Pre owned Rolex in Melbourne, Australia

Hi,
I am new to the forum, I have been reading a lot and learning from all of you.
I currently live in Melbourne (got here 3 months ago, coming from Brazil).
In Melbourne I saw visited two sellers of pre owned Rolex and would like to know the feedback from fellow members of the forum who knows them:
.The Watch Gallery
And
.Watchtime

I did a search here in the forum before posting, it has been a couple of years since they were mentioned here.
I would really appreciate if the members from Melbourne, Australia could give a feedback.
Thank you!

Hi
Both of the dealers you mentioned have been around for years and as far as I’m aware are ok to deal with. Have you checked out the watchvault? They always have a good selection with reasonable prices and are based just outside of Melbourne other than that I can recommend a couple of dealers in Sydney

Forgot to mention I used watchtime a good few years ago and they were ok to deal with. I know they’ve moved since then but are still in the city. And as mentioned before Luxuria watches in Sydney always have some great watches and I can recommend them

Swiss Emporium on Collins St is worth a look.

Welcome to Melbourne. This my first post and thought it was a good time as any to jump in as I have done business with both of these dealers. They are both good, both offer 1 year warranties and both have similar pricing. If you are going for a trade I would recommend The Watch Gallery as they usually offer the best deal, you can also usually get a slight discount off the asking price with them. Another good one in Melbourne is Watch Collector. Anyway good luck with your purchase, now you just need to pick a football team, may I suggest the Carlton Football Club.

I did visit them, one thing that I did not like much is that they do not have prices in their website (you need to send an inquiry for each piece) so I went to the store and they do not have the prices there. I was asking prices and the person who I was talking with would go and ask somebody else for pricing.

Thank you very much for your feedback and welcome to the Forum! As for the watches, I am still undecided about it. As for the football, yes Carlton Football Club!

Welcome to TRf.

There are quite a few footy teams to choose from and any team but Collingwood is a great choice…

PM me if you have a specific Rolex model in mind.

I have bought from watch vault .
The guy who runs it, Dane, is a very good guy and very honest.
You will be fine if you deal with him, he is very good and you will not be disappointed.

Swiss emporium are also great people. I haven’t bought from them but I visit and they are a good family business.

Good luck!!!

And Collingwood are your team
