Please buy your dream watch. You may choose to buy from an AD or from trusted members here in the forum. This is my understanding. It all depends on your budget and intensity of desire. Good luck and once you buy, let us know!

In my best recomendation don't settle. Wait for the "one" it may take you more time (sorry about the pun) IMO buying a rolex is a huge step in ones life. It should be the one that is right for you. Even if it takes a few more years it's very important. The last thing you want to do is buy one "because you can" and then regret not getting the one you truly want.
As you know a rolex is just not another watch. What's on yout wrist now is another watch. Don't SETTLE...

Welcom, nansha. If NJ is anything like NYC, I can tell you there are no ADs that are willing to negotiate on Subs.
Good luck with your search!
