Customer Service Is Our Main Mission

"Unlike many companies in search of maximizing a profit, our primary goal at Bob’s Watches is to create a trusted source to buy and sell pre-owned Rolex watches. Ensuring a positive experience for you is our primary mission. Located in Newport Beach, CA, we are the largest and most trusted source to buy or sell a Rolex." - Paul Altieri
All of our certified, authentic Rolex watches have been carefully serviced and restored to mint condition. And while our business has grown rapidly over the past years, we hold strong to our commitment of offering the highest quality customer service. Bob’s Watches is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.

The Pre-Owned Rolex Exchange

Buyers

All buyers are looking to purchase a genuine Rolex from a trusted reseller at the best price. To that end, we encourage our buyers to shop us on Google shopping to discover how good our pricing really is.

Sellers

Rolex Sellers have just one simple goal: to receive a fair price for their watch from a trusted buyer who will pay them in a timely manner. Since we post our buy and sell prices openly on the site, sellers can be assured they are getting full market value. Payment is wired the same day.


Mission Statement & Service Culture

Admired but not easily replicated, Bob’s is firmly grounded in our founding principles – in who we are and what our mission is. Our goals and principles are guided by our devotion to creating the most trusted name in Pre-owned Rolex watches. Bob’s Watches has two locations in Naples, Florida ( Headquarters ) and 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. Dealers, collectors, and consumers use its published "Rolex pricing guide" to obtain accurate values. The market now changes much more frequently as global supply and demand forces move markets similar to the stock exchange. With Bob's, its always been about honesty through transparent pricing.
