Icon5 Best place to buy a Rolex Datejust 2 41mm?

I would really like some help from some Rolex guru's! My husband and I just got back from Aruba and while we were there he saw a gorgeous Datejust 2 in one of the shops. I figured we would be better off coming back to the states before making the purchase because of how many imitations are out there.

He loves the watch because it's bigger than the typical 36mm but not too big.

I've been begging him to pick out a watch he likes for me to buy for him even since we got engaged, so that he can have an expensive piece of jewelry to wear as well :)

Anyway, so while I'd like to get it for the best price possible, quality and authenticity are the most important things to me. I would like to be able to purchase it before Christmas, but unfortunately we just got back from Aruba on Tuesday so I don't have much time!

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Angel, you can get out (I think) of paying tax if you buy it from my AD, and they will give a great discount as well. Call Kim at Ben Bridge in CA. 858-453-9996, last name is pronounced "YO" and tell her the Candy man sent you.

It's worth a phone call at least and good luck!

Thanks everyone for your help! I called your place Paul, and Kim was out though I did speak to another salesperson. I am also speaking to DavidSW from this site and I may purchase the watch from him. He has great reviews, but I must admit it's a bit scary to wire that amount of money to someone I don't know! However, he seems very helpful and the reviews for him are wonderful.

Really want a good deal? Head in to see her with a box of Godiva Choclates... you'll be in like Flynn!!!!

Seriously though Tony, give her a call with any questions or just to talk Rollies, she'll treat you right!

I received the watch today and it's gorgeous! DavidSW is definitely a great seller! We bring the watch for sizing tomorrow and it will be (re)authenticated... but I really have no doubt that it is real.
