Our goals and principles are guided by our devotion to creating the most trusted name in Pre-owned Rolex watches. Bob’s Watches is based in Newport Beach, California. The Company has built its reputation over the years as being the "Kelly Blue" book for used Rolex prices. To date, Bob's is the only company that lists both the buy and sell price for every model so consumers can rest assured they are getting the best prices.
