Zenith was founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland by Georges Favre-Jacot. This Swiss watchmaker is arguably best known for its iconic El Primero movement, introduced in 1969. Zenith was so respected for this movement that, from 1988 - 2000, Rolex leveraged a version of it in their Daytona models. Zenith is currently owned by the luxury conglomerate, LVMH, headed by Bernard Arnaut.

Jack was amazing. The watch I ordered had some missing lume on the hour hand. He called me to let me know this before it was shipped and then gave me a little extra time to evaluate if I wanted to keep the watch. He followed up promptly. Bezel has been a great experience!

Jack was amazing

Just purchased an Omega from them last week! Concierge was extremely helpful with all my questions and ensured I was aware of any issues with my purchase. Definitely a friendly team and app. Will definitely be doing business with them again!

Will shop with them again!

Easy to purchase.  Easy to work with.  What more can you say.  

Easy

This was my first experience with Bezel, and I have to say—it was a great one. I was definitely hesitant about dropping four figures on a watch, but the entire process ended up being one of the best buying experiences I’ve had. I ordered a Breitling, and everything from start to finish was quick, smooth, and super straightforward. The Bezel team kept me updated the whole way, verified the watch, and made sure I felt confident about the purchase. They were responsive, communicative, and really made the investment feel worth it.

Luxury Purchase, No Stress—Thanks Bezel

Easy Transaction

Jack and the team at Bezel were exceptionally helpful the entire way through finding the watch I wanted and helping me to find the most reasonable deal. Walked me through the entire process and kept me update the entire time through delivery of my watch which was exactly as described. 5-star experience and will be back! 

Jack and the team at Bezel were…

Great prices. Able to communicate to bezel team some special review requests on the watch 

Great team

Clear buying process. Authentication. Expedited shipment. Amazing! Will be buying more!

Clear buying process

Fantastic buying experience! Blake answered all of my questions. The seller shipped the watch to Bezel for authentication quickly and I received it the following day. I will be using this site again and letting my friends know! 

Fantastic buying experience

Bezel is the best way to buy a Watch 
The process is easy, seamless, and the added protection bezel offers by authenticating and giving both seller and buyer assurance. I highly recommend using Bezel to anyone reading this and to anyone whom asks.

Bezel is the best way to buy a Watch 

Easy to order. The authentication process is thorough and transparent. The best part about buying a watch on Bezel is the care they take to insure everything is tip top.

Awesome 

Excellent customer service and well packaged item when it arrived. Will be looking forward getting my next watch collection with Bezel again.

Excellent All Around!

I found the bid process very clear. I was kind of surprised to get this watch so below value, but I was happy with it and when the watch came, it was as described and also set up perfectly which I really appreciated because I don’t know if I would’ve figured it out honestly. I will definitely be buying through Bezel again when I make another purchase. Thank you so much. 

I found the bid process very clear

Jack from bezel was great. The watch advertised said slight scuffs and marks but when received at bezel for authentication it had a lot more than advertised. Bezel offered polishing free of charge! Happy customer and guaranteed custom in the future. Good luck 

Jack from bezel was great

First time buying on Bezel. Experience was great! I really liked the tracker from purchase to delivery. Very easy and transparent. Will recommend to friends. Love my watch!

First time buying on Bezel

Very straightforward process and quick delivery of watch. Cannot ask for more.

Very straightforward process and quick…

The concierge team was immensely helpful in my buying experience. The answered any questions I had within an hour and let me know immediately when my watch shipped out. I was a bit hesitant spending 5k on a new online platform but with their authenticity guarantee I felt safe doing so. After getting overnighted to my house, the package arrived in perfect condition and my blue seamaster wrapped in protective film. If you’re in the market for a luxury watch without having to deal with dealers, or want a better deal than what the AD/ boutique is offering, Bezel is the way to go!

Very supportive all the way through

The Panerai I purchased was better than described, came very quickly. Great experience 

Great Experience

I purchased a watch and it was too small (my fault). I contacted the concierge team and Jack made it super easy to process the return and I had my credit within a couple business days. Both the first watch that I returned and the second watch I purchased were in pristine condition, I'd say better than advertised. 

Great buying (and returning) experience

Very easy and the support team was very communicative. I forgot to add a promo code to my order and they were helpful in still honoring it after my purchase. Thanks!

