First off, you got your *official* Rolex dealers. Those guys. Deutsch Jewelers on Westheimer, yeah, that’s where they are, according to the, uh, official website. I *assume* they got the real deal, brand spankin’ new Rolexes. But lemme tell ya somethin’, getting your hands on the *specific* one you want? That’s another story. Waiting lists, my friend, waiting lists. Might as well be waitin’ for the Astros to win the World Series… again! (Go ‘Stros!).
Then you got the pre-owned market. Now *that’s* where things get interesting. You got Ace Watch Company, claimin’ to be the “number one” buyer. Bold claim, Ace, *bold* claim! I haven’t personally gone there, but I’ve heard things. I mean, “top prices” for your Rolex? Sounds like a good deal if you tryna sell, maybe? Dunno, I’d shop around.
And de Boulle – or rather, the blurb says Zadok Jewelers is where the serious Houston collectors head for pre-owned. Hmm. Okay. See, this is where *I* get a little skeptical. I like the idea of a pre-owned Rolex, especially if you’re lookin’ for something vintage or a little more unique. But you gotta be CAREFUL. You don’t wanna get stuck with a Franken-watch, ya know? A watch pieced together with random parts. It’s like buyin’ a used car… gotta kick the tires, lift the hood, get a feel for the engine. In this case, get a watchmaker to take a look!
Oh, and Thomas Markel Jewelers? They are authorized too, apparently. The pre-owned market is what I’m into. They say they got ladies Rolexes.
Then there’s the whole “luxury watch Houston” thing… with watch winders and corporate gifts? Okay, that feels a little off-topic, TBH. It’s the internet, though, and everything’s gotta be “related,” right?
