Rolex. Best way to buy one. . .

Have a 10 year old DateJust and stopped by a shop to look around. Tried on a new gold/stainless GMT2...very nice weight and feel...looks good too. I travel back and forth between Atlanta and So. Cal, so it would be nice to not have to reset every time (rationalizing a bit). Anyway, list price was about 10.1k. Said he'd give about $3.3k for mine in trade and could move a little bit on the new one.

How much margin is in these things? I saw a reputable shop in Baltimore advertising it for $8.5k on the net. Would it be realistic to expect him to match/beat that price? Thoughts? Is there a good source for Rolex that won't take you to the cleaners? Would be apprehensive to buy over the web, but can arrange to transact in person on my travels.

Thanks.
