Help on where to buy a couple of Rolex watches

[ftgokie01]

I am looking to purchase some watches. I also would like to purchase all of these watches from 1 dealer and I am wanting to purchase these pre owned...or new if I have to.

I am wanting a DSSD James Cameron, a Rolex Explorer II white or black dial (doesnt matter which dial honestly) and a 36mm Datejust. Also wanting to buy my wife a Cartier Tank Francaise Mother of Pearl Steel Ladies Watch.

My son is in the Army was just selected to be a member of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. I want to buy him a Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze Black Dial.

The cheapest place I have found to purchase all of these watches is the SwissWatchExpo website which is in Atlanta. I have looked at Luxury Bazaar, David SW, Grand Caliber and a cpl others.

Does anyone know of the best place to purchase these watches other than the place I have found?

(edit) I am willing to fly anywhere in the continental US to purchase these watches.

Thank you all for your help.

Stick to the places you’ve already found. The way you’re inquiring is just inviting unwanted attention and potential trouble. That’s my

I’d go with a trusted seller here. I bet they can put together a fairly reasonable package deal on these

Agree. Based on prior experiences here on TRF, I'd expect some sketchy (though some legitimate) incoming PMs from the forum.

What you are looking for should be achievable and you will see more trusted resellers than the ones you mentioned

Im not gonna buy from an individual. I am gonna be buying from a dealer that sells pre owned watches

Op, I would ask the sellers you mentioned for a price for the package and a few of the TRF sellers. See who offers you the best deal and have them delivered to you.
No need to travel unless you would a road trip.

Cheers,

I’ve had good experiences with a few sellers here. The ones I can personally recommend and will vouch for are Takuya, Brian Briboxer and Sohais. Stay safe and happy hunting. Thank your son for his service.

Why do you want to buy them pre-owned?
Trying to buy them cheap can be unsafe.

"Why do you want to buy them pre-owned?

If they are from a trusted seller how would it be unsafe, or if I go to their storefront in person, why would it be unsafe?? And, I dont want to be put on a waiting list and wait months and months. I want to go to a store and buy them right then and there instead of waiting forever. I am on a list at 3 local stores for a Submariner ad I have been waiting almost a yr......so, that is why I asked of any trusted sellers that may possibly be cheaper than the ones I am currently looking at

Thanks, that is what I plan on doing. But I retire from the VA in 29 days and I am just looking for a reason to go on a road trip on the Harley...or fly.

I think in this market you may be able to negotiate a somewhat significant price reduction compared with the price shown on a dealer’s website.

Then when you factor in the idea that you would like to buy five watches at once, I would think some dealers would bend over backwards to get that sale.

Good luck!

As long as you don't fall for people masquerading as those trusted sellers or that their storefronts are the real ones, sure.
It sounds like you know what you are doing then just follow through.

Not for you but it amazes me how people would fall for scams just to save 1000 on a watch that costs 10s of 1000s. There are also cases of people falling victim to robbing and fake watches when dealing face to face in a bank so that was the reasons I suggest that you might as well buy from AD.

I'm sure if you went to an AD and you actually are willing to buy those watches on the spot with MSRP including your Submariner then the AD would make it happen within reasonable timeframe (assuming there is an AD that sells all these watches).

Best of luck and be safe.
