Have you ever bought a Rolex watch in the US and shipped it to India? This is for a wedding and I am unable to travel so wondering what would be the best way to deliver. Also, any deals on Rolex right now?

Is this your first luxury watch? You need a relationship with a jeweler to get most of the good ones (which takes months + other jewelry purchases in some instances).
You can purchase from a website like Chrono24, but in this market you’ll be paying a 20+% premium

Ship it to me. I ll hand it over.

Good luck finding a Rolex. There’s a massive shortage. I’ve been on a wait list for a Datejust for the past 4 months

If I were in your shoes, I would contact local dealers and see if you can buy virtually. It is unlikely you will get a discount due to market conditions, but availability may also be limited depending on the model you’re after. You may actually get luckier in India compared to the US

Thank you both. This indeed will be my first purchase so not sure how to approach it.

Good luck and congratulations, OP! Let us know what model you like - I’m sure there’s a few collectors in the bowl. If nothing else, we might be able to recommend some alternatives if you’re having a tough time.
