I agree with everything that has been stated. I bought my 5396 in July and paid MSRP from an AD. Since this was an heirloom piece to pass to my son, it was important to have my name on the papers. Spending this much money, I also wanted peace of mind regarding authenticity. For these reasons, an $8-10k savings was not worth it for me to go grey.
Btw, which 5396 are you looking to get? It truly is a fantastic watch!
