Well, if you're picking up a case of mac & cheese, might as well get a DD. Hey, while you're there, do you think you could pick me up some ginger ale & frozen dinosaur nuggets?

I don’t think Costco is a Rolex authorized dealer. If I remember correctly, omega took Costco to court and lost. Costco is acting as a gray seller. I would be careful buying from them. I don’t think they are able to issue any guaranty card for those watches

They give you their own warranty and have a money back guarantee pretty much forever. I would have no problem buying from them if the price was right.

Or how about a Porsche through their discount program. Does that matter, really?

Lifetime warranty is hard to beat.

Just for fun, I checked Walmart.com for a Daytona. In stock! (via a reseller). Costco is one non AD I would have no problems buying most things from.....especially flashlights, but thats another obsession.

A Porsche, a Rolex, some Canada Dry, mac & cheese, and frozen dinosaur nuggets sounds like a fantastic day to me, actually

No better way to celebrate a DD purchase than to wash it down with a $1.50 hot dog and fountain drink!

Not an authorized dealer, basically grey market. And who knows where they bought that from.

I think they come from a guy at the carnival who wears them six to an arm and a few around his ankle. I've heard it from good authority.

Solly- yeah but he’s quit the carni - doing so well with Costco supply chain.

Expanding into high-end jewelry too.



But here’s the real deal - warranty from Costco. Don’t like it? Bring it back.

So let’s say something went wrong with the watch, and needed to be fixed if Costco opens it doesn’t that void Rolex warranty?? I’m not trying to hate on Costco but I wouldn’t want them working on my Rolex. Also the lifetime warranty as somebody else said so I could just wear it for 10 years return it and get my full money back?? This isn’t adding up.

They don’t have a life time warranty, you can look up their policy but you won’t find anything about life time warranty

Kind of a non sequitar- as Costco is not authorized by Rolex to sell Rolex, the watch wouldn’t have a valid Rolex warranty in the first place, so their would be no warranty to void should Costco hypothetically open the watch for repair.

Costco has the best return policy anywhere. Yes, you can take the watch back after 10 years of use, they would honor your refund. I have returned mattress back to Costco after 8 months of sleep. That mattress starts to sag. People has return dried up Christmas tree in January and get full refund all the time. However, you will definitely get more money selling your Rolex than to return it back to Costco in 10 years.

No just a lifetime return policy on other than electronics.

And after five years there wouldn't be any difference.
