If you are going grey for lightly used, I agree with dauster that this should be trading at a bigger discount than $4K. if you look at the small version 7234, it’s trading in the mid-$30Ks or around 30% below MSRP. The larger 5524 should command less discount because it’s probably more desire (it’s marketed as a men’s watch while the smaller one as women’s watch). However, the gap between those models should not be that big.
Thank you for the information. There's only 1 PP AD near me, and they said I pretty much have to buy a model from their pre-owned selection of various brands to establish a relationship with them to MAYBE get a 5524R. I'm not playing that game. All of their pre-owned models are over MSRP and none appeal to me.
I guess my best bet is to go gray when the prices drop or an out of city AD for new.
