My AD sales pitch, Interested in this? They go for 5k more in the Grey market

This was a text I received yesterday, asking if I'd be interested in buying a Rose Gold Daytona Flex.

Couldn't this be taken as a temptation/offer to flip?

It's a love/hate relationship?????

Sales tactics? I don't think a private seller can get 5k over retail.

I would have asked them "why don't you sell it there then?"

I’m not surprised. Seems like this AD is trying to take advantage of the opportunity. Seems a far stretch though for that particular model.

Yeah, I'm kind of pointing out that all this talk about Rolex and the Ad's hating the grey market is BS.....It works hand in hand they both assist the other.

Trashy.

Down the track this AD could be one that loses their AD status. If so, you can be certain they would be crying the blues about Rolex being unfair, pulled out the rug from under them, generations of selling their watches, they never saw it coming, blah, blah, blah.....

Tell them for a $10K discount you’ll take the watch and split any profits over MSRP on the gray market with them.

He is high if he thinks youll get 5k over msrp including tax.

Lucky to get 28500 for one of those and you'll prob have it for a year in this market.
