Buying Rolex in Canada

Can anyone recommend a good grey market dealer in Canada?

I am looking to buy a 14 no date sub as my first rolex. The prices posted in the for sale forum are great but in US currency. When you consider that our dollar is 77 cents to the US and the issue with getting it back to Canada - it seems like it would be cheaper to buy here - which is something someone else on the forum suggested.

Can anyone recommend a dealer who sells grey market or even someone on this site?

Thanks in advance - I love this site!

thanks for the comments.

As for the comment regarding just buying from an AD - i was trying to save a bit of cash and a few people told me they regretted buying new because of the savings they could get on used or from a non AD.

I will call you watchgeek to discuss - thanks so much for the offer!

If anyone is selling one - hit me up!

try talking to an AD first, because if you can get their base price you can haggle better with a grey dealer and it will leave you more room for options. Chances are you will only save $500 to $ 1000 from a grey dealer. Damiani Jewelers in woodbridge even offers layaway.
