I have bought two Rolex's from Bobs and I have had zero issues. Everything checked out and I was satisfied both times. It's possible something slips through the cracks but overall they have about as good as a reputation as a grey dealer as just about anyone.
Bob's Watches?
Last year I bought a Rolex OP 39mm dark rhodium from Bobs. They are awesome. I called them first and asked all sorts of questions and they were more than happy to answer them ALL. Since I was not financing, I had to wire them the money from my bank. Once they received the funds they sent my watch FedEx overnight, fully insured, and very well packed. The watch arrived and was perfect! I took it to a local jeweler to authenticate and get an appraisal for insurance and that guy also vouched for Bob's! LOL!
