I am looking forward to buying my first Rolex and I keep seeing reasonable deals on preowned Rolexes on Craigslist. Does anyone have any thoughts or tips on buying a preowned Rolex from Craigslist? I have read several articles online that all say to never buy from Craigslist. I understand why you need to be cautious but I don't understand why you should never buy a Rolex from the site. It seems to me that if you have some common sense and you are cautious about what you buy there are some good deals on used Rolexes. Not everyone out there can be trying to scam you. If you understand that if it is too good to be true it probably is and if you have the watch authenticated by an Authorized Dealer, why not buy one? Of course I would only buy locally and in person. Are ADs not willing/able to verify the authenticity of a Rolex? I am sure there are plenty of people out there that have purchased a Rolex from someone or someplace other than an AD. I am really interested in reading your thoughts and opinions.
