My brother in law bought a Rolex Daytona a few months back. I think he paid around $15k. It’s a very nice watch. I tried it on. I definitely felt and saw the quality of it regardless of the Rolex name recognition and expectations.
That being said, I wouldn’t spend the money on it. I know Rolex’s heritage, craftsmanship, etc. If I had the choice between given that or a Moonwatch, and I couldn’t sell either one, I’d take the Moonwatch any day.
And I don’t know what it is, but with very few exceptions I think the higher end to the highest end watches are ugly. I saw more than my fair share of them in stores and in the wild while living in Westchester County, NY and Greenwich, CT.
I’ve lurked on Jomashop’s site on and off for a few years. I finally bought a watch from them last week. Glycine Combat 6 Vintage auto for $249.99, plus 10% off.
At the time I thought maybe I should wait until Black Friday or cyber Monday, because they’d most likely have a better price. Pulled the trigger anyway because they claimed limit stock. The Black Friday and cyber Monday price - $284.05 lol. I was looking at a few other Glycine, Tissot, Hamilton and Mido watches too. Many of the ones I was looking at are more expensive now than when I was initially looking at them. A few are the same price.
Don’t fall for “sales.” If you want it now, get it now by all means. But don’t snatch it up thinking it’ll never be cheaper.
All that being said, people have had complaints about them. They’ve pretty much all been customer service related. Issues with the shipper messing up and Jomashop immediately washes their hands of it, their in-house warranty being bad, things taking way too long to ship, etc. They’re selling genuine stuff, not fakes. If you’re buying from them, make sure it’s in stock and doesn’t say “ships in X days.”
I didn’t have any issues with them. I ordered in the evening and I got shipping and tracking information the next morning. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. I’m in NYS and they’re in NYC, so that helps vs internationally.
