Icon7 Hey from NC

Hello everyone! This is my first post - I have always wanted a quality timepiece. Rolex has always come to mind. I am in law enforcement and want a watch that I can be proud of for my ongoing career. It will be worn on occasion but for the most part I want to pass it down to my daughter later on. I am looking at the oyster perpetual 34mm with olive green dial. If I was going to buy online with a CC what would be the best price/retailer to go to? The best price I have found it for is 3990. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!!!!

Welcome. Look up some of our Trusted Sellers here on TRF. I have used a few but DavidSW and Tony G have been the best to me. I am also in N.C. and can make some recommendations for A.D.'s which can help you in the Charlotte area. Send me a PM and I can give you the names and who to talk with for the best service.

Welcome to the forum. DavidSW is my go to guy and has a nice website. Super easy to deal with. Look in the "who's who" subsection in the sales area for sales reviews.
Good luck on the hunt.
FYI, forum has rules about gun talk...as in no gun talk.

I'm in Charlotte. I've bought significantly from Windsor, great place to do business and everyone there is a watch guy.
I bought a Chopard from Jomashop. I love the watch and they had it 50% of retail. It was a good experience but after sales service is where they lack and remember you won't have the manufacturers warranty.
All the trusted sellers are great here, but I really like Jacek at HQ Milton. I was nervous about a $10k+ sight unseen transaction and they were great. He specializes in pre loved and vintage though, which is where my tastes have turned.

Good luck.

Carolina Watch Club meets monthly, would be a great place to gain some exposure.
