![]() ![]() I would like to ask a question about where I should get my first Rolex. I want to get a TT-Submariner w/ blue dial. There is an AD in my town who has the watch priced at $7825. I saw an exact watch at www.swissluxury.com priced at $6038 (if paid w/ wire transfer). I am thinking about buying it at www.swissluxury.com since it's less expensive. Do you guys know if they are good people to buy a Rolex from? I am afraid to buy from internet vendors for the fear of receiving fake Rolex. Please help me to make a good decision. ![]() |

Welcome to TRF.
I have heard that swissluxury is an OK company - but that is second hand. Also good companies to deal with are Alan Furman.com, and Bernard watches Perhaps some others will chime in about your choice... ![]() |

I have never dealt with them but I have heard both good and bad from other members. I think it was Mike who said another site lists them in their "bad guys" section I believe it was called. Alan Furman seems to have a pretty good reputation and they have a brick & mortar shop in Maryland. Good luck.

MY AD will sell you a new one 10% off. No sales tax. About $7000 out the door. They won't ship though. If you make it out to Oregon, I'll set it up for you.

I ended up getting my SS TOG at swissluxury.com and I would deal with them again. The watch was 100% as advertised and exactly as it should come with all boxes, papers, etc... It also came with the warranty card.

Go ahead and buy it for MSRP from your local AD. You won't lose any sleep over it and you'll always have peace of mind.

Thanks for your posts!!
Thanks for the posts. I will try either the AD or Alan Furman. Alan Furman sent me an email today saying that they will match the price of TT Sub Blue @ $6038 that is being offered by swissluxury.com (Alan Furman's cost was $6250). Since Alan Furman has a better reputation in our forum, Alan Furman will most likely get my business unless my AD in town is willing to negotiate.
Thanks All~ ![]() |

The sole reason I chose swissluxury over Alan Furman was that I was told by another forum member that swissluxury includes the warranty card/paperwork for their Rolex items. When my Rolex arrived, sure enough the warranty card was included with the purchaser's name area left blank. Regardless, good luck! ![]() |

Tripp11,
What do you mean by warrenty card was included. Was it Rolex warrenty card? or swissluxury,com warrenty card? Probably a swissluxury.com warrenty card if I had to guess...... |

Hoskilee
Alan Furman sends you all the paperwork too, including the Rolex warranty card, for what it's worth. But don't be confused by this claim from any grey dealer....If you had a warranty issue, Rolex was given the purchase date that watch was sold on by the original AD who sold it to the Grey Dealer... You would most likely have to produce both the warranty card and an invoice from the original AD whom Rolex sent it to. If things don't match they will deny a warranty claim...They will still repair it, just not under warranty. Never-the-less, what Alan Furman does do.....they give you their own lifetime warranty on a Rolex sold by them, and they have watchmakers on staff at their Maryland Store. ![]() |

Another option is the "for sale" page in this forum. I believe there are several TT blueys for sale. Good luck on you search.

I'm not saying what Rolex does is right, I'm just saying they have asked for the receipt when things don't match. As I've said, when the original AD sells the watch, whether to a Grey Dealer or Customer, as part of inventory control and re-stock....that watch serial number is identified as sold. When a customer fills out their own "open papers" they will not match.. But let me also say, I have never seen "open papers" from a Grey Dealer except for purchaser name....they have always had the date stamped of the date of sale.. For those papers, my guess would be that any name filled in would be normal. |
