Best place for new IWC?

Long time Rolex owner but thinking I'd like to add an IWC.
Prefer buying new with box, papers, etc for a few reasons.
I know about the trusted sellers here.
Just starting my research. According to the IWC website models can be ordered online from there.
Also I saw a few on Amazon.
Anywhere else other than the normal watch websites (Chrono, etc) I should check?
Thanks all.

Recommend not ordering directly from iwc online unless you want to pay full retail. I love iwc but value retention is not great.

Prefer to walk in the physical shop to enjoy the whole process of buying a IWC especially if paying at retail price. But I have a hard time convincing myself to pay retail price for a IWC unless it is not available in grey or pre-owned dealer.

The rule of thumb is 20% off.
