Hello from Miami!

Hi everyone,

I am a new member to the group who has always been a lover of watches but only recently over the past few months has really gotten into loving horology and the craftsmanship of timepieces. I am about to graduate from medical school, and so I am looking to commemorate the milestone with a dress watch with a 5k budget and a pre-owned datejust looks to be the perfect fit. Specifically, I find myself really liking the reference 16234 with blue dial and roman numerals, something 1990 and later.

So, I am looking for some guidance from you all regarding reputable grey-market dealers or overall the best places you all think I could keep my eye out for a DJ without getting burned by fakes/dishonest sellers.

I'd love any feedback/suggestions you have, and thank you in advance for helping me on my journey to obtain a special timepiece I hope to cherish for a lifetime!
