Exceeded Expectations
Watch arrived exactly as advertised if not better. The watch looks new and was priced competitively. Upon receiving the watch there were no extra links as I needed it be a tad bigger. Emailed in the AM to inquire about buying an add’l link and received an email shortly after I sent the request notifying me that a complementary link will be sent. Highly recommend Bob’s watches. Stellar service and honest product representation.

Lack of transparency
I am confused how most of you have given this company 4+ stars. My experience with them has been terrible.
The watch I am interested has box, paper and it is a 2024 Omega Snoopy 50th Anniversary model. My simple question was - are you able to inform me if the watch was originally purchased in US or Asia ( meaning grew market )
The answer given from - Andrea Miller who is the purchasing manager is “We buy and sell from the public”.
I pinged again politely asking - Given the box and paper are available, are you able to share where this watch was originally purchased.
No response !!

I very skeptical about buying watches…
I very skeptical about buying watches online, but after doing research, i believed Bobs watches was a legitimate business, so I purchased a breitling superocean. The watch was delivered the next day and watch came as described and was authentic. Probably saved $1600, if I would have bought it brand new, so definitely a great purchase. I would recommend bobs watches to someone who is worried about buying an expensive watch online and they were unsure of the authenticity.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. The hole process was simple and quick. Only thing I would like to see different is more information given about the products. I wasn’t able to tell by the picture how much the item has been polished or that the glass or crystal was replaced. If it wasn’t for the box I would have sent it back for a different one. Just a little more information in the description would go a long way. Over all really love the watch and I’m excited to pass it down.
