Best grey dealer in service/price

I bought my YM form a Rolex dealer and am thinking of getting a blue sub possibly from the grey market. Which GM dealer is thought to be best in terms of price/service? Thanks

I would have to say Alan Furman I know a few people who have purchased from them and used them for service and never a problem.

From what I have seen, everyone loves this alan furman, but for 200-500.00 diff in price, I would rather buy from an AD. But thats just me. When I spend 4000.00+ on somthing, I dont care about 200.00 more for piece of mind.

I support Allen Firman as well, but had good luck with Grey and Sons in Bal Harbor (Miami) as well, they have an extreemly big collection, large catalog which they will mail you, and a very nice store if you ever go to South Beach.
Google Grey and Sons

I called Furman and they were very nice and seemed on the ball. Haven't decided yet and if I buy it you all are totally to blame--I was perfectly happy with my one YM till I got on this site. Back to grey market it is really more than $200-500 isn't it? Do they charge any tax?
