Advice on buying a 15202 from grey dealer

[AlyRba]

Hi,

I had a 15202 previously which I had to let go for personal reasons and now looking to buy one from a grey dealer as it’s impossible to get one from the boutique. I want to buy an unworn 15202 but none of the reputable grey dealers like DavidSW, Takuya, and OCWatchGuy have one. Chrono24 has few listed from dealers based in NY. I am assuming they are located in Diamond district.

I have read few horror stories recently of really good fakes. Apparently someone bought a used Royal Oak 15400 which was passed as genuine by a boutique/AD staff but later found out to be a fake when it was inspected by the AP service center. At this point, i won’t be able to fly and get the watch checked in person by AP boutique NY. So slightly hesitant of picking one up from Chrono24 if it’s not being sold by DavidSW, Takuya, or OCWatchGuy.

Am I being paranoid or are my concerns genuine? Looking for advice. Thank you.