Very easy and the support team was very…

Quick and easy process

Spoke with a member of the team for around a few weeks before I made a purchase, they were happy to go over pretty much anything I had a question about. After finding the watch I wanted and negotiating an offer with the seller, I was able to purchase it and quickly transfer money smoothly without issue. The team even called me once it was delivered to let me know of a potential issue that they had found, but I ended up being ok with it as it was known for the caliber. Delivery was quick, only taking 1 business day. Packaging was wonderful as well, and included adequate protection as well as a folder with the receipt, authentication and diagnostic report, and authenticity guarantee card. My experience was phenomenal and I cannot recommend the service enough!

Great service and purchase experience

I was very skeptical and I was wrong, this company is legit and everything was great.
receive my watch very quickly, it was a great deal and I'm very happy
thank you, bezel

buy with confidence

I was glad to find a website that was reputable, quick in response and shipment, and gave me assurance that the product described was the product I received. The watch was beautiful and got to me fast!

REAL website with REAL watches, REAL EASY

Bezel brings honor and integrity back to the watch buying process. Their concierge team is great, you can tell they actually care and have a passion for watches. If there are any issues they are quick to contact you and make things right. If you're interested in buying a new time piece I would highly recommmed using bezel.

Bezel is Legit !

I’ve never purchased anything through an e-auction and I have to confess that the whole experience was fantastic.
I’ll definitely look for another model in the future.

First time BEZEL…Amazing!  

Great communication.

This was my first puchase from Bezel. 
The process was easy and very quick.
The received purchase was exactly as advertised, excellent!
When I made my purchase I was fully aware that Bezel is an aggregator and that there would be some lag time till delivery.
 A piece of constructive input would be for Bezel to advise the purchaser that the item had been received at Bezel and is off to authentication.  Just a bit more communication would be appreciated. 
I would buy again from Bezel.

This was my first puchase from Bezel

It was a pleasure working with Blake.  He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive to all my questions.  Great experience.  Thanks Blake.

It was a pleasure working with Blake

The auction process was straight forward, the concierge was great with any questions I had throughout the process, and in the end the product came carefully shipped and very nicely packaged. 

Great Experience 

My Bezel concierge helped me make the purchase process simple, from finding the right piece that fit all my wants, to negotiating the right price and making the delivery process seamless. I would highly recommend the service to anyone purchasing a watch of any kind.

Great service for first-time watch buyer

Easy to use website, good amount of products and prices, I had an issue with my credit card but David from the concierge team helped me to find how to solve the problem, I received the product as described and I was informed in every process, I will definitely buy again 

First time buyer and will recommend

Super easy process and the authentication process gave me all the confidence that I needed when buying my first luxury watch.

Easy Process & Authentication Was Nice

It was a fast transaction, the customer service is outstanding and more important, the condition of the watch was better than the description. 
Definitely an excellent experience.

Excellent experience 

I am extremely impressed with the whole process of buying with Bezel. From the initial offer to delivery, the communication and support was amazing. I am super happy with the authentication process and I love my Longines! Thanks!

Will definitely use Bezel for future preowned purchases 

I had an amazing experience working with Bezel! The process was incredibly easy and seamless. I felt confident knowing that they thoroughly authenticate the watch before it even reaches me, ensuring its legitimacy. Additionally, I needed the watch shipped on a different date after passing authentication, and their customer service went above and beyond to accommodate my request. The entire process was smooth, and I received the watch exactly when I asked for it. I highly recommend Bezel for anyone looking to make a watch purchase in the future!

Amazing experience 

Prompt service and they delivered exactly as promised

Prompt service and they delivered…

Jack at Bezel was great. The watch itself was in awesome condition, just as described- and the one thing that didn't fit expectation was communicated very clearly and discussed thoroughly. 

Jack at Bezel was great

Bezel makes selling a watch or buying a watch online worry-free. 

I chose Bezel because of their authentication process and being able to chat with the concierge team if you have any questions. And the app is great! It updates you on progress from order placement to when authentication starts and from there to shipping.

Bezel makes buying a watch online worry-free

Easy and was delivered very quickly.

Great service

total concierge service

Awesome experience.

Overall great experience. Got a call while they were doing their inspection that something about the watch didn't match the listing and we came to a solution over the phone that worked for everyone. Felt protected and valued. 

Honest and responsive

The watch was better than described. Communication and speed of receiving the watch were great.

The watch I wanted was easily located. The service and delivery was excellent and as promised.  I was comforted knowing my purchase was authenticated quickly.  
Overall it was an excellent experience. I will use  excel again!

