I NEED HELP! Melbourne Australia = Rolex Free Zone

Hello forum, it's been a while since I logged in but feel I now have nowhere else to turn. I have re-located to Australia and am living in Melbourne, here's the problem...............

As well as clearly being addicted to watches, specifically the noble Rolex, I also find it somewhat of a hobby, I moved here last week and wanted to get myself a watch to start off my time here, a Explorer to be specific.

That's when it happened, I searched and searched and found hardly any dealers, I typed Rolex into ebay.com.au and there was only ONE Daytona for sale! WHAT DO I DO!

It seems that watch fever hasn't hit down under and I don't think I can survive without it.

There are three AD's in Melbourne that I'm aware of...One of them, A Rolex boutique and only just across the street from RSC Australia!

There is the watch gallery on little Collins
Antiquorum in the block arcade
Armadale watch gallery in south Yarra

Then in terms of new authoriser dealers there are a half dozen in the city.

You should come to Perth if you think Melbourne is bad....! Seems like there are lots of options.

Just a reminder not to post links to your own commercial websites on this forum. I have edited the posts concerned.

Thank you.

Also try Monards at 101 Collins. It used to be an AD. All the same it still carries a good range of (grey) Rolex. The prospects of a discount are probably greater at Monards than at Melbourne's 3 ADs. (I'm not associated with Monards in any way.)
