$12,000 GBP sounds like the price a grey market dealer would charge as I have a couple around here who are asking that amount in CAD equivalent.

You're in the UK. You're shit out of luck when it comes to resources to find one of these unlike myself in North American market, there's plenty if you take your time and look around.
Agreed, the UK is a shit place to buy Rolex, both in Ads (although that's a worldwide phenomenon) and in greys as it's a sellers market over here due to the way these watches end up over seas, leaving less choice for the local brits.

Just came back from a trip to Hong Kong where full set Hulks can be had from greys for around £10k. Of course I'd rather wait for one at an AD but then I have decent history with one so my chances may be better then others.
