Also, don't want to deal with getting it appraised, etc. I wanted to post and see what the experts have to say? Any advice is appreciated . Thanks!

My fiancee bought me a Datejust II a few months ago for me to wear on our wedding day. I too actually arrived here on the forums to research all the info I needed to know before she made a purchase.

The "trusted sellers" here are called that for a reason and have very much earned that title. I contacted davidsw for the specific model and forwarded the info to my fiancee. (Prices are significantly less than retail)

From the moment I enquired about the watch to actually having it in my hands was probably less than 72 hours, and it was a huge plus to have my name on the warranty card.
My fiancee and I were beyond happy with the entire transaction.
