If you are interested in a particular watch just start a thread with the link to the ebay watch you want. Usually in the forum they will recommend you not to but from ebay unless you really know what you are looking for.

Just post the link to the watch you want and I'm certain people will pitch in very soon.

Why post twice asking about the same seller?

Unless you really know Rolex and all the details (how to tell real from partial fake or full fake), I personally would avoid eBay.

If you are a beginner, I would stay on this site and learn, and then buy from one of our (TRF) sellers, who are trustworthy. Contact one and tell him your budget and what you want.

But if you don;t care if you end up with a fake, by all means buy off auction houses. Most auction houses do sell a few genuine Rolexes, but you need knowledge to tell them from the fakes OR have trust in the seller.

Bob's Watches is reputable (I bought a watch from them). You'll pay for one from there. HQ Milton is reliable. You'll pay for one from them, too. Swiss Wrist is reliable, as well. Again, used watches but not cheap.

I bought a Tudor Submariner from eBay but I wouldn't even attempt to buy a used Rolex there. I've been reading here for a month and no way I know even 1% about what's being discussed.

1st one, congrats but..

I know you may go with Bob's, but I'd always take the Rolex to an AD just to make sure.
