Does anyone know who the best person to buy a Rolex Submariner Date w/ a black dial and a blue bezel is? Sorry if this is widely known I’m just not sure how to find information on here.

My advice would be to start in the NewMembersArea



especially the FAQs:


There are heaps of pinned/stickied threads that will help you to familiarise yourself with the process from start to finish, but there are a few key steps.

You've picked the watch, which if I am reading you correctly is the Cookie Monster 126619LB?

Next step is to pick the factory, and I'll give you a heads up, as I have this watch and VSF make a good version (in my opinion), but that's for you to research and decide - your money at the end of the day.

3rd step is to choose a TD (24 to choose from)
Read the reviews, contact them (using only the contact details or website from their forum page), check shipping costs, 1st order replace/refund policy etc..


Last step is to wait, patience is key.

I would recommend not rushing in, so to read a good bit before sending any money anywhere.

Best of luck & welcome to the forum

Hi there and welcome to RWI

I saw a guy on the corner of the street the other day wearing a rain coat and he had a paper under his arm. This could be that guy hehe.

But seriously, please make an effort and search for the Trusted Dealer subforum. There are over 20 TDs, customer reviews included. GL

VSF is the factory that makes the watch.

TDs are the middle men/women who buy from the factory, and they are the ones members deal with.

But I would really recommend you start in the NewMembersArea.

The FAQs have so much info that should be digested before you even consider sending anyone >$500.

You need to understand the process as it will help manage your expectations.

With 24 TDs to choose from, the choice is yours based on your research.

You could ask 24 members and theoretically get 24 different recommendations, but every TD has a review section, which is where I would recommend reading (after the NewMembersArea)

Best of luck
