124060 purchase

Hello all

Thank you for the warm welcome to the forum!

I have a few questions prior to my purchase of a new sub, and would greatly appreciate your feedback before I pull the trigger.

I live in an area where the closest AD is 3+ hrs away and requires in person visits to be considered as a future customer. I understand and respect this due to todays watch market.

I am going to go grey, like I have in the past, for the purchase of my new sub.

I have a great, friendly relationship with a rep at Joma. My explorer came from there, there were a few slight hiccups along the way with the manual not included in the full set, and a small scratch on the watch case that I was compensated for… but all in all the watch looks and feels legit, as do the accessories including the newer style card with NFC.

Given how incredibly far replicas/1:1s have come… there’s always that pit in my stomach even with a great, well known gray dealer, that something could be off.

I could be overthinking this because of how much liability this would put on the gray dealer if they did in fact ever supply a customer a piece that was a replica at well over MSRP.

With all that being said, what are your thoughts on buying Rolexes from Joma?

Can anyone share their person experience with them, and possibly having a watch serviced after by an AD/RSC?

Thank you!

I thought the watched from Joma come without certificate/papers? Or is it just specific brands?

I've never purchased a Rolex from them, but I got my Omega AT and two Tissot with no problems at all and legit. You should be good.

He has the watch for $15,475.00 new full set. I understand that people want the full set, that's around $2200.00 more than Joma. I know everyone says he's a great person and easy to do business with, but I would go with Joma. They backup all their products and are a major store. JMHO.

So many great, trusted sellers here.

If I were choosing to go grey, I’d look to the sellers here and who support this forum

You should be just fine I wouldn’t worry. I also would not fret about stickers as most ADs are going to remove them at point of sale. Not worth paying 1000 more for one with them. If you deal with someone with a valuable reputation you’re best off.

Rep at Joma hasn’t steered me wrong. My biggest concern was just buying from a massive gray dealer like them, and the fear of down the road having service and being told something was funky about the watch.

From what I’ve read, Joma has never given people a reason to think any of their items are not fully authentic. My 224270 From them appears to be 100% legit, full set, box, card… everything. I just know how good the clones are now, so I wanted to get everyone’s input! Thanks all! Feel free to keep your experiences coming
