Has anyone had any good experiences with an AD in the NYC area? Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn or LI area preferred.
I am looking to buy a SS Sub or GMT II and I want to buy from an AD. Any discounts out there to be had?
Thanks in advance.

I bought all my watches from trusted sellers on here but when I was new to the Rolex world and had no idea Rolexforums existed, I stopped in Tourneau and didn't have a very good experience with them. Wempe is a decent AD in the city but it is going to be very difficult to find a discount on the Sub or GMTIIc.

brian8121 · 10 March 2012, 05:51 AM

Talk to Melanie Epstein at Wempe. She's fantastic.

Note: Discounts are very hard to come by there if you're a first-timer - they'll likely tell you the watches are being bought up by people visiting from China. Not impossible to get a discount, but very difficult. And Rolex SS models, forget it.

ill have to remember that...

I like london jewlers in the hamptons, ALOT.

I use the London jewelers in manhasset. Good store, good selection but I doubt you'll get a discount on those watches.

roger0770 · 10 March 2012, 09:14 AM

great service at wempe! the rolex boutique by tourneau is snooby...

RX0-Unicorn · 10 March 2012, 09:21 AM

i purchased my watches from London in Manhasset.

nauticajoe · 10 March 2012, 09:38 AM

You are better off contacting one of the many reputable sellers here. Just check the FS section for either watch.

Happy Hunting!

KNMAD · 10 March 2012, 03:17 PM

Wempe is great customer service. See Terry Walden, she is fabulous. Never rule out a discount.. he he..

Wilson & Sons in Mt Kisco NY, purchased a 14060M last week there, ask for Monique or Mike Wilson, great service and very nice people.

I also vote for Wilson and sons but the Scarsdale location.. Well any of the 2 locations whichever one has the watch you want in stock..

VT_Adventure · 11 March 2012, 07:43 AM

Discounts were hard to come by when I bought my SubC in 2011. They were so popular at my AD that they didn't feel the need to discount. However, I received advice from a TRF member that helped me get a nice discount. Check your PM.

Come visit THE new ROLEX Boutique in NYC at the Rolex Building
on 53rd & 5th Ave when it opens! It's being presented & operated by Wempe.
Opening day is less than 3 weeks away!
It should be ready on Friday March 30th!
There'lll be more Rolex watches on display and for sale than you may have ever seen in one official shop!

TheMikeOfSteel · 11 March 2012, 11:08 AM

I just bought an Explorer I from Wilson & Son in Mt. Kisco today. Monique and Matt Wilson helped me. Great service, selection, and very nice people. :-)

Mikel212 · 11 March 2012, 11:28 AM

WEMPE is the best AD around. Forget the T. Bartmans on broadway downtown is hit or miss.

Tridor · 11 March 2012, 11:32 AM

+1 for Wilson & Sons. A GREAT AD!

jmadrid2 · 11 March 2012, 11:58 AM

I too have heard good things about Wempe but have never been there.

horseco · 11 March 2012, 12:57 PM

Why not a grey dealer???

Interesting. I drive by there quite a bit and have never gone inside. May have to check it out someday.

nadoo1004 · 8 May 2012, 12:01 PM

Excellent experience with Wilson & Son,Scarsdale. Great service by Michael Wilson, Great AD!

gwalker · 8 May 2012, 01:14 PM

If you want to drive into NJ Morre Lyons In Clifton, NJ has great service. The NYC boutiques selection is second to none (maybe Vegas stores) in the US.

Watch Professor · 8 May 2012, 01:31 PM

Tourneau at Roosevelt Field Mall and Walt Witman Mall on Long Island. Both have knowledgable and decent salespeople.
