www.steindiamonds.com is a legitimate gray market dealer in Rolex Watches. I have heard no complaints about people's dealings with them. Make sure you click on the link I supplied as I can only guarantee this is the Stein Diamonds website that I have been on many times, looking to buy watches. I don't know if this is the one you were looking at.

I understand your feelings. Too many cons out there. They have been in business a long time (over 25 years) and seem to be pretty reputable. The nice thing is the wire prices are lower so you can get some nice deals. The only difference with gray market is the warranty is not going to be honored by Rolex itself. The warranty for a Rolex is one year for the original owner. If you buy from a gray market dealer they usually have their own warranty policy. Stein Diamonds offers a lifetime warranty on the Rolex watches they sell. I think you'll be fine buying from them.

Stein Diamonds

I bought an Explorer II from them about two years ago.
Very good service NIB watch.
Had it checked out by local AD's service tech.
Great deals.

Hay...........Congratulations! That looks like you got a great, brand new Rolex. I love the Sea Dweller. It may not be around much longer so you probably got it at the right time. Please post some pictures of it in the Rolex Pictures section.

Looks like Stein came through for you.

Again, congratulations on your first Rolex. (Not the Last I'm sure)

Welcome to the club.
