The ring turned out absolutely beautiful. I would recommend BIG to anyone. My fiancée and I will most certainly be back for wedding bands, etc **UPDATE: went back to BIG for both me and my wife's wedding bands and just wow, absolutely perfect.

All I had to do was ask Andrew to procure one, and in a couple of days, he obtained a virtually brand-new Submariner with the coveted green bezel that keeps perfect time--and has the box and all the papers. Andrew smoothly adjusted the band and explained every nuance of the Rolex so that I would have the best experience with my new watch. Plus, Andrew's price was absolutely fair for this timepiece. As excited as I am to have this AMAZING and GORGEOUS watch, I remain equally impressed with Andrew's resourcefulness, candor, honesty, fairness, knowledge, outstanding level of service, friendliness, and passion for watches. He should be YOUR "watch guy," as he is mine. Five stars all the way! === October 21, 2005 First experience with Andrew and Sansom Watches! 5-Star! Excellent experience selling a luxury watch! Andrew is honest, fair, very knowledgeable, and quite personable. I received a very fair price for a gold Cartier tank watch. I'll be back to buy a Rolex from Andrew. Thanks, Andrew for the terrific help and great service!

These were items selling on other sites for hundreds to thousands of dollars. On auction day only 6 of the items were up for sale! They sold at very low prices ,$100.00 - $300.00 ! After Alderfer deducted their commissions and expenses they sent me a bill! I did protest and they ended up sending me a small check. It took over a month to get my 10 items back. They wanted me to have an estate sale to sell these and other items. I wouldn't trust them to sell anything for me ! I feel this was a total scam. This is a warning to anyone wishing to sell items.
