Any experience or opinions about Swiss Luxury?

what do you mean Swiss Luxury ?

I believe it is a website

Pretty well known reseller, not great prices. Google "Swiss luxury" site:rolexforums.com and you'll see plenty written on here.

Have not bought anything from them but think their prices are comparable (maybe slightly higher) than other online grey dealers. I did have one unpleasant experience with one of their sales reps via email and will never do business with them as a result.

if you're going that route, I might suggest bobs. a little higher prices but there are perks.

I recommend Beckertime.

If you want a truly good deal try one of the TRF sellers. They will certainly best any of the online dealers.

Never used them but they seem to sometimes use aftermarket bracelets (which they disclose) so you may want to double check that everything is described as 100% rolex in the ad.

They seem a bit shady to me. Lots of aftermarket parts and refinished dials.

Not to disrespect the trusted sellers but I haven't found a lower price with them than with some online grey dealers. Granted, there are some more expensive than others, though.

They do use a lot of aftermarket, but as long as you ask them to confirm the watch you're interested in has everything original, you should be ok. It will also say in the item description whether anything is aftermarket or not.

What's shady about that? It is disclosed in the description, in bold letters.

In fact one of the reasons I ended up buying from them (besides price) was because they seemed a lot clearer in their descriptions than other sellers out there.

Yes, I suppose it can depend on the model. Since I had recent experience buying a new GMTIIC (116710LN) from a TRF seller I took a quick look using it as an example and found the following prices today. MSRP on this model is $8,450.

Bernard Watch = $7,995
Alan Furman = $7,830
Capetown Diamond = $7,790
Swiss Luxury = $7,707
TRF Seller (most current posting) = $7,575

I have seen even lower prices in the very recent past on TRF and actually paid less than the above for mine.

Nothing. Shady was the wrong word I guess. It just makes me uneasy about buying from them. Just my personal feelings and opinions. I'm curious how they get their pieces. Are they buying all these watches without bracelets?

No idea. Maybe they replace the ones that are in really bad shape? When I bought mine they had another one available for a few hundreds less but the wear and stretch on that one was really noticeable, so I passed.

"Should be ok" isn't good enough if I'm parting with thousands of dollars. I would steer well clear of Beckertime, too many dissatisfied customers: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=95082

X 2 this is good advice

[jvmartin]

Beckertime and Swiss Luxury are apples and oranges. Swiss Luxury sells all original unused pieces, Beckertime sells refurbished vintage pieces with aftermarket parts.

swiss luxury is a great place to buy rolex..... depending on what you want they beat the sellers on this site by quite a bit. just do your homework on pricing.

All I have to talk in favor of Beckertime is my own experience, which was a positive one. When I was buying the seller, that thread you referenced showed up, along with a bunch stuff scattered over the web. I read EVERYTHING I found about them. In the end I felt I would be safe buying from them and that was the case.

I don't know what they did in the past, but seems that a lot of people have them in poor regard, again, from my experience everything panned out alright.


They have 19k + sales on ebay plus whatever they sell directly on their website, you don't get to that by selling fakes.

OP best of luck.
