First EBAY is not the place to buy a Rolex.
Second the FANDWATCH says the MSRP is $5200 and their price is $5700. This is not what the market is for the DJ. Remember on top of this you will have to pay 5% GST and custom clearance charges and other nitty gritty costs. Check out an AD. You can work out a discount. Go to Hour Glass in Sydney CBD or in Melbourne if you are looking for a new watch. They are pretty snobbish, but you need to be patient and work out a deal. Once they find you are genuine, they will warm up and start to chat. If you are looking for good used watch, go to NICK in Mosman. He is a top dealer, with a full workshop and a platinum reputation. If you are in Melbourne, check out ARMADALE Watches. Check them out with a search on Google. They are quite reasonable. Cheers Imtiaz |

I know ebay isnt really the safest place to buy, However i have been running an online store for several years, revenue earned from it is actually paying for this watch.
At the moment im just doing my home work, im located in brisbane so i will have to look into buying from a dealer. Although I've always been a fan of the online product diversity not to mention ever time i walk into an upper market jewler i get scoffed at, im only 18. |
