I've been collecting relatively inexpensive watches for years. New to watch making though! That's a whole 'nuther deep rabbit hole to fall down! Sooooo many tools...

I have never heard about them but my personal take on it is that, you can never guarantee that a watch is “investment grade”. We can wake up tomorrow and the world just doesn’t alue a certain watch anymore and the watch price will take a drastic dive and it happens all the time.
Haven’t worked with them, but looking at their selection, looks like the watches are polished and being sold as “perfect.” This alone turns me off to anything they do:
Short of very rare watches, there is no such thing as investment grade. The fact they are basically servicing and polishing watches, does not make them that. That said, if someone does not care that a watch was polished and want to over pay for it, all the power to them.

You're spot in with this. I was literally thinking that the watches were 10x the cost of the same thing on ebay.

Exactly. Then send said watch back to the manufacturer and let them restore it properly. Still will be significantly less than their prices.
