Where should I get a dd40?

I went to 2 Rolex stores this past weekend to try on the Day Date 40mm as one store was sold out of the yellow gold and only had rose gold.

After both stores I have yet to see all of the dials as both stores had a few models not all.

In store the rose gold retails for $37,500 but I already see these watches pop up online for 27k and yellow gold for $25,600

What is my best option? save 10 grand or go all out knowing I am getting everything legit with warranty card.

How are some able to sell the new 40mm DD for as low as $25,600?

Best option, imho. I've bought two from David. Totally legit and worry free.

much cheaper from a trusted seller here. There are some people who have a relationship directly with Rolex and can buy several watches from them at a time at a significant discount to resell them to people. They're like independent dealers.

If you are buying from a trusted seller all is legit anyways and you save 10k ++ not worth buying a gold piece from the AD without a discount.

If you are dead set on using an AD, then do it. If not, a trusted seller would be the logical option. You can use the $10K towards another watch purchase.

Personally, if I could save that much money on a purchase, I would.

Also some Mom & pop AD's might be able to do 20% if you push for it on PM's (precious metals). Cut throat pricing will be only come from trusted seller.
