When wait times at Rolex Authorized Dealer (AD) have become more a minimum prison sentence of 3-5…read moreyears wait time, it becomes extremely tempting to seek other means for the purchase of your dream watch. Areas such as the gray market and used/ pre-owned resellers are becoming tempting. But keep in mind there are "more fakes than authentic Rolexs on the market" and currently on the wrists of the super successful in society. An issue that Rolex themselves don't seem to mind!  The Diamond Exchange, a business that claims over 30 years in the industry the price becomes extremely tempting. Best of all is the selection of "Rolex" products on hand: they have various models, years, and designs and at a mere 30-35% above the AD's new MSRP! As ridiculous as that sounds, it can ve extremely tempting when considering the current gray market prices. When entering a business that is asking only 30% MSRP, it easily becomes a viable option (30% is actually on the low end currently). While making my purchase, the seller informed me that Rolex does not keep time very well. This statement should have set off red flags, but unfortunately, it did not at the time. I purchased an extremely well-made Rolex Submariner that was only a couple of years old and still was under warranty according to the certified card included. I was filled with joy. However, that ended when the watch was losing over 20 seconds s a day. I simply dropped the watch off at an authorized dealer for repair in Tysons. I was quoted a jaw-dropping 12-16 week turnaround for the repair. As discouraging as it was to spend thousands of dollars and need repair within a week of purchase, I wanted the quality that I invested in, so off it went. Feeling confident, I left with an empty wrist and voucher. Several weeks later, I received a call from the dealer informing me that my watch was ready for pickup. However, nothing was done as a result of the watch not being authentic. The Rolex Submariner watch. I was sold a FAKE ROLEX! When I inquired what the issue was, the dealer informed me I would need to contact Rolex directly to find out the details. At this point, thousands of dollars were dumped down the drain! My dream watch scenario was quickly morphing into a nightmare situation. Disappointment and shock would be an understatement of the decade! It was equally interesting that the authorized dealer that I brought the watch to wasn't able to tell the item was unauthentic initially. To be exact- a congratulations on my purchase was originally offered only amplifying the sting further. Rolex informed me that the watch was fake and that the Serial Number did not exist in their records. The certified card had all matching information and appropriate markings needed; details discovered during my research. After conducting hours of research and feeling confident about the sellers reputation, I made my purchase, only to be bamboozled in the end. I had become a victim of fraud! A 10-15 year prison sentence at stake I went to return the fake I purchased weeks before. When I entered, the seller claimed not to remember me or the original transaction - more salt I'm the wound. I demanded my money back as I recalled the details of my experience. The owner casually stated, "Of course I'll return the money for your purchase," as he feined shock that the item was fake. In the end, I was sold an extrenely well made high-end clone (1:1 available online). He further explained that he received the watch on trade by a trusted return customer that he would need to "have a talk with." My overall experience was absolutely traumatizing. The transaction was horrible and I would not recommend conducting business with the Diamond Exchange when purchasing a Rolex line product unless of course you are willing to spin the wheel and become another mark to pad the pockets of shady business practices. Simply having a store front does not make you reputable. It is integrity and business practices those of which are clearly lacking at the Diamond Exchange.

I had some scrap laying around and was deciding where to sell. After seeing the many positive reviews on google and yelp, I decided to go here.

His office is located in a business type building on the 7th floor, once you get off the elevator take a left through the door and his office is on the left side. After presenting the items he uses his machine to determine if it real or fake gold and how many carat it is. After a quick and efficient process I got my money and it took only about 15 minutes overall. After the transaction was finish Steven was nice enough to give me a box of chocolate which was gold in color to represent " gold" funny enough xD.

They buy jewelry based on the price of gold that day rather than the aesthetic appearance of the jewelry. They take 30% off the gold price. By comparison, I know most jewelry stores in Asia take a lower percentage off the gold price (I think 27% if I remember correctly). Not sure what is standard in America. My experience was quick. They used a tool to check what karat gold my jewelry was, weighed it, and then paid me out in nice crisp cash. I'd use it again for the convenience, but not to get the best price.

Poor service and workmanship on a wedding band repair…read more I brought in two rings for repair after it was cut in half. One was a thin eternity diamond band. Within one week of the repair, 3 diamonds fell off the band. I called immediately and they asked me to bring it back in. When I brought it back in, I received no apology or accountability. They said the diamonds fell off due to wear on the ring, and it had nothing to do with their work. They also said that because the ring was cut off, it would never be the same and this will continue to happen. If I had known that, I wouldn't have paid $350 to repair the ring to begin with. They initially tried to charge me for the repair, but begrudgingly agreed to repair it "just this once" at no cost. When I received the ring for the second time, there is still a gap between diamonds, to which they said, "that's where it was cut and that's how it will look. It's not due to our work." I would have appreciated and - quite frankly, expected a respected jeweler - to tell me that before I went through the repair process. Very disappointed in the service and quality of the work I experienced.
