New Member...Looking to Buy Soon
Good Afternoon All,
I'm looking to buy my wife a 10 Year Anniversary gift. As is usually the case, I've put it off until later rather than sooner. Also, as usual, I started doing some Google research and came upon a great message board with a wealth of info. Thanks in advance. My problem is I have 2 weeks and I live an hour and a half away from most dealers. I really need to purchase something by internet, as I probably won't get into town to browse in person. Any suggestions on where I can turn for a quck, but reliable, buy? I'm open to new or used and can probably spend $5k to $10k. Looking for something white gold or stainless with a larger dial. I found this: http://www.tourneau.com/shop/certifi...tomatic-49903p but have no idea what kind of deal or bad deal it might be. Thanks in advance. Chip |

Welcome to TRF.
Personally I wouldn't put a time limit on a purchase of this magnitude. I would take my time and make sure I had a chance to see a number of examples in person before deciding, regardless of where I decided to purchase. You could always try some of the trusted sellers here as well.

Welcome to TRF!
First determine what you want. Second read the Who's Who section. You will see who the trusted sellers are. Third contact one or two of the trusted sellers. Done deal.
