Walked into my local AD the other day (Victoria, BC), hoping to buy myself a new watch. To my surprise they are not carrying Rolex anymore! They still had some left over stock left but mostly womens.

Now there is no AD on Vancouver Island. I am disappointed to say the least!

I know many members will say to buy from a trusted seller, but import tax + PST/GST into Canada doesn't usually make it worth it.

Any suggestions on AD in Vancouver or Alberta?

Thanks for all your help and I just needed to vent!

brinkhaus along with j.vair in calgary are great. i've bought from both along with serviced with them. brinkhaus has a storefront in vancouver too with great staff and service as well.

trusted sellers and importing can possibly make sense if the sale price balances out after tariffs and shipping etc.. looks like you're doing the research so you'll find options that work.

good luck.

Hey Chewbacca, thanks for the tips. Did you buy over the phone with brinkhaus and j.vair since you live in vancouver?

Thanks

Could you pm me the links as well? Thanks!

To the op I buy from Montecristo at Oakridge mall in Vancouver, ask for Gianni or Michael two very nice gentlemen. I have always gotten a fair deal from them.

I was travelling through Vancouver a few weeks back and bought my BLNR from Brinkhaus off the shelf - was surprised they had one on the shelf! Vijay provided great service.

Brinkhaus in Vancouver and Calgary are both very good. The top trusted sellers here do ship to Canada also; send them a PM.

tma888 · 4 January 2014, 08:03 PM

Hello, appreciate if I can also get a PM of the trusted sellers in Canada. Thank you.

SMcF · 5 January 2014, 02:40 AM

Can I make it three for a PM on trusted Canadian sellers? Cheers.

Brinkhaus is my favorite AD in BC as it carries Patek, Rolex and other brands. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Palladio is directly across the street from Montecristo jewellers on Hastings which is also a good place and both carry Rolex so you could check them both out.

Can you get good discounts at Brinkhaus in Calgary?
