Bob's Watches review

Bob's Watches is the specialist pick for watch owners, above all Rolex owners. Its sell page promises a guaranteed offer, free insured shipping and same-day payment, and says most sellers receive funds within 48 to 72 hours: one day for the quote, one for shipping, and payment on inspection. The preliminary quote comes the same business day. For sellers who would rather wait for a higher price, the consignor terms set a standard commission of 15% of the selling price and a 180-day consignment period. Bob's Watches also buys OMEGA, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Tudor and other brands. The limits are clear: it handles watches only, the final offer can drop if inspection finds condition problems, missing links or aftermarket parts, and buyers get a 3-day refund window on unworn, unaltered watches with all boxes and papers. We compared documented terms, not hands-on sales.
