Day just
Sdzhngy Y.

If you're trying to sell your luxury watches and avoid the sketchy back-alley vibes of the internet, Ideal Luxury is the spot--and Mark is the guy you want. I brought in my GMT-Master II and Datejust, and Mark handled everything with professionalism, transparency, and a level of watch knowledge that instantly made me feel like I was in good hands. He walked me through how pricing works in the current market, explained the details behind what collectors look for, and gave me a fair offer--no pressure, no fluff. Even better, when it came to figuring out my next move, Mark pointed me in the right direction instead of just trying to push another sale. That kind of integrity is rare in this space. If you're looking to buy, sell, or just nerd out over fine timepieces, Ideal Luxury is worth the visit. Mark makes the whole process feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation between enthusiasts. Definitely coming back.

Just as promised. I appreciate the follow up call when my ring was shipped. I highly recommend Ideal Luxury to do business with.

I came to Ideal Luxury through some recommendations. I was interesting in owning my first Rolex. They weren't annoyed that I was a newbie to the Rolex world. Mark and Ryan was more than helpful with the process and answered all the questions I had. Keep on mind, you have to schedule an appointment to meet up but the meeting was private and very informative. It was easy to talk about the cost without other people listening in. They were honest and very fair with their prices too! They also helped with the sizing of the bracelet and went above and beyond. I am happy to say I am a proud owner of Rolex Deep Sea Sea Dweller! I would definitely come back in to purchase additional luxury goods! Gotta save up some money first until the next purchase. Thank you Mark and Ryan!

My wife and I came in looking for a watch for our 15th anniversary, knowing it was a watch that…read moretakes real patience. Erica Brun was the one who helped us, and she set the tone right away. She walked us through the process, answered everything we asked, and never made us feel rushed or like we were taking up her time. What we appreciated most was her honesty. Erica was clear about what was realistic and what wasn't, and she never oversold our chances just to keep us hopeful. And she followed through. She said she would reach out if the watch became available, and she did exactly that. The morning she reached out, my wife and I just stared at each other, and then we were jumping around the room like a couple of kids. When we came in to pick it up, she still remembered the details of a conversation we'd had months earlier. It never felt like a transaction. The handover was relaxed, nobody rushed us, and the whole team was welcoming. If you get the chance, ask for Erica. Whether you're buying something straightforward or hoping for something that takes time, you'll be in good hands. We can't recommend her enough, thank you Erica!

BUYERS, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE SENDING THIS COMPANY ANY MONEY…read more I had a very concerning experience with this seller, and I have screenshots, emails, payment records, and the eBay listing to document what happened. They advertised a Rolex on eBay for approximately $27,000. I submitted an offer of $21,000 through eBay. When I received no response, I called the company directly. During that call, I was told that BEFORE they would answer my questions or provide information about the watch, I needed to pay a $200 deposit through their website to prove I was a serious buyer. I followed their instructions and paid the $200. They accepted my money and sent me a receipt. ONLY AFTER THEY RECEIVED MY $200, I was told they could not provide me the watch at the advertised price. Instead, they attempted to offer me a completely different watch at a substantially higher price. What happened next was even more concerning. The original watch remained listed on eBay, except the asking price was changed from approximately $27,000 to $33,999. I was then blocked by the seller from submitting bids or offers on eBay. I have screenshots documenting the $33,999 listing and the eBay message stating, "The seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you." I requested an immediate refund of my $200 because I paid that money specifically after being told it was required before they would discuss the advertised watch with me. My refund requests have gone unanswered, and as of the date of this review, MY $200 HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. To be clear, my complaint is not that the seller rejected my $21,000 offer. A seller has every right to reject an offer. My complaint is that I was instructed to PAY $200 before they would discuss the advertised watch with me. They accepted my money. Only afterward did they tell me they would not provide that watch at the advertised price and tried to substitute a different watch. The original watch was then listed for $33,999, I was blocked from making further offers, and my $200 has still not been refunded. I can document every material part of my experience. Before sending this company a deposit, I strongly recommend getting IN WRITING exactly what the deposit is for, whether it is refundable, confirmation that the specific watch being advertised is actually available at the advertised price, and what happens to your money if the seller does not proceed with that watch. I WOULD NOT SEND THIS COMPANY ANOTHER DOLLAR. I am simply asking for the return of the $200 they required me to pay. As of this review, they have kept my money and stopped responding to my requests for a refund. BUYERS SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL BEFORE SENDING THIS COMPANY ANY DEPOSIT OR PAYMENT.
