Noob - About to buy

Howzit!

I am a noob at this great forum and I am about to buy a his & her rolex (datejust). However I do have a few questions:

1. Are Rolex price negotiable?
2. Online stores such as Stein and Furman are they reliable sources?


Mahalo!!

mahalo JJ! I have an appointment with Shreve and Jade Galore (San Francisco, CA) today, my wife has been constantly on my case about buying already.

BTW, with Alan Furman, do they send the complete works when you buy from them? Thanks again

I have never personally dealt with Furman, but I do believe they will give you everything along with their own warranty on the watch.

Howzit! We finally both a pair of rolex watches Thank you very much for the input here! I bought myself the black dial datejust w/ oyster bracelet and my wife an aquablue dial w/ no date w/oyster bracelet. Sorry I dunno the exact names but I got it from a local AD here in San Francisco.


Looks like I will be addicted to these watches since I planning to buy a sporty looking one by the end of the year (one that matches my pcar )

E komo mai! You did good, Brah. You are akamai nui.

Sounds like what you've got is the classic Datejust and your wahini has the classic lady's oyster perpetual.

And if you used your negotiation skills, then all the betta' brah. Maikai.

Aloha
