I wouldn't take anything of that guy if he was giving it away!!!!

I'd stay away well away and tell everyone you know to do so too.

Agreed. He has a history of controversy.

I didn't have an issue dealing with him and found him quite pleasant, but he has a chequered history on TRF and he's not well thought of by at least one Sydney Rolex AD I've spoken to.

As for his Rolex prices, on the model I was looking at, he was trying to sell a fairly recently released second hand watch for a more than new price, but he's not the only Sydney second hand dealer I've caught doing that. I did notice a while back that he had a Hamilton (not available in Australia) that he'd listed for not only way above US MSRP, but three times the price I bought it for elsewhere.

I think his prices are high. Even though they whack GST onto you, it's still worth your while to shop overseas from trusted sellers here in TRF.