The watch I wanted was easily located

Website navigation was very good-  process steps to order, auction bid; bid status; Bezel inspection and shipping/tracking was outstanding. I also found the FedEx packaging to be exceptionally good. 

Website navigation and complete custom sale cycle exceptional. 

The Bezel team did an amazing job! I am very satisfied with the process of getting the watches from them and I will be back for more.

The Bezel team did an amazing job

Great customer experience! The time piece was as advertised and a really quick delivery. I’m glad I found this site but am concerned that it will be to easy to feed my addiction 😰
Thanks and I will buy again. 

Great customer experience

Bought my first watch off Bezel recently, a JLC reverso. Great process, everything was delivered authenticated and in great condition. Will keep doing business here versus the shady secondary market or even the certified pre owned where these companies are price gouging!!!!

Bought first watch

Watch purchase

I won an auction for a Breitling Avenger 43 from another platform(site), and decided to give bezel a try. I like the bezel site, either bid on a timepiece or search and find your favorite through their search engine. Long story short, my bezel associate was Blake R. He was fantastic, very responsive and even took the time to give insight on questions I had. The purchase process was very fast, organized and very thorough. I highly recommend BEZEL, the Omega planet ocean I purchased was presented w-clear, consise photos. No hidden fees, charges etc.  I also asked for the watch to be delivered to a fedex store for pickup, didn’t want it sitting on my porch for a pirate to snag it. If your on the fence about buying or bidding from BEZEL, don’t sweat it,DO IT!!

Tried BEZEL, & they didn’t disappoint!!

At first, i was very skeptical on buying my watch from Bezel but i did further research and thought that I should give it the benefit of the doubt, and honestly it was the best experience and the best purchase i did to get one of dream watch. If you are looking to expand your watch collection or you’re looking to buy or sell a watch Bezel is by far the best app/website I have encountered.

Really reliable

Blown away by how good the user experience is. Best place to buy a watch online hands down

The best ecom experience ever

Chris is great to deal with. He is professional, respectful and will go the extra mile to help. Would recommend Chris and Bezel to anyone who appreciates working with people who actually care.

I was shopping for a special watch for my upcoming birthday. I found it through this site. Customer service was exceptional. They worked with me every step of the way. I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing Customer Service

Hands down the #1 spot for looking at prices and learning about watch models. Their concierge service is amazing. 

I bought my JLC reverso from bezel and it came in 2 days. Great price and service the whole way through 

5/5 stars, highly recommend

The Best Place to Shop

Auction consignment was super easy, and I’m happy with how my watch did. Payout was within a day or two. Great experience and would def consign again!

Auction consignment process was great

I have had a liking for watches since the first time I laid eyes on my uncle’s Breitling. I am now looking to develop a collection of pieces I remember from my youth and that which were bought for me as gifts. I look forward to using Bazel to achieve this.

Newly kindled flame

But can we please have a night mode.

Thank you.

Love the app

I was having issues getting my offers to go though. Sorted it all out via the chat feature, which felt delightfully like talking to a human. So far, so great.

Well-organized selection and top-notch customer service

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing my first Rolex through the Bezel App, and I couldn't be happier with the entire process, thanks to the exceptional assistance provided by Chris.

From the moment I downloaded the Bezel App, I was impressed by its user-friendly interface, extensive Rolex collection, and detailed product information. However, what truly set this experience apart was the outstanding customer service I received from Chris. 

Chris went above and beyond to ensure that my first Rolex purchase went smoothly. He patiently walked me through the entire process, answering all my questions.  Once I decided on the Rolex, Chris seamlessly guided me through the purchase process, making it hassle-free and secure. He ensured that I understood every step, from payment to delivery. I appreciated his dedication to transparency and his commitment to customer satisfaction.

I'm now the proud owner of a stunning Rolex, and I owe this unforgettable experience to Chris and the Bezel App. Thanks to their combined efforts, my first Rolex purchase was an absolute joy. I highly recommend the Bezel App to anyone looking to buy their dream watch, and if you're fortunate enough to work with Chris, you're in for an even more exceptional experience. I'm already looking forward to my next luxury watch purchase through Bezel, and Chris will undoubtedly be my go-to advisor. Thank you, Bezel App and Chris, for making this milestone purchase so memorable and enjoyable!

A Fantastic First Rolex Buying Experience with Bezel App and Chris!

Quick, straight forward, easy to interface, and secure. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top quality watch.

