Hi All,

Has anyone ever heard of or done business with SwissLuxury.com? Are they legit?

I often use that site for refrence. Its a nice site to look at Rolex models and get the retail price. They have been around for a few years now and I'm pretty sure their legit but of course grey market. My advice is take their best price to your AD and negoiate from there. Of course buying from them gives you a nice discount and no sales tax, but its often said when buying Rolex or any other multi thousand dollar watch its nice to see it in person first.

Here's the link: http://www.swissluxury.com/

I go there sometimes just to check and compare prices! Comes in handy if you need a quick price look-up!

FWIW: On another forum we all used to frequent, there were some serious problems with them. Not selling fakes, but they would take orders, then source the watch, so it sometimes took weeks or months to get what you paid for. They have also had a million different names, swissluxury, atlantictime, pacifictime are all the same company. Just MHO, but buyer beware, go through an AD or a reputable seller off one of the big sales corners.

Yup, on another forum they are listed in the "bad guys" section.

For anyone else thinking of buying there, just do your homework first.

Yes agree with Daren had a couple reports of late delivery on my other
forum.Don't think they are out to rob anyone, but advertise watches they just don't have.

I don't believe swissluxury is the same as the others you've mentioned as swissluxury is located in California while atlantictime and pacifictime (which I personally know to be the same company) are located in New York. I came real close to doing business with atlantic time even put an order through with them, only to be contacted by a very rude saleswomen who insisted they wouldn't sell me anything unless I faxed them a copy of my drivers license and SS card. I figured I have already provided them with my CC # the CC security code and all my personal info for shipping (all done on the website) by the way the CC security codes lets the merchant know your billing address and verifies you are the card holder. But she insisted on the other identification also, I refused and informed her I wasn't comfortable giving away every personable piece of info about myself and that if she simply call my CC they could verify my idenitiy. Well after that she says sir thats just to bad we have the watch in stock but your not getting it and hangs up. Of course I didn't pursue the matter any further figuring if this was their attitude now imagine what was to happen if I had some sort of problem with the product.
