His prices don't look too far out of line for typical grey market dealer such as alanfurman.com.

I do not think his discounts are substantial enough to justify buying from the web and if they were any low, I would start doubting the website. You want to buy the watch you phyiscally feel and touch in an AD store or any other reputable store. Most of the times the pics shown are different than what is actually sent. So read the fine print from where you wanna buy.

Also his discounts are what AD are authorized to give to you. ADs try to sell you at full MSRP but when you FTC them (Flash That Cash), many do give discounts accordin to ROLEX set guidelines because a copy of the purchase order gets sent back to ROLEX ... it is more like a report card of the AD and ROLEX looks it over to see that the AD is not turning into mother teresa...

By the way, in the Oyster Professional series, where all the subs are, in many of the pics, the guy has cut off the crown... kind of does disservice to the watch's visual appeal I think.

I've heard of them as a good dealer. They also have some reasonable pre-owned stuff. Tough to beat Alanfurman.com and their warranty, though.

TheFinestWatches Roger Kuo

The Finest Watches store seemed big and reliable, and feedback on the site confirmed the good service at the store. I got in touch with Roger Kuo by e-mail, and he offered me a very good price on Rolex watches 16623. We agreed that the May 18, 2013 I will put to the account of this store money in the bank of America for my watch, and May 22, 2013, these watch will be delivered to my hotel in the New York. Roger Kuo sent to my email account number and instructions on how to put money to the http://TheFinestWathces..... As we agreed, I put the money to the TheFinestWatches account, but May 22, 2013 Rolex watches were not delivered to my hotel. Roger on the phone said that the dealer did not have time to send the watch. Roger Kuo offered me to bring the watch in Russia for two weeks. Prior to June 1, 2013, Roger had promised to send me a e-mail with tracking number. After I put the money on the account of TheFinestWatches, Roger did not answer any one of my email. More than two weeks I can not get through to the Fines Watches. My representative in the United States also can not get through to TheFinestWatches.
