Bought my wife a Tudor Claire De Rose with the diamond dial and a Tissot for my daughter…..
Would be a long-term customer and spend many thousands more AFTER being allocated a Rolex, but I’m not going to spend a pile of money to still get a “no”. This thread introduced me to the gray market. I bought my new, still stickered, Omega 300M from DavidSW. The customer experience was good though a little pricier than the average on chrono24 or WatchCharts. I’d rather be an ADs customer….but now have more comfort with the idea of gray. |

Recently Mayors in Boca Raton had several men’s Rolex watches available to walk ins, if you don’t mind the drive from NW FL. Worth a shot at retail prices and staff was very friendly. Plus had Rolex magazine #12 available.

New buyers could obtain most current production watch from the AD if they're patience enough and follow up once in a while. However, those popular watches GMT or Daytona could take some luck and pre-spend history.. Maybe the only time I will consider buying from secondary market if the watch is either discontinued and/or at below MSRP. |

Could fly into Miami and rent a car. I’ve always been told that ADs try to sell only to “local” customers. Is that urban legend? |

Boca had a TT Wimbledon, TT Datejusts. Just showed me what was available, didn’t ask if I was local.

Op, some very good points have been made on this tread. Welcome to TRF , first
With me, I would never go grey at any price, it ruins the Rolex experience for me. None of the trusted sellers here would sell you a fake watch, they have too much to lose and they are real businesses DavidSW is very big company and as a CEO you understand the implications of doing this. Legal,Reputation, etc….. Since you have waited this long, I believe your problem has been the AD you have chosen and some back luck, market conditions 3 years ago. The AD is the most important part in this equation and it can mean the difference between success and failure. So choose wisely. The whole Rolex purchasing process can be very frustrating but you should keep trying once you make that first purchase it will get easier. Keep trying and follow up. Once you have a relationship things will change and the market is also changing right now, a DJ or a bluesy should not be that hard to get. There is no secret code or handshake to buy a Rolex. I have been there myself and have been a watch enthusiast all of my life, all the AD games and nonsense spend history.. This was never the case in the past. Happy Hunting, |
