Hello

Hello all,

I have reched the point in my life where I have earned the right to buy a Rolex and have been researching them for a bit.

I went to a local AD and they would not move on the price at all on a 116713 GMT II. So I came home and checked out ebay.

My question is - is it worth it to buy a NEW one for 1K more from a reputable EBAY dealer (mentioned several times on this site as one) or buy a Mint one from this forum?

Thanks for your assistance
