specialvat Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Guys, Have you bought anything from a-and-e-watches, I bought some cal.1570 pre owned hands from them and I think I ve been had. Reason I say this is they match the after market hands I got from clarks, and are nothing like the genuine hands I have in silver ? Anyone have any feedback from a purchase from them, I got the hands in 4 days which I was really happy with. I have asked them to confirm they are original rolex as the ad stated, I ll see what they come back with. Hope you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I bought a 16800/16610 bezel from them but it was aftermarket- can't remember how it was advertised- I don't think they said it was gen, but they might have alluded to it. If you have a set of gen hands to compare with and the a and e hands don't match, I'd send them back and say they don't match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacher62 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I purchased an 18K white gold fluted bezel for a DJ 16234 and it was perfect. Don't know that it is gen but it fit perfectly and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapman57 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 They certainly offer both gen and aftermarket parts, some are advertised as aftermarket, so maybe this is a genuine mistake. Their feedback profile is good? However, sometimes I wonder how they get a constant stream of exactly the same parts, bracelets, or case subassemblies etc. I did try to buy a sub bezel late last year and it was not clear on whether it was gen, or aftermarket - only when I really pushed did they confirm in few words that it was aftermarket. Another fact is that on repeat sales of jubilee bracelets, they tend to use a stock picture for more than one post??? Personally I never like that - you must see what you is actually buying? Best thing to do is see how they respond...................good luck and pls keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ive bought a lot of genuine parts from them, and I've never had a problem. I always get exactly what I see in the pics. dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 PM Red Series 3. He and I had a conversation about them a few months ago. He had a bad experience with them. Just so you know, as I have followed their auctions for some time, every one of their auctions uses the same photos. Make sure they send you pics of the actual item you are getting before you bid. You won't be getting the item in the pictures, I promise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Still no word from them, the auction was for "Original Rolex Hands Complete Set (Pre-owned)" I take this to mean genuine rolex. I sent them questions before I bought them, each time making sure they were for the 1570 mvt and that I did nt want aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I bought a 16610 bezel from which is not going to be gen at $55 but are not very clear on stating otherwise! When it arrived it was an aftermarket yachtmaster bezel so waiting for them to receive it back and rectify the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red series 3 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm not one to leave bad feedback on ebay or publicly rubbish companies i deal with. I'm one to vote with my feet. Put simply my dealings with a and e watches was the worst ebay transaction i have ever had. I would never purchase from them again. I have read on other forums that people have regularly purchased from them and as they have had trouble getting what they expect so they pick up from their shop address directly. I think my experience was due to me offering a price i thought was fair based on sales history and they thought that was justification to send a damaged case dial and bracelet.It was black and white in comparison to the pics of the item i won.

I purchased an 18k white gold fluted bezel and when it came it was white gold but not 18k it was aftermarket and somewhere around 9k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see Kay Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 what is exactly so bad about wholesaleoutlet990. I've bought many items from them. Even returned something and even got the shipping charges returned too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
