I have actually been to A and E's brick and mortar store in San Francisco. The owner and the staff were all real nice people. They had tons of used Rolex. Thier bread and butter though is used Rolex with after market dials and bezels.
I looked at and almost bought a used SS/YG DJ with an after market diamond bezel (I know, what was I thinking!?) The price was right, and the watch was nice. I told him that I would go have lunch which I did. I came back and declined to buy it. He then discounted the watch substantially and asked me what he had to do to make the sale. So, go in person and negotiate. They are legit and offer nice used Rolex. The building they are in is secured, so you will have to get a pass from securtity when you get there to enter. No big deal. I ended up buying a new WG/SS DJ with a diamond dial at my AD instead. |

Welcome,
I also have used A and E Watches via an internet purchase. Very dependable and reliable. I would buy from them again. If KansaiVet likes them, they are okay.

Welcome to TRF!
Never dealt with either of them, but as far as I have heard and read, the A and E are reliable sellers. I don't know that other seller, though.
