How is that the "the reality"? In fact, this doesn't make any sense at all. Rolex makes 1M watches a year, the grey market supply is a small fraction of what Rolex has made cumulatively over the last few years. In the scenario from your post, there's only flippers and new clients who sell in the "first 6-12 months"? Where do all these watches go? As there is no-one hanging on to their watches, it's just millions of watches forever circulating among greys?
