AD's in New York/New Jersey & ROO Diver
I have been a collector of Rolex watches for the last few years and have just begun looking at APs to add to my collection. I live in New York City and would like to find someone local if I could. I know AP has the boutique on 57th street but in my experience the boutique prices are not competitive at all (please correct me if I'm wrong). I also know of Tourneau but their prices are also not as competitive in my experience. I have a great AD for Rolex's out in NJ who gets me competitive prices and keeps me updated on new models coming in. I am looking for the same type of person for my AP purchase. If anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. The first watch I am looking to get is the ROO diver. I have been quietly scanning the pages of this forum and this watch really sticks out as my next purchase. If anyone can also provide some insight as to what a fair discount % that I can expect off MSRP that would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

The Rolex inventory took up four cases and the Omega were in a small case in the back. With some encouragement from me, they moved the Omegas up front near the entrance and soon added a se
