Where to get a good deal on a NEW ROLEX

Hi,
Does anyone know of a good store to get a good price on a new Rolex? I would appreciate any contacts given.
Thank you!

good deals would be from trusted sellers on this forum, new at an AD would be not so much

You found the right place. I just bought a watch from a trusted seller here and could not be happier.

Check out the for sale section and the who's who and that will give you a good idea of who to trust.

Also if you're not comfortable sending money to some strangers on internet, a few of those trusted sellers are in L.A., OC area so you could drive over and do a face-to-face transaction.

Justrolexes (Tony) is in San Diego and OCROLEXGUY (Patrick) is in Orange County, just to name a few.

Edit: Btw, since this is your first post, welcome to TRF!

How negotiable are the trusted sellers on TRF?

TRF as stated, welcome to the forum. I bought my first watch through an AD. I wish I knew about TRF before I bought it. I joined the forum a few days after the purchase.

I'd go the forum route as well. As far as how negotiable they can be, there is not a lot of wiggle room. Although I'm new, I find the market for Rolex's to be tighter than a bull's ass. I'm alluding to the popular and non precious metal models. I would think the caveat would be, the higher the msrp, the more you have room as well as models that are lesser in popularity.

Buy here. Buy here. Buy here.
Word of advice... If there is a wife in the picture, don't tell her you're buying here, but do buy here. It has come up before and it turns into a whole other issue.

Thank you!
Fredric H. Rubel in either Mission Viejo or Laguna Beach. I bought my Hulk there at almost the same price OTD (within $100) of the least expensive of the Trusted Sellers here. AD experience etc. for just about the same price plus they (David) were super professional and nice. I got them as a reference from another Forum member and couldn't be happier. They will definitely get my business in the future.

Before I get my head bitten off I bought my current watch here.

However, every time someone asks he gets told to buy here. Maybe he wants the AD experience on his first watch instead of saving the most.

The AD in Addison, Illinois might be one to look at...

You can get good prices at an AD. Look at the prices here for new pieces as a reference. There is definitely an added value to purchasing from an AD.
