Greetings... The moment has arrived. Can you help?

Greetings and salutations,

I've been dreaming/thinking/wishing/hoping for this moment for a long time.

I am finally ready to take the plunge and join the ranks of you fine gentlemen and ladies.

Any advice on purchasing my first Rolex?

I have had my eyes on the classic black stainless Submariner, and I see the new 2010 model JUST came out at BaselWord. Model: 116610LN

New Submariner on Rolex.com

Where is the best place to buy? In person? Online? Does Rolex set their prices everywhere or can I shop around?

Thanks very much for any advice you can provide.

Cheers,

J.C.
