“This was my first purchase from Bob’s. Excellent experience overall. I finally was able to get the timepiece I’ve been wanting for several years. I was given my fathers Omega Mark II from the 1970’s. I had been wanting the coaxial since I first saw it. The watch was perfect, just as described. Shipping was also faster than I expected. Thank you for the excellent experience.”
