Morning everyone,

I'll be in LA in a few hours and am looking to pick up my first Rolex while in town.

Can anyone recommend a good and/or reliable pre-owned shop or a private seller in the area?

Thanks :-)

Hey Kris,

I'm in Hollywood on a trip now. If you get to Melrose, checkout Wanna Buy A Watch.

Phillppe Watches in BH "off of Rodeo" has some very cool time pieces. Their prices are okay. It all depends what you are looking for though.

Bhindi in Artesia for new Rolex watches are my favorite to visit. Awesome people, great selection and great prices.

I loved Los Angeles when I went! Best places are Philippes on Dayton Way in Beverly Hills. Also Geary's Rolex on Rodeo Drive. There are two Geary's in Beverly Hills, one on Rodeo and on North Beverly. The staff at North Beverly were not very nice to me. Go to the one of Rodeo Drive. There is a young salesman named Jonathan, very nice guy! I chatted with him for easily an hour in Geary's. Both Geary's have great selections. I liked the on Rodeo better! Enjoy LA!

If you get to South Coast Plaza check out the Rolex store they have an outstanding selection, they also have Ben Bridge and a Tourneau as well . There is also Bhindi in Arteisa. Have fun and good luck.

Thanks everyone. Im looking for a pre-owned (2009 or newer) 16610 Sub with the engraved Rehaut. Guess it's time for me to hit the road and start exploring lol

I second Bhindi in Arteisa. Great people and great prices, got a DSSD there this weekend for a family member. Ask for Ronil.

Bring cash and go to Philippes in BH. I bought two used Rolex there, and was very impressed. Philippe is a great guy, lots of Panerai there as well

ExplrGuy · 7 September 2011, 02:05 PM

I did just that and walked away with a Z date Sub. Couldn't be happier. Philippe was a great guy to chat with for a while.
