Hello from Western Australia - Nervous First Time Buyer

[Susimoo]

Hi everyone

Thought I'd come over and introduce myself.


I love jewellery, in particular, diamonds. I am on numerous jewellery forums and over the years have made great friends, all around world, from this hobby. As a result of frequenting those forums, watches started to feature more and more in my thoughts and subsequent wish list.

I am new to Rolex and was directed here by another watch enthusiast.

I recently visited the only two AD's in the area and ended falling in love with Datejust Lady 31, with the silver dial with diamond markers.

I thought, style wise, I'd be more a Cartier girl, but the minute that Rolex went on my wrist, I was sold.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about buying Rolex in Australia. The issue of discounts seems to be contentious one and whilst I know what my heart desires I don't want to get ripped off either.

I have looked at the amazing sellers on here too. However with our exchange rate being what it is and taking into account GST and duty on receipt, I don't think that's an option at this time.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my introduction and thank you for all the useful advice I have found within this forum.
