Where to buy AP?

New member and so glad i found this site.

I have been looking at getting an AP and have finally chosen the RO 15400 in pink gold, white dial with brown strap.

This is my problem, I live in Maine and no one sells AP or really anything besides Rolex. I have been looking online on where to buy. I have found pricing a little all over the place from retail pricing to a few thousands lower. I have called a few sellers and have mixed feelings. Can anyone recommend a place that they fell they have been treated "fairly"? I have a few things to consider, first I would rather pay a little more but get great customer service, second if I can avoid sales tax that would be great and lastly I don't want to pay retail.

any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I'm not familiar with east coast ADs so I can't help you there but I've bought many pieces from trusted sellers here on TRF and have been extremely happy with their service and pricing. I've had great buying experiences with DavidSW, JustRolexes, Perpetualman88, Takuya, and OCRolexGuy. There shouldn't be anything they can't find among that group. I'd start there, and welcome to TRF

You'll love the RG RO, I would put up a pic of my ROC but I'm on half the threads here at the mo, seems the RG RO/ROC is pretty popular now.

DavidSW hands down is amazing, you can not go wrong with him and he can source this watch no problem.

If you have any questions about him PM me and I would be happy to answer.

Davidsw is always a good choice. I bought my 15400 from Artice at cellini on Madison ave in NYC and was very happy with my service and the price. As always you have to know what the market price is and be able to negotiate .

Whatever you do, DO NOT pay anywhere near retail.
