New or used? If he's not planning on using an AD, buy from a trusted seller here on TRF, and have the seller send it to his hotel in Vegas.

The used market is weak here in Vegas. Pawn shops are still way overpriced, and its a huge mash-up of Franken watches.

Buyer beware here in Las Vegas

I would think it could be found at any of the large ADs there easily. Good luck on a discount though. That coke will be expensive!

There is a good Rolex boutique in The Venetian who last year said they could get me a Everose Yacht Master by the end of my holiday so they must have good links somewhere. Worth an ask anyway.
Good luck.
Andy.

Buying in the USA from an AD will work out significantly more expensive compared to the UK. List prices are higher, there's also sales tax to factor in, and a big lump of duty and VAT upon returning to the UK. Any further weakening of the GBP will make his purchase even more expensive.

He's probably better off going to his local AD in the UK.

Not the answer you wanted, but there's little point overpaying for the sake of it?
