Hello from Brooklyn

Greetings all.

I officially got the Rolex bug about 2 years ago. But, it was casual. Now, I'm actively searching for the first one. Sadly, I tried to buy one online last year and almost got scammed. I thought I learned my lesson until I purchased what I thought was a mint condition w/ papers & box 116610LV on Grailed for $3500(after talking him down from 7k, which seemed too good to be true) and then suddenly the seller doesn't exist. I digress. Needless, to say, I'm excited to learn more and buy my first REAL Rolex. I'm looking forward to all your help.

Looking forward to being on the forum.

ST

Welcome. Also in Brooklyn. Hope you foiled the scam before you parted with money?

Trusted sellers here seem the cheapest way to go without being scammed. I have bought from multiple guys here and as long as you do some due dilligence you should be fine.
