Bob’s Watches and Revolve Team Up to Offer a Slew of Coveted Rolexes in Time for the Holidays

Pre-owned watch dealer, Bob’s Watches, and online men’s and women’s fashion retailer, Revolve, have teamed up to offer a slew of coveted Rolexes just in time for the season of gifting.

Getting your hands on a new Rolex at retail is almost impossible this year—just swing by any Rollie dealer and you will endless empty glass vitrines. Rumor has it that keeping new Rolexes in stock has been so difficult that the company might be considering creating dummy watches, so clients can still try on timepieces while putting their names down on waiting lists.

But what if you want to get your hands on one now? Go pre-owned. Bob’s Watches has long been one of the top Rolex dealers in the secondary market and now you can shop some of its best pieces from the Crown at Revolve. The California-based companies are offering everything from a Daytona Ref. 116520 with a black dial to a Rolex Submariner “Kermit” Ref. 126610LV and ladies rollies such as an Oyster Perpetual Ref. 276200 with a pink dial.

WATCH

In total, 17 pieces will be up for grabs through the Revolve x Bob’s Watches capsule collection and will be offered at special prices here and here. Case in point: An 18-karat yellow gold 36 mm Day-Date is listed at $9,295. Unfortunately, for would-be buyers that one has already been swiped up. But you should act fast if you want to get your hands on a 2020-model 34 mm Oyster Perpetual Ref. 124200 listed for $6,595, a 1990-model 40 mm Explorer II for $8,595, or an 18-karat yellow-gold Day-Date “President,” which received its nickname as a favorite of more than one POTUS since its introduction in 1956 (Nixon, Ford and Reagan, to name a few), for $19,495. The most expensive piece is, of course, the 40 mm steel Daytona Ref. 116520, the first Cosmograph Daytona to run on the cal. 4130, which will set you back $25,495.

Go on, make yourself or someone you love feel very special this holiday season.

LAPD searching for robbers who approached driver with gun, took Rolex watches, cash, jewelry in Valley Village

Police are searching for robbers who approached a vehicle with a gun and took cash and jewelry from the occupants early Friday morning.

The robbery was reported shortly before 3 a.m. in the 12000 block of Albers Street, where the victims were stopped after returning from an event in Hollywood.

They were then approached by three men, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

A man who identified himself to KTLA as the victim said he was sitting in the car with friends when an “aggressive” man came up to him with a gun and pointed it at his head.

The victim, who did not provide his name, said he offered cash, but one of the robbers said he wanted everything.

The robbers ended up taking two Rolex watches, a diamond bracelet, a Louis Vuitton wallet and $2,000 in cash from the victim before fleeing the scene, according the victim and police.

One of the suspects was described as being a Black man, between 20 to 30 years old, wearing a surgical mask and a grey and black jacket. Another suspect, believed to be between 30 to 40 years old, was wearing a black hat and had a beard.

No description was available on the third suspect.

Police said the robbers, who were armed with a black handgun, drove away in a 2010 white Toyota Corolla.

LAPD said it was too early to confirm whether the incident was a follow-home robbery.

Police have been warning about an increase of “follow-home robberies” targeting celebrities and upscale neighborhoods and restaurants in L.A.

In one incident, a 23-year-old man was shot and killed during an attempted robbery outside a popular Hollywood restaurant, Bossa Nova, around 2 a.m. Nov. 23.

The victim was sitting in his vehicle when he saw several people approach his female companion outside and try to rob her. He got out and was then fatally shot.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore last week announced the creation of task force to catch follow-home robbers in response to the troubling trend.

No further details were immediately available.
