Buying 114060 Pre-Owned Value Question

[JustBlueFish]

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting a 114060 Submariner and I am wondering is there really a lot of value in buying pre-owned? I've heard over and over that buying a Rolex pre-owned is the way to go. Perhaps I don't know the best places to look, but I've been on a half dozen different pre-owned dealer websites and checked the sales area here, and I'm not finding many beating the price I'm getting offered from my local AD.

MSRP is $7500, my AD is offering me 10% so I can pay $6750 for new in box w/ warranty. The majority of pre-owned pieces I'm finding have higher asking prices, or a few at best are a couple hundred dollars cheaper.

With that in mind is there really any reason to not buy new, or am I looking in the wrong places? I have noticed a few individual/private sellers with better prices but I'm not willing to take a risk and buy from a non-trusted seller.

What are your thoughts? Thanks!
