Icon7 Newb from NorCal. Beat way to send $ for purchase?

Hey guys! Looking to buy a couple Rolex watches (newer model sub and newer model GMT2)but am very nervous about authenticity. What’s the beat way to send money as a buyer and have some protection? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TRF.

If the sellers are willing to take a credit card or PayPal, both provide protection for you. Because these have been abused by scam artists, most private sellers will not accept them.

If that is the case, your job is to do your due diligence. Check the sellers references. Confirm their identity, a facetime call.

Safest option is to only deal with trusted sellers found in the classified section here at TRF. Such as, DavidSW, justrolexes, TAKUYA, SohAIS, OCROLEXGUY. There are others, use the Who's Who forum to check them.



Good luck

Welcome Roger.

Authorized Dealers are the no risk way to play Rolex, but you may have to wait a bit depending on the reference.

We also have amazing trusted sellers here that you can contact and they also provide zero risk, but you may pay a premium
