I would keep the sub, save more money for the gmt and just call david SW. Bobs is overpriced

Greetings,
I've bought two pieces from Bob's and both came exactly as described.
While they are not always the cheapest price, they do service their watches, albeit in-house, so that could be a plus.
If you do your research they can be a good outlet.
YMMV,
b.

Bought a GMT Coke from Bob's back in August. Watch had box and papers. However, the clasp didn't match the bracelet and neither was original to the watch. Called back to inquire about getting the correct bracelet/clasp and was told to "enjoy the watch as is." This may not be important to you, but it was to me. Have since sold the watch and bought another Sub.

Bought my 16710 from them a while back. Very happy and I'd buy from them again. Went with Bob's after I couldn't find the specific watch I was looking from through trusted sellers here.

I have done several deals (selling not buying) with them and they are great to work with!

Well played, thats also my everyday. Excellent and beautiful piece.

To OP, gmt is amazing!! No experience with Bobs personally but have had friends purchase with no issues.

Just curious. How did you find out that the bracelet wasn't original to the watch?

I've got a 16610 and can't wait to add a GMT to the wrist. Keep both and shop here.

Hey Joshua....The bracelet was a 78360. The style number on the warranty certificate indicated that it was originally fitted with a 93150. Didn't do my due diligence. Should have checked before the purchase. When I spoke with one of their watchmakers, they took a pretty crappy attitude. It's all good, sold it for what I paid and bought a Sub LV with the proceeds.
