How would a buyer be sure the watch was real and new coming from Costco?

You don't unless you open it up. It could be used or a return or BNIB - you'd just have to look at condition / stickers /etc

How far are you from Jacksonville? One of the AD branches here is closing and the SS/RG YM II is one of their clearance watches. Think it's at least 25-30 percent off.

I saw the exact same Rolex at the Costco in Oak Brook, IL for the same price. Not in the market for a YM2 and didn't know if it was a good price. With sales tax at 8-9%, that seems to hurt the big corporate shops like Costco that can't ship out of state vs. jewelry shops, though.

I would be unbelievably shocked if anyone ever got a fake Rolex at a Costco.

I'm Only 4 hours from Jacksonville... Actually lived there in 02 & 03 for college.


Mind shooting me over that dealer name number if handy..

would be greatly appreciated..

I'd like to go ahead and pull the trigger if it is still available with this kind of discount.

Thanks in advance

John

Spotted 2 days ago at Costco Alakawa Street in Honolulu. Not a terrible price but not too shabby either.

My girlfriend speaks highly of the diamond selection at Costco, I'd imagine this extends to the integrity of their watches though can't speak from personal experience.

Those look like pretty decent prices(?). Has anyone experienced an incredibly exceptional deal at Costco?

I have not seen a Rolex on any of the bay area costcos in the last 20 years.

Are these costcos that are pictures here in areas with not many AD's around?

Costco does not sell fake or bad items. They always give good value to customers.

I think the price is good but it takes a bit away the whole magic of purchasing a Rolex from a high end jewelry boutique where everything is targeted only towards luxury goods. Just my 2 cents!!!
Would you rather buy a pair of Nike at the Nike store or at the outlet?

Pick up a $1.50 hotdog, a case of paper towels, and a Rolex in one stop.

The Costco that had that YM2 near me has an AD at the mall within a 1/2 mile and another in my town 3 miles away.

Outlet. On a holiday weekend with the extra 40% off they run lol. Got two pairs of my favorite running shoes for $30/ea when MSRP used to be $140.

But yes, I agree on a luxury purchase.

Just wondering what other higher end watches do they carry when they have a Rolex at Costco? My Costco has a 3k Omega and a 1700 Tag and that's it.

I've seen Cartier and Brietling in addition to TAG and Omega. Never seen a Rolex in Charlotte
