Bob's Watches is an online marketplace for the resale of Rolex watches based in Huntington Beach, California.

The company is the first to introduce and offer used watches through a process called the Rolex Exchange in which they list the buy and sell price of each timepiece.

They have a patent filed in the United States as the only e-commerce company to utilize the exchange concept.

A certified pre-owned car or CPO is a type of used car.

Most often late-model, they differ from other used cars by having been inspected, refurbished, and certified by a manufacturer or other certifying authority.

They also typically include an extended warranty, special financing, and additional benefits.

Luxury marques Lexus and Mercedes-Benz were among the first to create CPO programs in the 1990s.

There are variations as to what is termed certified pre-owned, so the distinctions are important.

Manufacturer (or "factory") CPO vehicles are only sold at authorized dealers specializing in that particular franchise.

Factory CPO cars are generally five years old or newer and have less than 80,000 miles.

They often cost more than vehicles certified by independent authorities, and are higher priced than a non-certified used vehicle.

Independent programs can represent good value and an alternative to an OEM program.

Independents may hold a vehicle to a higher standard than an OEM, or may be less stringent in their inspections.

A sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body for the sales of certain goods and services.

Usually laws allow (or require) the seller to collect funds for the tax from the consumer at the point of purchase.

When a tax on goods or services is paid to a governing body directly by a consumer, it is usually called a use tax.

Often laws provide for the exemption of certain goods or services from sales and use tax.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner is a line of sports watches designed for diving manufactured by Rolex, known for their resistance to water and corrosion.

The Rolex Submariner is part of Rolex's Oyster Perpetual line.
