Trust worthy grey market dealers in Jacksonville or South Florida

What are some legit ones where you can buy with 100% confidence other than Davidsw. Done business with DSW they’re great and all but just very overpriced. What are some good alternatives in the areas mentioned in the title?

Try
My Time Watches St. Augustine Fl
Gary Safreed

I was looking at a watch he was offering on Facebook Rolex Owners group.
I didnt buy it but he was very responsive.

I cant vouch for him other than that.
He was the featured seller of the month in that group whatever that means

Anyways…worth a try he’s not too far. Give him a ring or a PM or whatever…Report back…

Chase in Nashville seems to have good prices IMO. I know he’s not local to you, but if you know what you want he could ship you the watch

Of course it has to be Orlando based www.DavidSW.com a strong supporter of this forum. I have also done a few pleasant transactions with Gary at www.Gluxejewelers.com here in Miami.

David SW costs more for a reason, because nobody has to ask if he’s trustworthy.

True but his prices are a bit high. There are many others out there just as trustworthy as him once you do some research and vetting of them. Good dealer though.

I agree with you about DavidSW. Bought my DJ II from him many years ago, but he’s definitely a few more thousand overpriced than other grey dealers. Try AIS watches in Atlanta. The owner is Amir and he’s on the forum. I bought a BNIB Bluesy from him and he was 3k less than DavidSW BNIB!

Lots of mentions for David, but no mentions of his Miami location that he opened last year.

FWIW i wired david a lot of money and my watch showed up flawlessly

I've also done great business with SDWatches aka JustRolexes - he's in SoCal.

Now that I'm in the Southeast, AIS Watches is very much on my radar.

I have purchased 5 watches from DavidSW - absolutely beyond repute. True some of his prices are high. But he also has some very competitive prices. I purchased a new Omega Speedmaster Racing for the lowest price I could find this summer. I have seen a couple of Pateks for really great prices. Check out the JLCs on his site - very good prices. He has some good prices on “Tony Saprano” 18238 Day Dates.

Brent at Carbon watches in Naples always has a solid selection and good prices *top seller in Moda.

Brilliance Jewlers in miami are always great ask for Sophia 3056198946. They have two locations in miami

Both are willing to negotiate

Ive purchased two watches from Exquisite Timepieces in Naples, FL and have been very happy with the prices and level of customer service. They are authorized dealers for a few brands such as Omega and Tudor but also have a great selection of pre-owned timepieces.

I tend to agree. And he has a brick and mortar shop in Florida.
Not that you have to worry about finding him if you have an issue, but he is clearly in the business to last.

Eddie at Modern Swiss, TRF handle eddie_b. I drove to Jacksonville to do a face to face transaction with him and it was flawless. He's very professional and a great communicator.

Just bought a watch from Jacek with Tropical Watch LLC. No hiccups and overnight shipping. Couldn’t be more happy with my first not in person purchase.
