Does this sound right?

Hey guys
I just got off the phone with Vladdy's diamonds located in New york's canal street and inquired about a few rolex watches ranging from 20k to 115k. I talked to the owner and was told i could get a discount of 15% on all watches under 30k and 25%OFF on all rolexes over 35k. The owner guarantees they are all authentic and from rolex but i find that type of a price hard to come by. He also hinted about me not paying tax if i come to the store. I wanted to know what you guys thought of this and if any of you have dealt with this store before! Thanks

Sounds scary. I would save that much from one of the trusted sellers here and still pay no taxes. The only difference is you'll be able to sleep at night.

He's a very reliable seller with tons of videos on youtube to prove it.

If that's not enough his upscale street address should put your mind at ease.

I've seen his videos and he's pretty funny. Not sure about his business though but I'd imagine he's fine to deal with if you want a "iced" out watch.

He isn't an AD so he can discount whatever he wants. They are all grey market watches. The store is located on Canal Street and hasn't moved in 20+ years so if you're worried about receiving a fake, I doubt it would happen.

Go in for a face-to-face transaction when in NYC. Ive been in the store but have never bought anything.

If he is not one of the greasiest salesman I have ever seen...............; I just cannot believe this guy is still in business. I guess it is true what they say "there is one born every minute."

Very entertaining videos!

I showed them to wifey now she wants to go there! Diamonds & gold are her speciality.

Anyone notice Vladdy's shop has no visible security like grills and shutters? Also no security guy in the shop either.

Makes you wonder what would happen to somebody foolhardy enough to rob his shop

Any time you use ROLEX and CANAL STREET in the same sentence, it is the beginning of a freak show....

Any reputable dealer/seller would not want "Canal Street" on their business card.

That's because all the videos are shot in the basement ----

If you buy from him and something goes wrong and you complain to Paypal,
and the paypal person asks you who you bought it from and you say Vladdy Daddy ----- I can hear paypal laughing in your face!!!

After listening to Vladdy, my AD sounds like he graduated from Harvard Medical School!

You're on a role... Have you ever been to NYC?

Canal street has everything from a $1.00 egg roll to a $10M condo. You think it's not possible to find a real Rolex?

BTW- Nobody on Canal openly sells fakes of any kind anymore

I was dropped to Canal street, but smack in the middle of it --- and yes, I was assuming that one side of canal street is quite shitty but the otherside must be extravagant --- and by the way $1.00 egroll is prettu expensive --- I would atleast expect 2 for a dollar!