Great experience

I have been collecting watches for years. I have purchased from almost every type of source. Bezel is by far the most amazing marketplace that I have ever experienced. Chris was my concierge. Awesome.

Just wow!

I bought my first watch from Bezel and what a great experience. The watch was just as described and after authentication it was overnight shipped.! After purchase, they communicated every step and even updated me on warranty. Will be buying from them from now on.

First class service

These guys are awesome.

Spending money on a timepiece, you want a great experience without the wait on an AD. 

These guys are awesome. Purchased two pieces from these guys, same quick process, beautiful watches just as described. 

I wanna shout out Blake, for getting everything authenticated and sent quickly. Proud to be part of the #bezelwatchclub

Amazing experience, twice!

I have bought many watches over the last 30 years, from jewelers, brand boutiques, and online platforms. My experience with Chris and the team at Bezel stand above the others. From answering initial inquiries, to verification, and final delivery the attention to detail was unparalleled.

The best way to buy a watch.

I was able to purchase a watch through bezel and it was a very smooth process. I had Chris as my liaison and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Was very transparent about the entire process and put me at ease with every question I had. I have already recommended to other friends and will definitely be purchasing something again. Cheers!

Smooth client service

This was my first time buying a watch online and I have to say that the experience was very professional.
The authentication process ensures and legitimizes the purchase but I have to say that the biggest help was from my bezel ambassador Chris Benedetto. He was knowledgeable and answered all the right questions. They are definitely the place to grow my collection in the future.

Flawless and professional process!

Blake over at Bezel is incredibly helpful. If you’re in to watches, there is no other app you should be using. 10/10 would recommend

Will Be Back

The app works even better than the website.  I purchased a near $48,000 watch and it arrived quickly, as advertised and they were extremely helpful both on chat and by phone.  Do not hesitate!!

Highly recommended

Today, I received my 2023 Datejust 41 deep blue fluted motif with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. I looked everywhere and no one had it. Bezel had 2. I negotiated a price with the seller that was fair. I received the watch 7 days later, no issues. I’m telling everyone I know who is looking for a Rolex to use Bezel!

This is the place for hard to get Rolex models!

The Bezel team went above and beyond. I’m really happy with my first purchase on the platform. Super clean UX and exceptional communication.

Very satisfied

I was on the hunt for a Rolex 16234 and reached out to the Bezel team for support and advice. The experience was simply phenomenal. Very knowledgeable guys who I would 100% reach out to again with my future watch needs. I’m very happy I got in touch with them and didn’t venture out on my own. Also, knowing that all watches are first authenticated provided me with piece of mind. Thank you guys!

Excellent Team and Service

I just received the rolex I purchased for my husband, to tell you that the costumer experience I had with Blake was WONDERFUL is an understatement. 

I’m not an expert in watches and Blake guided me through every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable about watches and he definitely knows what he is doing. 

I 100% recommended Bezel and Blake!

Amazing experience from the start

I bought my first luxury watch from Bezel. It was a smooth process. I will continue to use Bezel to add to my watch collection. Their customer service is excellent as well. They respond to my emails immediately, and they even called me with an update.

Bezel

These young tech entrepreneurs have built a great product.  The service was exceptional and I found the exact watch I was looking for.  I will definitely be a frequent user; it is incredibly easy to navigate through the app.

Jeff Gardner

Recently purchased a watch from Bezel and it was a seamless experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase! The website and app are both incredibly clean from a UI / UX perspective, and the purchasing process is very easy. 

Once I bought my watch they were incredibly responsive, and Chris emailed and called me to make sure I would have the proper fitting for the bracelet. Would highly recommend purchasing a watch from this great marketplace!

Chris and the rest of the Bezel team are great!

I wanted to own Rolex watch for all my life because my father had one but it went to my older brother after he passed away. Bezel, especially Chris, made my dream comes true. I have looked for a reasonable priced Rolex two toned datejust for weeks but could not find anything that fitted my requirements and budget until Chris from Bezel reached out to me. I got my gorgeous Rolex today with his help. The watch is so beautiful and is in excellent condition. The price is very reasonable. The purchasing, money transaction, authentication and delivery processes are super easy. I recommend Chris from Bezel without reservations.

Bezel Delivers

Cannot say enough good things about Bezel. 

If you are even a little bit into watches this app is an amazing resource. It is 100% five star service from beginning to end. 

Browsing Bezels large and diverse collection of watches is a fun way to kill time for any watch enthusiast, and it will help newcomers to really ramp up their knowledge of the luxury watch world.  

