She is getting an insurance settlement after losing her Tag and has some money to spend. I am going to try and have her get a Datejust, but with the amount of money she has to work with she will need to get a used one.

Where can she find a dealer that won't sell her a fake, or even an original without a bunch of after market junk on it?

I am conerned with aftermarket parts because if she needs to send it to Rolex for service they will not be happy with all the add ons.

Get in contact with one of our sellers here on TRF, David SW or Greg (Mosco) are top notch, and I'm sure they could help you out

Take a look at the "good guys" list in the classifieds and then see what they have to offer in your price range. You'll get a good authentic piece with no worries. David SW, Mosco, Oscar and several others all have good ratings and great comments from customers.

She is looking for a SS datejust, but wants diamond hour markers with it. Any chance she can find an authentic one for around $3,000?

Yes, That'll do it for a nice condition watch.

not a BNIB, but a nice one.

my girlfriend's dream watch is the rolex 178274
31mm - with diamond markers, fluted, and black MOP dial.

the MSRP is about $11k - so you know I've been looking used!

she might have to be happy without the diamonds and a nice grey dial.....

my wife wanted the 178273, I had to deliver. AD went down 30%. This is mid size:
