Trusted seller?

[Angrypuppy]

After cruising this site and researching for awhile now, I have a list of 5-6 sellers that I think I would be comfortable with.

If I plan to purchase multiple watches is there any advantage to establishing a relationship and sticking with one person?

Is it fair and expected to negotiate with these sellers?

Thank you

Expected? I wouldn't say so. Fair? Sure, it never hurts to ask. They all deal in Rolex but some kind of specialize a little. Some deal in Patek while others will offer Panerais. As a result, if your collection is broad enough you'll have the pleasure of dealing with all of them eventually over time. Availability is another reason you may work with multiple sellers.

Yes and Yes! I'm sure they would all welcome the opportunity to discuss your watch needs and plans!

John, thank you from across the water in a little fake Norwegian city.

Thank you, everything I'm looking for is pretty run of the mill. Looks like most sellers offer what I want at one time or another.

after you buy a couple watches from one seller you will always get a little bit of a better deal but not much just because most of the watches here on TRF are wholesale prices to begin with :)

No problem - you are a free agent now - on vacation, remember?

Haha. You're good. I figured there was some connection.
