Icon20 The Watch Collector

Hi Everyone.

Does anyone know the reputation of The Watch Collector? He has a GMT 116713 LN for sale at a respectable price, but I know nothing about him.

Thank you.

Yes that is the web site. I believe his name is Gil. It is the Watch Collector in NY.

Do you know anything about him/company?

Thanks.

The pictures on this site are copied from an ebay seller with a good reputation: TopNotch Watch

If he is firm on those prices on his site they are a bit high.

While his prices are high, they are still lower than retail with taxes. I don't mind paying a bit extra for a new Rolex from a trustworthy seller.

Major scammer. I can't believe someone hasn't been able to shut this guy down yet.

Thanks

Thank you all for the feedback and recommendations of where to buy.

I am close to pulling the trigger on a GMT 116713 with black face. Just got to narrow down to the right dealer. Any further thoughts on the best dealer??

There are a few very reliable and trusted dealers on eBay that sell BNIB sports models for around $4,100, which is very reasonable.
