Buying an older Rolex online or?

I don't know why I hunt a Rolex online. When I find one I want, I have not been able to send money. In person, yes. I've bought 2 new Rolex Daytona's in a Rolex store, and very happy with them.

I want a Daytona Zenith model and there are literally hundreds online. l could buy from a walk-in store if the store is a Rolex dealer, or a long time owner, but how do you find these sellers?

Quite a few ways to do it. Start with the 4-5 sellers we have at the top of the for sale section. David, Takuyah... etc. these guys can get you what you want and are very trustworthy. I wouldn’t risk it with a zenith Daytona, you’re going to pay top dollar might as well buy it from the right place.

I’ve bought my two vintage Rolex watches in person with HQ Milton.

I’ve never bought one in a store
Just last week I bought an AP via text

All about what/who you’re comfortable doing and dealing with. The guys I know and have dealt with in the past I, obviously, wouldn’t blink about doing a deal with.

Why can't you send the money? I'm not understanding the question.
