Welcome to TRF, Steve....and if your're Steve McQueen, then I must be Telly Savalas!!

The ONLY way to buy a Rolex, as far as I'm concerned, is brand new from an AD.

Good luck, pal - JJ

Steve,

Welcome to this League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.....

I'm not sure you can find an internet site that is an "authorized" seller of New Rolex.

There are plenty of used though and a good used Dealer or Gray Market Dealer is a good bet.

I live an ocean away so can't help you, but I'm sure there will be plenty of good advice shortly..

Steve....Ask this question over on the "General Rolex Forum" part of the site and many, many more folks will see it.....

JJ's right. If you can afford it the AD is the only way to go. However, it's possible to purchase the real deal and at less cost. But there, you can't afford NOT to do your homework. Reading, studying, learning, and meeting people you can trust. Takes time and patients but it can be done. I bought both of mine that way.
I've purchased only 3 watches new from an AD. I'd love the experience of purchasing the new GMT from an AD sometime in the not too distant future.

Good luck,
dP
