Welcome! I live north of Boston. Feel free to PM if you want some advice. There are a TON of nice stores in Boston that sell Rolex and other watches. Check out this thread here for a nice list and discussion:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...ghlight=boston

If you are serious about buying one then I suggest using "trusted sellers" right here on TRF. Do a little research in the who's who section and you will see that many members here have excellent reputations. Its tough to lay out a lot of money to a stranger over a wire and via talk and email. But there are several folks here in this community that I would hand my wallet and keys without reservation. Ask questions there and you will find what you need.

Good luck my new friend!
