Has anyone dealt with them before? Will really appreciate any comment. They seem to have good selections with competiative prices.

Tuk: They're prices are 'ok'. I would first call the Beverly Hills, BBB and see what their track record is....I looked at their used Presidents and used Explorer II's. On the President's their prices are comptetive, but I don't know where their 'retail prices' are coming from...Disney Land I think. On their Explorer II's they have a 1991 model that they list for $4100...not a good price at all(that would be the price I would expect for a model manufacture in 2000 or newer). So, they may be reputable(have no idea), but I would check them out a little more.
best,

If in doubt, do without!

Never heard of them.

Buy the seller before buying the watch, though, so - as stated - if in doubt, better move on to a reputable seller like Alan Furman.

I go to their site quite a lot to look at watches. Almost bought a AP Navy ROO from them. Despite pointing out a number of errors related to model numbers, pictures, and retail price, nothing was corrected. I opted to shop elsewhere.

While they do list a wide variety of Rolex watches, their prices aren't any better than Furman or Swiss Luxury. Furman has a hard time getting some watches but not Rolex. If that's what you want, I'd try them.

I use their site to look for watches of every kind, they have a pretty broad selection of brands and models and very nice photos, never bought from them and do not know anyone who has, I am very interested as well to hear if anyone has and what experience they had!!!!
Anyone?

They've been around for some time and are fine to buy with. Also, $4100 for a 1991 Explorer II complete with all the correct papers, booklets etc, is not out-of-line at all, the watch is borderline vintage. I'd buy that over any 2000 vintage Explorer any day, any time. It will only go up in value.
