Aloha

I’m heading over to Honolulu in a few weeks, haven’t been there for over 10 plus years. Can some of the local members suggest a few places for watch shopping ? New and pre owned? How’re the prices there?
Mahalo!

There is a Rolex boutique on the main strip in Waikiki Beach Honolulu. There is also an Omega boutique and other jewelers on the same strip. They are close to each other on the same side of the road .

The Hawaiian Rolex experience you might remember from 10+ years ago no longer exists. The selling of Rolex watches has been moved to the standard mall based or resort shopping area based retailers and prices are generally thought of to be firm on the kinds of models you'd likely be interested in.

Sure, there are occasional stories of visitors chatting up the cute and knowledgeable sales women in Maui and getting a good deal on a trade or buying a solid gold model and getting a slight discount, but going there for Rolex shopping with accommodating pricing models is the wrong reason to fly half way across the Pacific.

HNL Time is a pre owned vendor who has an impressive shop and many think his prices are fair, but we're talking about pre owned and not new in box.

For those who never experienced a Hawaiian visit with a Rolex side trip, until 2006, there were Rolex displays at many of the high end hotel/resorts at the island jewelry shop locations. Those shops were known to bargain, but that was the old model and no longer exists.

Honolulu Time Co. on Kapiolani Blvd for pre-owned.

for new there are a few rolex shops. Royal Hawaiian Shopping center in Waikiki has one. Ala moana shopping center has a rolex AD as well as a Timeworks which is also an AD.

X2. David is a cool dude with a lot of great pieces.

Not too far away from Honolulu Time is a big shopping street where you can also visit he Rolex boutique, Omega boutique, Tourneau, etc. I hit them all up in one day. My wife wasn’t too happy about it

The Ala Moana mall, not too far from Waikiki, has a Ben Bridge Rolex Boutique store as well as farther down inside the mall there is a Ben Bridge Timeworks store that has many high end brands and models. Don't think you will get much a discount any where except maybe Honolulu Time, on the pre-owned watches. Have fun and enjoy the islands. Aloha, Tim

Just bought a piece from the AD in the Royal Hawaiian Center a couple of weeks ago.
