap. Do what I do sit back and read the forum and the watch out posts it is interesting what you will learn from them. Take the time to learn about the Rolex watch before you jump into the fire. |

Have you seen usaveontime.com or mvpwatchco.com ?
I have spoken to them a few times and bought 2 pieces from them. They DO NOT "window dress" nor use any aftermarket parts. These are one of the only guys on ebay who dont advertise or stock aftermarket dial,bezel which in my opinion is one of the ONLY way to do it. |

This is Darian from MVPWATCHCO, and yes the story is one-sided. This customer forgot to mention a few things as well. Yes the watches were re-listed and were available, but not at 4pm to be shipped for the very next morning, which he was adamant on needing it as he was going away on a trip. Also, I did go above and beyond to deliver his watches for the very next morning, in which he did receive. In addition, his trade-in watch was adequate, but definitely not 100% and was not needed (especially not with a dial that did not belong on the watch might I add). It was more of a favor to "make the deal happen". This is actually news to me of the "unsatisfactory" transaction. I don't understand why I would receive 2 positive "100% satisfaction" feedbacks for the transactions and then read on this forum of his venting frustrations?? My number/email is still the same, to my knowledge everything was ok. I am not here to say negative things about anyone, but I will defend our companies and reputation. We have been in business for over 12 years, and have always stood behind our product. Anyone is welcome to check out our sites and contact me or Joel and we definitely will take care of you the proper way.

Man do they sell some modified aftermarket-bracelet/aftermarket bezel crap for high dollar... I GUESS just on their reputation alone as the bids always go SKY high on their listings (no offense to anyone who bought one). In fairness, they do state when the bands are not original etc... but for ebay newbies finding the small text isn't always easy and I'm sure they get taken frequently, or without even knowing. I'm not okay with that. |

If I want to take this private? It was private until you made it public. Unlike you, I am not about to discuss this matter on here. I don't think that shows professionalism on your part. If your communication was as good as you say it is, we would've taken care of any problems you may have had. We are always willing to bend over backwards for our customers, but I guess you decided to go a different route. Our very last conversation was you were "100% satisfied", its as simple as that.

Cool it, people. We don't want to shut this thread down or start giving out infraction points for inappropriate behavior.
Play nice, children. No one wants to get spanked.
