How is it different than a piece which sells for a significant discount to retail. If a piece can be bought for considerably less than retail in essentially new condition, why would anyone pay full retail? Consider the essentially ubiquitous Omega Speedmaster Professional. Who pays retail for these? And how does Omega ever sell one for retail? Would anyone here pay full retail for a basic Hesalite OSP? And yet it must happen.
The difference being, if you don't know any better or you want one immediately with no research and waiting you buy retail. Whereas, with the 5712a if you want one immediately with no research and waiting, you buy Grey.
