Recent Patek Watch Buys
Above and Beyond
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at C. Blackburn Jewelers when I recently traded my late dad’s Rolex for a gold Lady-Datejust. Carl Blackburn and Rolex specialist, Ron, assisted me throughout the process. They offered me a fair trade value for my dad’s watch, which meant a lot to me. Carl and Ron went above and beyond to find a watch that matched the specifications of my dream watch perfectly. I am thrilled with my new watch and grateful for the outstanding service I received. I’ll be back!
The Right Watch Buyer
Working with Carl Blackburn was one of the most simple and straight-forward transactions I’ve experienced. He quickly responded to my voicemail, and immediately I felt confident that I was working with the right watch buyer to sell my used Rolex watch.
Top Notch
Working with Carl was an uncomplicated and straightforward experience, one of the best transactions I’ve had. I left a voicemail, and he promptly responded with a text and call, where he clearly explained the process. I felt confident that I had found the right buyer to sell my Rolex. After I sent clear pictures of the timepiece, Carl followed up with a phone call and quoted me a very competitive price. We agreed to the deal, and he covered the cost of insuring and shipping the timepiece via FedEx. After he confirmed receipt and assessed the timepiece, he wired the funds directly to my bank account. I highly recommend working with Carl. He runs a top-notch business and is a man of his word.
Generous & Reliable
I wanted to sell my Rolex watch and researched various options online. I sent out several inquiries for quotes on different websites, including local ones and some that required me to send the watch. Carl replied to my request for a quote within a day, providing guidance on how to take the necessary pictures for an accurate assessment. After receiving the pictures and other details, Carl made a fair and generous offer (higher than those from local vendors). As a first-time watch seller with limited experience, I highly recommend working with Carl and considering his offer before doing business with others. His offer was the highest, and other vendors I spoke with confirmed they couldn’t match it. If you are satisfied with his offer, you can trust that it’s a safe and reliable option. I strongly recommend this business.
