dumb question, when should i go for a brand new submariner

[fedorafan]

sorry for the dumb questioin, only "real" watch so far i have is an omega seamaster.

And I am planning to get a submariner very soon, but I am confused should i just go to local AD here or should i wait until i have some travel aboard such as EU country? I guess the price there will be much cheaper?

Thanks for any suggestions.

My advice: Go to the local AD, try on the watch, whip out your credit card and walk out with a Rolex on your wrist. [Also verify that you have 'everything' that should go along with the watch: box, papers, stickers, cards..etc]
If there is an issue, you can easily go back to your local AD.

Its not guaranteed you will find a certain model if you walk into a Europe store. The supply is worse here. Unless the FX/tax is such that you would save several hundred or a thousand dollars I would just buy it and enjoy it rather than stress out over saving a few dollars:thumbsup.

If you are looking for a deal, I would look in Watchrecon for trusted sellers such as DavidSW or takuya

Subs are very very common and not hard to find. Fly/ drive to a tax free state.

What is the benefit of a tax free state if you have to pay a Use tax in the state that you live in?

To get the best price for a brand new watch buy from a trusted dealer... They get them from the ad with warranty in your name..

when you say trusted dealer, do you mean 3rd party reseller or some online website?

Do you mind name a few please? thanks

Go to a local AD. Stay away from mall ADs. Go to smaller ADs, preferably those that are not part of a big chain.

Know how much you are willing to pay, offer it, and walk out with a new watch

If you are in a big city, ask this forum for good ADs in your area. Or google for them.

He means there are sellers here on the forums that offer new watches with your name on the warranty card for a nice discount.

Davidsw.com and Takuyawatches.com are two that I know of, they also post some of their watches on the classifieds section here on the forums.

Stay local and start a relationship with your local AD if you want to buy in person.
