Reputable Grey Market places to buy from ?
 

I live in Texas and am looking for buy a Rolex but looking for reputable dealers in Texas or anywhere in the states everytime I find a “reputable” dealer there seems to be some sort of drama with there company going on in the background does anyone know any reputable trusted dealers I could buy from ? In the states

I've heard a lot of great reviews about DavidSW, my friend also got his Daytona black dial from them with a good deal. I'm sure you can find a lot of information and reviews on the forum about DavidSW. They have a brick and mortar store in Orlando

I have had good experiences with sohais

I believe Takuya is in Texas

And

I have had extensive positive deals w davidsw. he is solid AAA

I have good experience with Bernard's in Austin. Also Swisswatchexpo in Atlanta and The Watchbox.

Tony Geha-Justrolexes has a website www.sdwatches.com.
I’ve purchased 3 out of 4 Rolexes from him. He is a great guy. No worries at all dealing with him.

Takuya is 100% solid!!!

Capetown Diamond has a large selection at very good prices - I have bought several from them.

DavidSW is in orlando and easy to deal with. Bernard watch in Austin has a good reputation. I have bought watches from Wingates which is also in TX (tic-tock.com) and they were great. Same with Tarrytown Jewelers.

I just bought from Takuya — you are fortunate to be in the same state. No way you could go wrong with doing Slovak transaction with him.

Just got two watches from Jacek with tropicalwatch in California and the service was phenomenal. Very fast

Avoid Capetown Diamond at all costs. Super shady. If you want a no-regrets experience just go with DavidSW even if his pricing is above others (obviously negotiate).

Takuya, DavidSW, and Watch Exchange are all great.

Luxury Bazaar is another solid grey market dealer. I am doing a transaction with them and taking delivery next week.

DavidSW has a good reputation.

London based here.

Read loads on her about DavidSW (u.s based I believe)

All I would say is they aren't cheap. But you often pay more for reputation.

DavidSW and Takuya are totally legit, great chaps.

This isn’t a bad list.

Eric Wind of Wind Vintage in Palm Beach, FL. is internationally known.
He has been featured on Hodinkee.

One of the best in the vintage world. Have purchased a rare Submariner
from him.

Justrolex ( Tony ) in San Diego.

DavidSW ( David ) in Orlando.

SohAIS ( Aamir ) in Atlanta.

Have done business with the above.

Takuya I have not but he is in Texas and he is a trusted seller.

I have had two great transactions with Bernard Watch Company in Austin. The first was in the late nineties when they were in Dallas, and more recently (2020) after they moved to Austin.

Wolvyn Luxury Timepieces is in Plano Texas with a physical location you can buy in person. Highly recommend

Gallery Rare Ltd in Japan is pretty good

Great Experience with Natshville Watch
 

I just had a fantastic experience with Nashville Watch. I recently purchased a 126710BLNR, and I traded in several watches to complete the transaction. Tim and the team were very fair with their trade-in offer and completed the transaction seemlessly. I would highly recommend them.

Stay away from:
capetown Diamonds - sent me a broken watch
Watchbox/1916 company - good guys here to be honest, but turnaround time on messages, service, selling, buying a watch was very long. Maybe they're overworked?

Great experiences with:
Takuya - pleasant, great response time
Sohais - same as above
DavidSW - bought several watches here, great experiences (just be wary of overpolish)

I second this . my client BQ watches in England do a lot with them and ive meet Roman and hes a great guy

DavidSW is a class act

DavidSW really over the top and literally 1000s of high line watches..great experience if you don’t want to play the games and long waits

Reputable Dealer in Texas
 

Lone star Watch CO. In Texas. Has Anyone done business with him? Owner name is Jason Colman.

I'm pretty new here (been reading the forums for a bit but recently made an account), and I assume that Wrist Aficionado is pretty legit as they were permitted to place an ad on the site. If I'm wrong please correct me.

Thanks so much!
