Jennifer Stano David – Another Watch Lover

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Yesterday we blogged about the educated, beautiful, entrepreneurial, watch-loving attorney Lilly Ghalichi.  Her story and photos were a big hit with our readers.

Soon after we posted the blog, a few readers pointed out that one of the beautiful women in the pictures with Lilly was also wearing a men’s Rolex.  The woman is another beautiful entrepreneur – Jennifer Stano David – and the watch is a Datejust II.  Jennifer is the founder/designer at Have Faith Swimwear.

Looks like Jennifer is right behind Lilly in the race to be crowned 2012 eRelyx watch celebrity.  We hope that the women are competitive and rush out to buy more great watches in an effort to outdo each other.

Here’s what we know so far:

Lilly 2 (Rolex President, Chanel J12), Jennifer 1 (Rolex Datejust II).

Game on.  And let us know when you need a new watch.

Know Your Retailer: Authenticwatchesonsale.com

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Our research uncovered another watch retailer that should make shoppers a bit uneasy. In the past we’ve blogged about finewatchesonsale.com and genuinewatchesonsale.com. Click here to view that blog. Those sites have amazing (and unbelievable) prices on watches. Here’s the story – you try to purchase a watch with your credit card. They contact you and tell you that they are having trouble processing your credit card. They offer an alternative payment method – Western Union. They won’t accept PayPal – that’s too easy to track and there are buyer protection mechanisms in place. Long story short, if you wire the money, you’re out of luck. No money, no watch. We had a consumer email us just yesterday with the full email exchange between him and a “sales rep” from finewatchesonsale.com sales rep.

It looks like a new site has popped up – same look and feel as the others. This one is called authenticwatchesonsale.com. Here are the two About Us pages. Look similar?  They guys are working fast and furiously to take advantage of holiday shoppers trying to stretch a hard-earned dollar.  Please comment if you have any details.

Looks like these guys just registered their website a couple of weeks ago.

Happy holidays.  And be sure to get to know your retailer before making a purchase.  And once again – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

A Watch in the Park

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

A few weeks ago eRelyx had a photoshoot featuring spokesmodel Jennifer Welsh.  The pictures turned out great.  Click here to see some of the photos.

The president of Boston-based clothing company Dressed by Christopher Cuozzo saw the pictures and knew that Jennifer would be a great ambassador for his brand.  Jennifer donned the Dressed clothing this weekend for a photoshoot in the Boston Public Garden.  Members of the eRelyx team were on hand to snap a few photos…and to make sure that Jennifer was wearing her Cartier Tank Francaise watch.

We Appreciate the Compliment

Friday, October 28th, 2011

What’s that they say about imitation being the highest form of flattery?  We agree!

Check out our old ad (that hit the cutting room floor since the male model looked so sloppy in that suit)…then look at Cartier’s new one.

(Okay…fine…our idea wasn’t original…at all…but still)

An eRelyx Love Story

Monday, September 19th, 2011

At eRelyx, we’ve made it our top priority to provide the highest level of customer service.  We want our customers to be happy.  If they’re happy, we’re happy.

Recently, we helped a customer purchase his dream Rolex through eRelyx.  When he received the watch, he thought it looked a bit too small on his wrist.  When he shared the news with us, we told him that we would gladly accept a return and issue a full refund.  The customer carefully packaged up the watch and sent it back in its original condition. Three days after the return transaction was completed, we received this hand-written heart-felt note from him.

We were so touched by the gesture that we had to share it with the world. While it’s completely unnecessary to send a note such as this, we love knowing that we’ve made a customer happy.

Peace of Mind

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

“Buy the retailer first and the watch second.”  We’ve heard some version of that phrase several times.  It makes sense.  When you’re buying a luxury watch, it makes a lot of sense to buy it from a retailer that you trust.  Why roll the dice to save a couple hundred dollars?  It’s just not worth it.

From time to time customers will ask us, “How do I know that I can trust eRelyx?”  It’s a perfectly legitimate question.  Here are a few things to give you peace of mind.

1. We’re not trying to hide who we are.  We’re happy to share our pictures & backgrounds on our About Us page.

2. We  work with many well-established jewelers (both brick & mortar and online).  We know them, they know us.  We’re happy to provide you with a reference.

3. We answer the phone.  If you call us between 9am-6pm M-F, we’ll answer your call.  (If we’re in a meeting or out to a team lunch, leave us a message – we will call you back).

4. We have an active social media presence.  Feel free to check us out on Facebook.

5. We are endorsed by iW Magazine – the world’s only monthly watch publication for both the trade and enthusiasts.

6. We have a growing number of positive reviews from our customers – feel free to go to Google and check us out.

7. We have a world class board of advisors – it is unlikely that such impressive, high profile individuals would be willing to advise a company unless it was trustworthy.  See their profiles on our About Us page.

8. If you’re local and would like to meet us, we’re happy to set up an appointment.

Hopefully you’re convinced.  If not, feel free to give us a call or email us.  We’ll see what we can do!  617-536-1900 or contact@erelyx.com

Thank you.
