Rolex retailer Boston

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Rolex dealer in the Boston area? I made promise to that I would buy a Rolex as a gift if a goal was achieved. As the goal nearly completed I am getting ready to make the purchase.

As it is a gift I am going to let them pick it out. I wouldn't pick out a Rolex but it is a gift and their choice so I will smile and pay. I would like a dealer in the Boston area or New England. Unless I could get a really great deal online but I am leery of this and it takes some of the fun out the shopping experience. I would like the store to have a good selection and maybe a little atmosphere. As I am buying my preference would be a selection from the trunk of Fast Eddy's car but alas I keep my word. I'd prefer to buy a used Rolex and give them the difference but that would be tacky so I won't.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

used, don't you mean pre-owned?

Or the more bromidic : "pre-loved." I always hate this euphemism. It sounds like someone had sex with their watch.

Thanks for the recommendations - any new retailers that anybody has experience with? I'd prefer to buy vintage, used, pre loved but it is a gift so they would probably prefer new. Thanks again.

Alpha Omega in Cambridge is just finishing up a bankruptcy liquidation sale. They are/were a Rolex AD.