When it comes to buying a piece, I could not be more happy that I chose to go through Bezel. I purchased an “Unworn” Omega Seamaster 300 and the watch arrived within 4 days exactly as advertised: Not a scratch or mark on it, with full box, papers, and warranty. Even more importantly, BezeI allowed me to secure the piece at over a 20% discount to boutique prices. 

I spoke with Chris throughout the buying process who is both knowledgeable and provides exemplary customer service. He even had his team resize the watch for me before shipping. 

Whether you are looking to simply browse for fun or you are seriously in the market for a particular piece, Bezel has my highest recommendation. 

They made making a major online purchase a fun and worry free experience; and I will most definitely be purchasing my next watch through Bezel.

Luxury Experience

From interest to arrival this company has your back. Messaged Chris on the app and he helped the entire process even on the weekend. Highly recommend.

Got a great price, used affirm for delaying payments, watch was sent to authentication within 24 hours, and is being shipped to me within 48. They asked wrist size and already fit it to me personally. Not sure how you can beat this experience. Will use again, undoubtedly.

5* experience

Blake and the Bezel team helped me find the perfect Rolex in no time at all! The entire process was smooth and quick, and Blake answered so many questions along the way. Best way to buy a watch online!

A+ Experience

I just got a beautiful Grand Seiko from Bezel.. the watch was in excellent condition as promised and everything about the transaction went exactly how it was supposed to go down. 

Great customer service and easy to use. I highly recommend Bezel for your next watch purchase.. or just to browse your grail watches!

Great App, Incredible watch!

Just purchased my first watch from Bezel. From start to finish, they were very attentive. Amazing service and very happy with the watch. Will definitely be buying from Bezel again!

Amazing service

I just purchased an “almost new” Rolex Yachtmaster from Bezel.  I was a little worried about a relatively big purchase being done online - however their professionalism throughout and assurances as well as the  ability to use credit cards (no fee!) was enough for me to try.  I am 1000% happy with the watch, and the entire process was exactly what you would hope for with a professional watch purchase.  The app is also terrific and their follow up is A+.   I am a big fan now.

My first Bezel watch…

Reached out to sell a watch, and Chris from the team contacted me. While I decided to cancel an original transaction, Chris reached out a few days later with another offer (I thank him for being truly client-oriented) and the whole process was completed within a week (from sale to receiving funds). Smooth and transparent process—fully recommend and look forward to many more transactions to come!

Smooth service and top relationship

I had the opportunity to purchase and acquire my first watch from Bezel last week. A Vacheron, 7900V Overseas, Dual Time, which was advertised as being produced in the year 2021, unworn, complete with box, papers, and two additional straps. I was skeptical because I was unaware of the Bezel organization.

I researched Bezel and then made contact with Chris; he is the Concierge for Bezel, and apparently often the first contact one will have if there are written or verbal inquiries. He was outstanding. Extremely professional, and very patient in answering all of my questions which took several calls. He outlined the acquisition, authentication, and delivery process. Bezel is very interesting, because after they acquire the watch from the seller, they authenticate it’s veracity in-house. This involves more than just authenticating the actual watch; there are other databases, which they also utilize to make sure the watch has not been stolen etc.
 
I was able to follow the acquisition, authentication process, and delivery through the app. The entire process was really first rate, and truly exceptional! I received the watch completely as advertised. There was a nice hand written letter from Chris; the watch was even set to the correct time, in my time zone, to include the date.  I would highly recommend Bezel  for your next watch purchase and I look forward to doing future business with them.

First Watch acquisition from Bezel

Purchased my first luxury watch with Bezel. Process was smooth, very communicative. Received the watch within two days. Highly recommended!!

Best service!!

I have been interested in watches for a very long time and like many others, I started my journey buying pieces in the lower price range. I knew I wanted to step up a bit into a more luxury-type brand but found myself very overwhelmed with the whole process. 

Thankfully I found Bezel and was able to connect with Chris who was just incredibly helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell these guys just love watches and really know their stuff. He took a lot of time with me asking the right questions that helped me discover the route I wanted to go. 

I just completed my first purchase and it was an absolute breeze, I won’t be buying watches any other way moving forward.

Incredible app and an amazing team!

The Bezel team communicates very well and they stand by their watches as noted.  I had a very minor issue with the seller and they corrected it prior to me knowing via their authentication process.  I would buy another watch and plan to do so.  Once the watch is authenticated they ship overnight
