Watch Rapport?

Has anybody dealt with watchrapport.com? If so how was your experience I am looking to buy a watch but not sure if I should take the chance.

It’s all about the rapport.

Just make sure to look your watch deep in the eyes to ramp up the rapport a bit

Any updates on this website? I'm interested in a watch they have as well.

Can we actually take this topic seriously for once?

I would suggest building some rapport with the “Who’s Who section“ in this very forum, where you’ll Find comments about this seller

That's funny because the one thread I found in the Who's who section a poster referred to coming here.

I guess there is not much experience dealing with this seller (which seems to be more like a Chrono 24 website than an individual seller).

That's how I ended up here too. Did an internet search for "Watch Rapport" found a thread in the "Who's Who Section" with someone asking about the site. That person get's told, "Beat it noob--head over to the WatchOut!!! section!"

I'm paraphrasing a bit, but that's how I remember it. And here we are.

Seems like everyone is holding their cards awfully close to the vest on these Watch Rapport folks...

Their online prices are 20 to 30% below market. For example, I am purchasing a 216570 polar. All legitimate sellers including the amazing boutique sellers on this forum, sell this watch for around $11,000. Watch Rapport? $8000, $9000. Perhaps they just found an old stash of thousands of these watches and can undercut the rest of the market by 30%

Pass.

Looks like nothing more than a glorified aggregator site.

They are nothing more than glorified watch brokers. The site reposts other peoples listings, and claims it as their own. I presume they are marking up watches trying to make a quick buck without having to have skin in the game.

Interested in this as well..

Curious if anyone on here has purchased a watch from that site.

Prices are very below market value. Im seeing 15500's listed for $34K. Still way above retail but current market is pricing these at $40k and up.

As mentioned above:

They are nothing more than a listing aggregator, and don't actually possess any of the watches they advertise.
All of their "inventory" is simply watches that are listed elsewhere, by other sellers/dealers/platforms, that you could probably find on your own with a little searching.

They also appear to use old/outdated listings (with old/outdated pricing), which I am guessing they do on purpose as a form of bait.

Again: Pass.
