Buying from jewelry store or a private jeweler??

[ev4evr]

Went to large mall Rolex store to look at datejust and was told that it’s $7350.

My private jeweler can sell it at 20-30% off (his wholesale price).

The large mall Rolex store told me that wholesale prices don’t exist and those could be stolen Rolex’s. To not trust someone that sells them lower than msrp, from a non-Rolex certified dealer. They freaked me out.

Thoughts?? Help!!!
