Excellent condition!
I ordered this product late on a Thursday evening and it was delivered before noon on Saturday morning. The watch was in better condition than I anticipated and all parts were period correct. The crystal was a replacement crystal and hands were also replaced somewhere along the way as they were the only parts that had lume. the tritium on the hour indices has long since expired so for the hands to shine brightly, they were likely replaced - I'm good with this as the watch is much more practical as a result. If the watch wasn't clearly from the mid 80s based on a different case design (brushed lug hoods versus current day polished), I would think this was a relatively recent production piece. The bracelet has almost no sag and the clasp buckles tightly. Very happy with this purchase and experience
great condition as noted on website very happy
Everything is a pro. This is my 3rd Rolex from Bob’s wouldn’t buy from anywhere else.
Price was amazing, service was outstanding. Watch was amazing condition as it was described.
Gorgeous watch, looks and runs like new. Very happy with my purchase at Bobs.
Beyond excellent condition, flawless and worthy of the name, presidential. The process was seamless, transparent and personal which really made buying rolex more of an experience since I actually went in person. Great customer service and they want you to make the right decision for you!
What a terrific group of people. Just outstanding. Incredibly helpful and patient. The time piece is exquisite. Bob’s business model is great for both the buyer and seller. Thank you so much.
This is the second Rolex I have purchased from Bob’s and the both watches were exactly as described. My most recent purchase was in my hands in less than 24 hours. Great price for such a beautiful watch.
