I guess although rare, it's not impossible to see a Rolex at Costco.

Personally myself cannot see any reason not to buy a Rolex watch at Costco or any other place as long as the price was right.And as for the warranty well in my experience thats very seldom needed anyway.Then after any shop/grey warranty Rolex will quite happily take your money for repair or service they would not care where the watch came from.

spyderco10 · 31 July 2011, 07:35 PM

will be interesting to see if other US costcos will carry rolex.

I have heard of them being bought and returned with fake bracelets. Costco has a very liberal return policy, no one working in Costco would know the difference.

Perhaps, the two gallon size of Datejust. I have seen Brietlings at the local Costco.

I've seen Rolex at Costco here in Canada a couple of times over the last ten years, not too often. Always one particular watch, never two models.

The last one I saw was about 3 years ago, a ND Sub as I recall. I think it was around 15% off list. At the time my AD was pricing slightly better. Had I have been in the market for a ND Sub at the time, i would have gone to my AD for the slightly better price (say 18% discount) and the AD experience.

Having said that, I have no problem with Costco selling fine watches, and giving consumers a reasonably priced purchase option.

For that price, it pays to take a trip to Arizona.

z32turbo · 1 August 2011, 12:34 AM

Here is a pic I took from a Costco in Texas. I was very surprised to see them available at Costco for obvious reasons.

I'm not trying to advertise so the price has been altered.

Saw a yachtmaster silver dial for $8700 @ Costco the other day, is tht a good deal? Its my first post here so be gentle...

Lucky777 · 4 March 2013, 01:24 PM

Before anyone jumps in and begins bashing you. Welcome to the forum. Costco doesn't have the best reputation in regards to selling luxury goods. Stay away. Buy from either an authorized dealer or one of the trusted sellers here on the forum.

Lrd2sea · 4 March 2013, 01:29 PM

go check out "For sale" session and you should get a good idea,..

yemenmocha · 25 September 2013, 09:24 AM

Saw some here in Scottsdale. Didn't photograph the ladies.

Nidal · 25 September 2013, 09:28 AM

Costco is NOT AD. Watches are sold as is with no warranty.
You can always make an offer with high end watches

STEELINOX · 25 September 2013, 09:34 AM

The La Mesa location has had several pieces lately; ladies oysters, if I recall...

watchdog507 · 25 September 2013, 09:48 AM

I have seen Rolex's at Costco here in Toronto. The only models that I have seen were Men's Datejusts and Women's Oyster Perpetuals and only in steel. The clerk that I spoke with said that they do not offer "warranties" with these watches but they do offer an unconditional return policy for a full refund for 2 years. If it doesn't work, you give it back. I've never really had much of an issue with Rolex failing anyway. Who would top that?

Rani Drama · 25 September 2013, 09:53 AM

In Toronto as well i saw an amazing Limited Chopard Mille Migla GTXL Chrono Flyback for around 9k regular price on those is close to 15

BZA · 25 September 2013, 09:57 AM

is it me or is that DD pretty keenly priced?! Need to check out costco UK!

threemonkeys · 25 September 2013, 10:11 AM

I've managed to see one Rolex at Costco.

Racerdj · 25 September 2013, 10:13 AM

I'll be on the lookout when I go there from now on.

lig · 25 September 2013, 11:37 AM

I love Costco. They are from my hometown. They treat their employees well. They even treat their vendors well from personal experience.

Grey market for sure but legit watches.

They pay a dividend and are my #1 holding.

Chaching · 25 September 2013, 11:47 AM

unreal....

domenick512 · 25 September 2013, 12:01 PM

I recall seeing an Omega a long time ago, but never a Rolex.

Seen a white dial Daytona and a Kermit here in Costco. While they are not an AD and do not offer Rolex warranty they do offer their own warranty. I bought an Omega there once and was told they will warranty the watch for lifetime. It happened to develop a funny noise with the rotor a few months later. When I took it back I expected them to send it to a watch maker instead they took it back and gave me a full refund with a link taken out and no hassle! I love Costco

A few days ago saw IWC, Cartier, Omega and Breitling.

How do grey market dealers get their hands on these watches ? I have always wondered this ...
