I don’t care about the “uncertainty”. I want what i want because i want to wear it. But from AD only though :)

LateLearner · 9 May 2022, 11:00 AM

Having earned my gray hair, I’ll call it distinguished and be proud.

But personally, I wouldn’t be proud of paying gray watch prices.

Waiting for one, and will just wait.

To each their own.

Only from an AD. I did just buy one as a mother's day present. But never thought I'd see a day where I'd be happy to just pay mrsp for a tt dj.

I bought a DJ41 last year in the Uk from a grey. I live in Seoul and the ADs will not even let me in the door. So I am done until the craziness stops, if it does not stop I am happy with the one I have.

train-time · 9 May 2022, 09:46 PM

No plans to purchase any more at least for now. Over the past three decades I have had all the references that I wanted especially when my current AD sells for market price only. I will continue to acquire other manufacturer's pieces from time to time.

Adam84 · 9 May 2022, 10:02 PM

Still in the market but will only buy from my Local family AD.

Im not playing games going to multiple places, whether that gets me the watch i want or not who knows, but im a patient person and have other nice watches to wear.

In terms of the economy ive got enough savings to last me 12 months without work, if i didnt have that then i wouldnt be buying watches costing £6000 in times like this....trying to be financially responsible n all that.

Manu74 · 9 May 2022, 10:05 PM

AD only, never over retail.

Driver8 · 10 May 2022, 09:07 AM

My situation is the one option not available on the poll - ONLY buying from greys. And the reason for that is because I don't want any of the current models, and am just after 2 (possibly 3) discontinued models, so going grey is my only option.

(That said, all the time I wanted current models, I only ever purchased from ADs)

Harry-57 · 10 May 2022, 09:35 AM

My Rolex wish list is confined to one particular model variant. I'm on my AD's wait list and when my turn comes I will get the call. Weeks, months, years, it doesn't matter. The money is set aside, all I have to do is wait and enjoy what I already have, which is not difficult.

In the unlikely event that unworn, OEM stickered, second hand stock comes down to MSRP or below, I will walk into one of my trusted grey dealers. I think this very unlikely for the watch I want.

Gab27 · 10 May 2022, 09:37 AM

Bought my first from a secondary dealer. I'd like an OP, but I'd only buy it from an AD and only in new condition, as OP prices are so inflated elsewhere.

JadeRaven · 10 May 2022, 10:41 PM

Support secondary get secondary prices compete with chinese institutional buyers and flippers no thanks

Belinus · 11 May 2022, 07:17 AM

I’ve managed a Yacht Master from Rolex AD this year and a Seamaster from Omega. Still waiting for a Sea Dweller from AD.

geoferrypeter · 2 June 2022, 01:46 AM

I never buy from an AD, had a bad experience buying from my local AD, selling higher than I expected, I ended up getting from a private collector which was way cheaper.

Big J · 2 June 2022, 02:52 AM

Authorized dealer only

Tensai · 2 June 2022, 02:57 AM

So many sheep.
It doesn’t matter when you buy, so long as you buy at right price.

1665fan · 2 June 2022, 03:56 AM

Buying, and at good prices…..don’t miss the opportunity….

What increased uncertainty in the Rolex market?! Do you want the watch, or do you buy it just for an increase in value?!

I just hope that this individual speculators/flippers get washed out of this market! I prefer any grey than the little "no haves" who just wanna make some $$$ - they dont deserve any Rolex - in the opposite they destroy the brand with their behavior and attitudes!!!!

Watchcollector123 · 2 June 2022, 04:28 AM

Hmmm, no. Am buying Rolex pens.

MrMercedes · 2 June 2022, 05:28 AM

I m only buying at one AD!

S.Explorer · 2 June 2022, 05:29 AM

AD only.

stockae92 · 2 June 2022, 06:17 AM

I only buy from AD.

Never have and never will play $0.01 more than retail.

Plenty of fish out there. Rolex is not the only (watch) game in town.

Alexexec · 2 June 2022, 09:36 AM

AD only so far, the thrill of the chase, principle and price, now if grey prices were close or same to AD prices then trusted grey would be an option

swissfrank · 2 June 2022, 09:51 AM

AD only

SS Oyster · 2 June 2022, 09:53 AM

Grey Only , I’m not waiting around at The stuffy AD for them to bless me so I can be in their inner circle lottery list. If I see something I want I buy it. In 10-20 years I’m probably dead anyway. If I’m hungry today. I’m going to eat today . It’s better to burn out than to fade away ,, ☠️

RoscoPico · 2 June 2022, 10:52 AM

Have 0 faith in getting anything Rolex, PP, AP from ad's so I buy gray when it suits me.
And I don't see that changing any time soon.

Always from the AD, unless the timepiece has been discontinued, then from a reseller.
