Mission Statement & Service Culture
Admired but not easily replicated, Bob’s is firmly grounded in our founding principles – in who we are and what our mission is. Our goals and principles are guided by our devotion to creating the most trusted name in Pre-owned Rolex watches. Bob’s Watches has two locations in Naples, Florida ( Headquarters ) and Newport Beach, California. The Company has built its reputation over the years as being the “Kelly Blue” book for used Rolex prices. To date, Bob’s is the only company that lists both the buy and sell price for every model so consumers can rest assured they are getting the best prices. Dealers, collectors, and consumers use its published “Rolex pricing guide” to obtain accurate values. The market now changes much more frequently as global supply and demand forces move markets similar to the stock exchange. With Bob’s, its always been about honesty through transparent pricing.
