I bought a solid gold Cartier for my wife and a TT GMT II Ceramic from bernardwatch.com. The Cartier was authenticated by Cartier USA and my Rolex looks perfect.

Bought my SS TOG at swissluxury and the watch was 100% authentic and BNIB w/ all paperwork, Rolex box, cleaning cloth, tags, etc...

Would buy from them again, no doubt!

I know of a case where a buyer bought a refurbished President from a grey dealer. Turns out, the watch and the movement, although Rolex, did not match. The watch was sold as new. RSC returned the watch and explained it was a Frankenwatch. Owner was out by as much as 75% of his purchase price. If you need to buy a Rolex, go the AD route IMHO.
