How the Melrose Jewelers Australia Preowned Rolex Standards Award Winners are Chosen:
A sample purchase is made at each online retailer website to test the company’s level of authenticity disclosure as to which parts of its Rolex watches are original and which parts are aftermarket. Once received, each Rolex watch purchased is then taken apart and inspected to make sure the watch is indeed authentic and then it is tested to make sure it keeps proper time.
The Preowned Rolex Standards Awards were designed by Melrose Jewelers, Australia’s largest online Preowned Rolex watch retailer, in order to award Preowned rolex retailers committed to excellence in product quality and product authenticity disclosure. The Preowned Rolex Standards Award is given to the top 4 online Preowned rolex watch retailers in Australia & New Zealand
