Is this dealer reliable?
I am new to this forum, but I bought my first Rolex in 1976 while I was working in Singapore. Places like Singapore and Hong Kong were the cheapest to buy luxury watches in those days. Got mine from a Rolex dealer with a 22% discount! Don't know about discounts these days.
Anyway, I am think of getting another Rolex and I came across a grey market dealer, Alan Furman in Maryland. Is this dealer reliable (not fake stuff) with good prices? Many thanks in advance. |

Alan Furman has quite a good reputation and a real bricks and mortar store that got to be a bonus when not buying from AD.

These days you would be lucky to get a 5% discount on the recommended retail price. Payment by cash of course.

Very reputable. I have been in there many times, though not to buy a Rolex.
