Completely legit, but you won't get the warranty, which can be costly if you would need service or repair during that time. I had an issue with a Tag once that was bought from an authorized dealer back when they had to go to Switzerland for service and because that very expensive bill was covered I have always bought from an authorized source.
A timepiece like a Rolex is like a car, at some point it will need maintenance and you just have to decide if the low risk of having a problem during the warranty period is worth the savings.
if your biggest concern is if it will be real, don't worry, it will be.
Haven’t used it, but am familiar and have no reason to not believe it’s legit. If you’re concerned, check out Chrono24.com—I just sold a Rolex on there and it was fairly simple as they provide an escrow account to hold money for the buyer/seller before they can sign off on a sale.
Quoting to confirm. I had zero issues when I purchased a watch through them. I also didn’t buy a Rolex, so I had a little more risk tolerance for things going wrong.
Bought sunglasses there, completely authentic. Obviously the warranty thing is a lot less important for sunglasses than for watches, but I would feel comfortable buying a watch there, just depends on your opinion on the warranty and whether the price discount is worth it. They are a "grey market" seller, just means they acquire inventory from non-traditional channels and sell them at a discount from what you'd see at authorized dealers. I've also ready many people had no issues with returns, if you aren't satisfied when you get the product.
It's total gray market, legal but no warranty as mentioned.
May be worth the costs but I would rather buy a Rolex from an AD

Thanks guys. Not too concerned about the warranty. I would buy from my local AD but good luck with that (no inventory). Question do they come in an authentic manufacturers (Rolex) box with manufacturers papers? I have e-mailed them twice with this question with no response, which isn't a great sign.

Why not support a local owned business? I've bought upscale watches at Johnston Watch & Clock Junction on Merle Hay.
They sell used watches (yes they have Rolex) as well and they come with a 1 year warranty.
I bought a Submarine from there about a year ago. 100% authentic. It didn’t come with the Box or Papers though. Most people want them. I’ll never resell - so it wasn’t a huge issue for me.
Jomashop is legit, but I recommend truefacet.com. Your timing for wanting to buy a Rolex is off a bit as the prices have doubled the past two years. So I might recommend you wait for the market to soften a bit.
I assume you meant Submariner which is the one I'm looking at. I probably will give it to one of my sons when I pass so papers not that important but would be nice. TXCyclones I realize the market is stupid right now, what can you tell me about truefacet? Thanks for the replies.
