Icon5 New Member Q: Trusted Seller/pre-owned retail in Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tucson area?

New member here. I have been bitten by the bug and am looking to buy my first Rolex, likely pre-owned. I am, however, experiencing the paralysis of choice. I am interested in: 1. A post-2000 Sub 16613 blue bezel/silver serti dial; 2. A post-2000 Sub 16613 TT sunburst blue dial; or 3. A recent 114060LN SS with ceramic bezel. Of course, this comes down to a matter of personal preference. Rather than buy sight unseen, I’d like to try on the actual watches I might buy, and see which gives the biggest thrill. (I realize most online sellers, including the Trusted Sellers on the forum, provide a few days “buyers remorse” return policy, but I’d rather not do that if I don’t have to, especially since I’m genuinely uncertain among the three.)

Anyway, this leads to my question: Is there a Trusted Seller or respected pre-owned retailer in the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tucson area who I could meet with to actually see what I might be buying? (I live in Tucson but would happily drive to Phoenix/Scottsdale for the chance.). I’m a serious purchaser and most likely would buy one of the three if given the opportunity.

Thanks,

Case

P.S. I have really enjoyed reviewing the various threads and offerings on this site, lots to learn.

Welcome to the Forum Case.

TRF is not a shopping site or service, so,

Sales and selling (or even hints that you are buying or selling) isn't allowed outside the For Sale Boards and is strictly between the buyer and seller.

If you find a seller who is a member of TRF then pm him/her to work out any questions or details that you have. I would encourage you to try on any that you are interested in at your local Dealers and research from there..

ED Marshals is great and has a nice collection of pre-owned watches that changes quite often. Also, The Estate Watch & Jewelry Company in Old Town Scottsdale has a great pre-owned collection (including a double red Sea Dweller the last time I was in there) and Hamra is North Scottsdale has many pre-owned Rolexes.

If they have exactly what you are looking for IDK. You could call them and inquire and I'm sure they would give you a heads up if something on you hit list shows up.
