Looking for an honest company in Europe

I live in Israel. When I look at the local classifieds, I see 50 expensive Rolex watches for sale, 40 of which come with all the necessary certificates. There are very few jewellers in the country that buy Rolex watches, so it's a buyer's market here. What I'd like to do is buy used watches here and fly to Europe to sell them to a store that buys used watches. (My wife speaks all the European languages, so language will not be an issue for me.)

Can anyone here recommend such a store for me?
Thank you.

So you want to buy watches from an expensive region and then sell them where they are cheapest in the world already?
Not sure if that's a good business plan...

You are joking us?
First you wanted to sell on Ebay, now buy-->fly to Europe-> and sell to people there that can get them easily anyway.

I have been to Israel many times - I never found anything cheap, that could be easily resold in UK.

you will need a very cheap contact to under cut what dealers pay wholesale

Buying in Europe and selling in Israel - very interesting. Hadn't thought of that. But then I'd have to to buy a model I know I could resell, and I'd have to find a dealer in Europe I can trust who sells them cheaply. I can Google around to figure out the first question, but I have no idea about the second.

Adam, have you ever checked the "used items for sale" website, known here as yad2? I checked how much people are asking for their watches and I'm astounded by how cheaply they're selling them for compared to their retail price (as listed on watchquote.com). You wrote you never found any cheap watches here, but I assume you checked only the retail outlets, not the internet sites that sell used jewelry.
