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.

Shop around. Discounts, in this economy, are out there - but be aware that the model you want is a stainless steel sport model, and the new version of a classic, so I wouldn't expect a lot of movement on the MSRP. As to where to buy, I'd go to an Authorized Dealer in person and create a relationship - remember, you'll be back in 3 to 5 years for service on the timepiece, and that relationship will aid you then. Online may get you a slightly better price, but nothing beats a dealer-customer relationship.

Good luck.

This will prolly get a Premium "mark-up" just because its a new design...

Thanks!

Any thoughts on the new vs old Submariner?

Looks like the new one has some great features (new steel, glidelock bracelet).

Is there a place where Rolex's MSRP are listed online?

My guess is it will be $ 7.5 thousand out the door from an AD, culd be higher though, there's a impending price increase !
