Gray market sites

Looking to pick up a 216570 polar for my birthday in April but given the shortage of SS sport models my local ADs don’t have any. Haven’t had the time to go in and ask about ordering one yet.

That being said what are some trusted gray market sites?

I’ve used Jomashop for a fewer less expensive watches like Hamilton but never considered buying a Rolex through them so please throw out a few sites.

Or if you know anyone looking to sell their polar. I prefer new but if it’s in near mint condition and still has a warranty I’d consider used.

I just got a polar in December from Capetown Diamonds. They were great and worked with me to find exactly what I wanted. I would recommend them.

Just because those guys don’t have one doesn’t mean they can’t get you one. Ask if you don’t see one.

Don’t go by what you see on their sites. Contact them directly to get what you want or check on their incomings.

I bought from Jomashop before but l wouldn't buy a Rolex there. Their prices went too high anyway. One TS you can check with when your fishing is Chase at Nashville Watch. My personal experience with him on a Sub was top notch and when l still browse his inventory his prices always seem a little more friendly than most. Just my 2c. Good luck and Happy Hunting.......

DavidSW and Takuya are great. But if I were you I would put my name down at an AD and wait it out. Build some history with an AD. Going gray on Rolex right now isn’t worth it IMO. You’ll either pay the same or save a few hundred going gray market on Rolex (when it’s a 7k purchase whAts $300). If you go with an AD you’ll build a rapport and the next time you want an item you’ll have a place to go. Now if it was 2016 it’d be a different story.

Don’t think that is a hard watch to find. One of the few that are on display when I go into stores. Think I saw one in both Playa del Carmen and Texas in the last few months.
