Anyone into watches?

I am in the market for a watch and am looking to spend about $1500 - $2500. I came across this site called authenticwatches.com which sells watches for a pretty good discount when compared to going to an jewelry store. For instance, one watch which retailed at $2,000 was on that site for about $1,400.

I heard a rumor that the watches on that site are gray market - meaning that they are not fake but since its not sold by an authorized dealer, the warranty is typically void.

Couple questions-

Has anyone here ever bought a watch from that site, or over the internet for that matter? Warranty aside, are there any concerns I should have - for example, is there a chance the watches could be fake? Are they damaged or were they the manufaturer rejects? Its a pretty well known website but who knows.

thanks
