newbie from LA

Hi everyone, it's great to join the forum. I've been reading a lot of the posts the past couple of days and it's been very insightful. I'm turning 40 in November and decided to buy my first rolex as a birthday present to myself. I'm pretty sure I want to get a stainless/black submariner serialM or above. It would be cool to have my first experience at an actual Rolex store but the subC there is 8k plus tax and I'm pretty sure I can save a little $ if I bought here. I am concerned about buying a fake so I'm a little apprehensive! I heard davidsw is pretty reputable, anyone have any experiences with him? BTW how do some of the sellers here sell there rolex watches for such a deal? that's the part that kinda worries me. Anyway, any and all replies would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome! You can't go wrong with DavidSW. I traveled to SoCal this past summer, and absolutely fell in love with Malibu, Redondo Beach and Beverly Hills. Redondo Beach was gorgeous, I really can't tell you how much I liked it. Here's a pic of my Invicta in SoCal.
