"grey market"

Afternoon all

New poster so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Me and my partner are due to marry in a few months and would like to both get a Rolex.

With costs of weddings extremely high. I've seen some watches on the so called grey market.

Does anyone have any advice on buying in said market. Or should I just avoid it. The place that I've seen them is quite a reputable dealer of watches but isn't an authorised dealer as such.

Should we just wait until we can go in somewhere like GoldSmiths and buy from there. The savings that we have seen are upwards of £1500 per item. They are all boxed and have the relevant paper work.

But having never bought one I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for.

Thanks all in advance

The very best thing you can do is educate yourself by spending an hour or so researching the forum for information on the grey market, specific sellers in your area and TRF trusted sellers that ship worldwide. Use the search feature. Your diligence will help you buy with confidence and save yourself some serious money.
