Some pieces may not come with cert/paper but box is not an issue, you will get it. You can always bring to Rolex Centre to authenticate at your own cost of course, but to many...it's not necessary. Trust the seller,don't trust don't buy.

Generally it's safe to buy from there...just avoid Peng KwXX, pricing is quite near the sky....

Those 3 you mentioned carry quite decent collection, you can go check that out.

Yeap it's alright to buy those w/o certs.

For a peace of mind, just get the watch authenticated at the RSC, after purchase. Let the sales person know your intention and most will agree that if the watch is not found original or fake, the shop will do a full refund. But be reasonable and don't delay too long to authenticate if you decide to.

Happy shopping..

Thanks everyone for your valuable tips!

It may be subjective but I have heard from my friend a bad experience. He bought his over-priced DD at peoples park so I guess you need to do some homework before engaging into the buying spree. Good luck to your search. Cheers.
