I bought my 1200 theadcount CalKing bedsheets from the "O".

Would never consider purchasing a Rolex.

Exp II's for $4.5K that are 20 years old (based on bracelet clasp). They do not give series (age) and pictures are a joke.

When I was hunting for a watch last year I checked them out. I actually called them and said 'hey, am I getting a 10 year old watch, a 15 year old watch...what am I buying exactly?' Of course, they were clueless. Needless to say I didn't buy from them. Just not enough info or a pic of the actual watch for sale to make any type of informed decision.

IMHO, TRF members are savvy enough to notice O.co prices are 10-20% above what good sellers here would offer.

I'd stay way from overstocked unless I was looking for last years Timex Ironman or bedsheets.

The scary thing, to me, is that they have a couple of REALLY high priced watches, including an $88k IWC. I can see buying an Invicta there, but an IWC Men's Portuguese Tourbillon Mystery Limited Edition Watch??

They had a JLC master world geo once for just under $8k which was about 40% off at the time. I seriously considered it but decided the dial was too busy. The watch was off the site a couple of days later.

However, when I noticed their Rolex, they all looked to be $1,000+ high. Also, poor pix and description.

Admittedly, I have no experience purchasing a Rolex. My husband is about to retire from the military and I would like to buy him one as a retirement gift but can't affor10/20K that I am seeing on AD sites. When I looked on overstock, they had several in the 4-6K range. I see that overstock is not a good option based on several aspects listed on this forum, is there somewhere else I could purchase a Rolex in the 4-6K range?
Thank you,

Thank you,
I think many will recommend DavidSW.com or someone from the classified listings here!
