Bought my first Rolex Submariner here back in 2019. These guys are legit — no pressure, no upselling, just straight talk. Alan himself helped me pick the right reference. Still wear it every day.

Traded in my old Cartier Tank for a newer model. They gave me a fair trade-in value, better than two other places I checked in the DC area. Pretty solid dealer overall.

Sarah K.

Honest guys who know their stuff. Brought in my dad's vintage Omega Speedmaster for appraisal and they spent a good hour going over every detail. Didn't charge me an arm and a leg either.

James T.

Found a beautiful Breitling Navitimer at a great price. The whole team is super friendly and knowledgeable. My go-to spot for watches now.

D
Diana M.

Decent selection but I felt like they didn't have as many sport Rolexes as I was hoping for. Staff was nice enough though and said they could source what I wanted. Just wasn't what I expected walking in.

Chris W.

Traded in two watches toward a Rolex Yacht-Master and got a great deal. They really do give fair trade-in values — not the lowball numbers you get from most places. Highly recommend.

Amanda J.

Sold my Rolex Datejust here after getting lowball offers from online buyers. Alan Furman gave me a fair price right off the bat. Quick and painless transaction. Would definitely go back.

Bought a Cartier Santos for my husband's 50th birthday. They wrapped it up beautifully and even threw in a spare strap. Nice family-owned vibe you don't get at the big chains.

Had a pretty frustrating experience trying to get a straight answer on a trade-in for my Submariner. Got different numbers from different people there. Eventually just walked away. Maybe it was an off day but I wasn't impressed.

These folks have been around since the 80s and it shows — they really know watches. Picked up a vintage Omega Seamaster that runs like a dream. Can't recommend them enough.

Fair prices on pre-owned Breitlings. I compared with several online dealers and Alan Furman was right in the sweet spot. Watch arrived exactly as described. Would buy from them again.

V
Victor M.

Went in to look at Breitlings and felt kind of ignored for the first 15 minutes. Eventually got helped but the experience started off on the wrong foot. Watch prices were fair though.

Angela P.

Best appraisal experience I've ever had. Brought in three inherited watches and they identified each one accurately and gave me honest valuations. True professionals.

K
Kevin D.

Got my Omega Constellation here. Good price and they were patient while I tried on like six different ones. Only reason not 5 stars is parking in Silver Spring is a nightmare.

N
Nicole S.

Traded my Rolex GMT-Master II for a Daytona and the trade-in value was really fair. Alan walked me through the whole deal step by step. Honest guys running a real business here.

Marcus J.

Watch was as described but shipping took longer than promised. I'm out in Virginia so I couldn't just swing by to pick it up. Good dealer, just wish communication was a bit better on the timeline.

B
Beth A.

They did an honest appraisal on my grandmother's vintage Omega. Turns out it's worth way more than I thought. Didn't even charge me for the appraisal since I decided to sell it to them.

G
Grace N.

My family has been buying watches from Alan Furman since the 90s. They remember your name and what you like. That kind of personal service is rare these days. Picked up another Rolex last week.

D
David L.

Purchased a Cartier Ballon Bleu for my mom. The staff was helpful and not pushy at all. Good selection of ladies watches which isn't always the case at watch dealers.

Priya N.

If you're in the DC metro area and want to buy or sell a luxury watch, this is the place. Period. I've done three transactions with them and every one has been smooth and fair.

Steve F.

Sold my late husband's Breitling here. They were respectful and compassionate during a difficult time, and gave me a very fair price. Really decent human beings.

J
Jennifer C.

Drove two hours from Richmond to check out their inventory and it was worth the trip. Incredible selection of Rolexes and the prices were very competitive. Already planning my next visit.

F
Frankie L.

Good experience buying a Rolex Explorer II. Price was competitive with what I saw online but I got to inspect it in person which is way better. Solid dealer, would recommend.

B
Brian O.

Brought in my Omega for a trade-in estimate and felt the offer was too low. Ended up selling it privately for about 15% more. Nothing against them personally, just wasn't the deal for me.

D
Derek M.

Love this place. The whole family works there and they treat you like family too. My Cartier Panthere is gorgeous and was priced fairly. Silver Spring is lucky to have these guys.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Rolex Datejust 41 after months of research. Alan Furman had the exact dial I wanted in stock. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Ryan P.

The watch I bought was great but when I had an issue with the clasp a month later, it took them a while to get back to me. Eventually fixed it but the follow-up could be better.

P
Paul K.

Honest appraisal on my vintage Breitling Chronomat. They could have lowballed me but they didn't. Ended up selling to them and the whole process took maybe 20 minutes.

C
Carmen R.

These guys have been serving the DC area forever and it's easy to see why. Genuine, honest, and they really love watches. Bought a beautiful Cartier here last month.

Helen B.

Store is a bit cramped and the selection is smaller than I expected for a dealer that's been around this long. That said, what they had was quality stuff and fairly priced.

J
Jeff H.

First time buying a luxury watch and they made it so easy. No snobby attitude like at some ADs. Walked out with a beautiful Omega Seamaster and didn't feel pressured at all.

Wendy T.

Third Rolex I've bought from Alan Furman over the years. Consistent quality and fair pricing every single time. They've earned a customer for life.

A
Anthony E.

Nice little shop with a good range of watches. Got my Cartier here and my boyfriend got a Breitling. Both fairly priced. Staff is chill and not in your face.

S
Samantha W.

Decent experience overall. Bought an Omega here about six months ago. Watch is great, price was okay. Nothing spectacular but nothing bad either. Would probably return if they had something I wanted.
