I've checked their website and they have tons of watches. I also wondered about their reputation and checked watchnet's good guys section. There were a couple of positive references. I've never personally dealt with them though.

I've been tracking them for a couple of years. They're 100% legit, offer good products, but are a bit on the spendy side. I'd have no problem buying from them if they had the watch I wanted at a price we could agree on.

I've never purchase from them, but I know people who do. They're legit.

How can they be legit if they sell new Rolexes on the internet? Rolex AD can only sell in brick and mortar stores at full retail price. If one buys a watch from them will Rolex service it?

Legit as in they are a real business entity and deliver the products they offer, just as any other good gray dealer does. They're not a Rolex AD, nor do they portray themselves as such. Watches sold by them will not have the original manufacturer's warranty, but they offer their own in-house warranty. Rolex will service a watch purchased there, but at the customer's expense.

A bit more about their founder:

Joe DeMesy has acted as a price consultant to both dealers and major auction houses alike, and is a founding member of the International Watch & Jewelry Guild, an associate member of Sothebys.com, a member of the Jewelers Board of Trade, and a lifetime member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors.
